Netflix viewers who tuned into the Duchess of Sussex's new lifestyle series With Love, Meghan, have given their verdict on social media.

The eight-parter sees Meghan invite a host of celebrity friends to a stunning California estate, where she shares cooking, gardening and hosting tips, while opening up about her life in California, her upbringing and her love of food. The series also features a few cameos from her husband, Prince Harry, and various references to their two children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three.

While there were mixed reviews from viewers, with some calling the show "boring", others praised it as "soothing" and described the series as a peaceful tonic to the stresses of everyday life.

One person wrote: "Okay, I'm not even 30 minutes into episode 1 and I can honestly say #WithLoveMeghan is the best. I needed this show. With all the drama happening here in the US, it's great to watch a fun, relaxing, peaceful, joyful, informative, great show. Thank you Meghan and @netflix," while another viewer wrote: "#WithLoveMeghanOnNetflix is such a feel good show. I'm two episodes in and I've loved every minute."
