Kelly Clarkson Unaware of Meghan Markle’s Netflix Show “With Love, Meghan”

Brian Tyree Henry and Elizabeth Olsen Bond Over “With Love, Meghan”; Clarkson Puzzled
Henry, while promoting his upcoming thriller “Panic Carefully” alongside co-star Elizabeth Olsen, revealed that their mutual appreciation for “With Love, Meghan” became a point of connection.
“Elizabeth and I share a bond over enjoying unconventional television,” Henry explained. “By unconventional, I mean shows we genuinely appreciate. We are currently captivated by ‘With Love, Meghan’.”
Clarkson, appearing visibly confused, responded with a question, “What is that?”
Clarkson Learns About Meghan Markle’s Lifestyle Venture
Henry clarified, “It’s the new show featuring Meghan Markle, also known as the Duchess of Sussex, where she’s venturing into lifestyle content, somewhat like Martha Stewart.” He further elaborated on Markle’s “flower sprinkles,” a product from her new lifestyle brand, As Ever, describing them as edible decorations for food. “Elizabeth and I decided we need to explore this flower sprinkles trend,” Henry added.
“I would actually love that show!” Clarkson remarked.
Henry concurred, “Meghan is definitely exploring something innovative that we haven’t yet grasped!”
Flower Sprinkles and Calligraphy: Henry’s Fascination with Markle’s Show
Henry disclosed that Olsen gifted him a jar of flower sprinkles, a signature item from Markle’s lifestyle brand, As Ever, upon completion of their film project. “Moreover,” Henry continued, “Meghan is known for her impressive calligraphy skills – she does it herself. Elizabeth even had her husband replicate Meghan’s calligraphy style. We’ve formed a flower sprinkles fan club and are hoping for a guest appearance on the show.”
Clarkson enthusiastically exclaimed to the camera, “Meghan, get him on your show!”
Henry further suggested potential show segments, “Given that our movie has an apocalyptic theme, I suggested to Elizabeth, ‘Wouldn’t it be fantastic if Julia Roberts, you, and I appeared on Meghan’s show for a doomsday preparation segment?'”
Clarkson added, “Or perhaps something like Martha Stewart’s dinner party episodes? Meghan could create a special meal – what would that meal be?”
“Flower sprinkles!” Henry promptly responded, eliciting laughter from Clarkson.
Meghan Markle Responds to Clarkson and Henry’s Exchange
Following the broadcast, Markle responded to Henry’s remarks by sharing the segment on her Instagram Stories. She wrote, “Love this so much! Special delivery coming soon for you two gems! @briantyreehenry & Lizzie Olsen.” The “Suits” actress also expressed gratitude for the support of “@aseverofficial and WLM on @netflix.”
“With Love, Meghan”: Renewed for Season 2 Despite Reviews
The inaugural eight-episode season of “With Love, Meghan” features Markle in a kitchen setting alongside celebrity guests, including Mindy Kaling and Abigail Spencer, her former “Suits” co-star.
Despite receiving unfavorable reviews and attracting fewer viewers than “Meghan & Harry” in 2022, “With Love, Meghan” has been renewed for a second season. Netflix, which has a significant $100 million deal with Markle and Prince Harry, also has investments in Markle’s brand, As Ever.
Surprising Connection: Markle a Fan of Clarkson
Although Clarkson is unfamiliar with Markle’s program, they surprisingly share an ironic connection.
In February 2024, during an appearance on Clarkson’s talk show, Spencer revealed that Markle is a devoted admirer of the “Stronger” singer.
“Meghan sends her greetings and expresses her admiration,” Spencer conveyed to Clarkson, “She also voted for you on ‘American Idol.’ Just recently, she dined with Michael Bublé, who declared you the greatest singer alive.”
“This was completely unprompted. Meghan was unaware of my scheduled appearance,” Spencer clarified. “We were simply conversing when I mentioned, ‘Oh, I’m seeing Kelly next week,’ and she immediately said, ‘I have a message for her.'”
