Does everybody love Meghan back?

After I watched the first episode of With Love, Meghan, filmed in a cottage overlooking seemingly endless gardens of fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers, I went to sleep dreaming of orange flowers in a sea of green.

Like one of the gardens in Keukenhof in The Netherlands. I woke up with a smile.

It was a feel-good episode because of the colors swirling on the kitchen table, the garden, inside the refrigerator, on top of the cake. Meghan Markle—oops, Sussex—is the only one in neutrals in the scenario, probably to foil all the color around her—which I love. The first episode, in which Meghan's friend Daniel Martin comes to visit, also makes one's mouth water for the layered frosted honey cake Meghan (at least on TV) bakes from scratch. She prepares a guest basket filled with home-grown pasalubongs for Daniel, displayed in translucent jars with dainty ribbons around them. She makes candles from beeswax. She also gets a perk from coffee, indulges in bacon and sips champagne, so she's human. She doesn't abstain from life's indulgences. How could anyone be so perfect, so perfectly human?

According to Netflix, With Love, Meghan "blends practical how-tos and candid conversation with friends, new and old. Meghan shares personal tips and tricks, embracing playfulness over perfection, and highlights how easy it can be to create beauty, even in the unexpected. She and her guests roll up their sleeves in the kitchen, the garden, and beyond, and invite you to do the same."

In the eight-part Netflix series, Meghan invites viewers into her world, offering a peek at her beloved recipes and providing some private glimpses of life with Prince Harry and their kids, Archie and Lilibet. The series is shot in Montecito, California, in a home that probably evokes an English cottage and garden. No, she stresses, the house is not hers.

The first episode begins with honey—with Meghan and a beekeeper harvesting that golden liquid from honeycombs with bees swirling at one point. I am glad I didn't dream of the bees, just the garden.
