Meghan Markle’s Hilarious Note to Podcaster Proves She’s Unfazed by Critics
Imagine a royal throwing shade with a handwritten note—because that’s exactly what Meghan Markle did when she took on skepticism over her new Netflix show, *With Love, Meghan*. After a podcaster expressed concerns about the potential backlash Meghan might face, the Duchess of Sussex responded with an unexpected dose of humor. In a letter shared by Amanda Hirsch, host of the *Not Skinny But Not Fat* podcast, Meghan reassured her, saying, “Dear Amanda, I heard you were feeling scared. Don’t be! This is the fun part — let’s enjoy it.” Now, if only all celebrities could respond to criticism with such grace and wit, the world might be a less tumultuous place.
Hirsch’s original concern, which she later clarified on her Instagram Stories, stemmed from the relentless scrutiny Meghan has faced since stepping into the public eye. Hirsch articulated the fears many fans share—will the show be met with the same vitriol Meghan has encountered throughout her life? Yet, rather than retreating in fear, Meghan’s playful response not only disarmed her critics but also endeared her further to her supporters.
*With Love, Meghan* debuted on March 4 and quickly climbed Netflix’s charts, even landing spots in the U.S. and U.K. Top 10 lists. Meghan describes the series as a “love letter” to her passions, something a friend pointed out while visiting the set. It’s a refreshing reminder that, amid the chaos of public opinion, she’s focused on authenticity and creativity.
Despite the noise, Meghan remains undeterred; she’s already filmed a second season, set to release this fall. The Duchess’s ability to maintain her poise in the face of adversity is a lesson for us all. As Hirsch now declares herself a “fan for life” and contemplates monogramming Meghan’s stationery, one can’t help but wonder: could a witty note be the ultimate mic drop in the world of celebrity?
