“I think I knew who I was trying to meet,” the Duchess of Sussex said on “The Circuit with Emily Chang” Tuesday, referring to the mixed reviews Season 1 of her lifestyle show received.
“And so if you know your audience, you know your demographic, well, they love the show, and my partners love the show, and that’s why we have a Season 2 and why we have more fun coming.”
Markle, 44, claimed the haters could secretly be fans, as well.
“I think oftentimes, the negative voices are saying negative things, and then secretly going home and making single-skillet spaghetti? Possibly,” she quipped.
“And that’s all right. They’re trying to pay their bills, and that’s for them to sort out if they’re comfortable doing it at someone else’s detriment.”
Markle said the Netflix series was meant to “share more of [herself], to share tips that I love in my life and to have fun.”
Since the “Suits” alum’s show, “With Love, Meghan,” premiered on Netflix in March, there have been mixed reviews about the series.
UK critics trashed the show, in which Markle shares cooking and hosting tips.
Daily Mail columnist Amanda Platell claimed the series was “so awful it is almost compelling,” while the Guardian writer Stuart Heritage wrote a review calling the project “so pointless it might be the Sussexes’ last TV show.”
Heritage also claimed there was “a lot of whining” from both Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, and that “the thirsty part of Meghan still exists.”
The Independent’s Katie Rosseinsky said the show felt “like a millennial blog come to life” and that it “simultaneously strains for aspiration and relatability in a way that never gels.”
Meanwhile, the Telegraph’s Anita Singh claimed Markle didn’t have any real skills in the kitchen.
The show did appear to be well-received by viewers in the United States, however.
Harper’s Bazaar’s Bianca Betancourt said the mom of two is back where she belongs and has returned to her lifestyle guru roots at The Tig, the lifestyle blog she ran before becoming a royal.
“Curated crostinis and freshly-squeezed mimosas aside, one can’t help but notice that Meghan seems so happy — to be a mom, to feel safe at home, and to have creative freedom once again,” Betancourt wrote.
Markle’s use of Le Creuset cookware on the series also sparked a dramatic increase in sales.
Despite the backlash, “With Love, Meghan” was picked up for a second season, which dropped on Netflix on Tuesday.
