Meghan Markle debuted her new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, on Tuesday, sharing a delightful glimpse into her children’s school life.
In the first episode, she revealed the special meal that frequently makes its way into Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’s packed lunches.
During a cooking segment with A-list celebrity makeup artist Daniel Martin, Meghan demonstrated how to prepare a family favorite she calls “single skillet spaghetti.” In the video, she described the dish as a simple tomato-based, one-pot meal that is easy to make.
“When I prepare this dish, I make it for my family. While my kids may not eat mountains of noodles, I ensure there are enough leftovers for their lunchboxes,” Meghan explained. The recipe includes a mix of yellow and red vine tomatoes, parmesan cheese, garlic, olive oil, kale, and a sprinkle of arugula, basil, and “finishing salt,” resulting in a hearty meal that Daniel remarked “tastes so [expletive] good.”
Meghan compared the experience to a Beyoncé song, saying, “It’s like that Beyoncé song, ‘Cozy.'”
Despite Daniel jokingly referring to himself as Meghan’s “only ratchet friend,” he is affectionately known as “Uncle Daniel” to Archie and Lilibet and has been a constant support for Meghan throughout significant events in her life, particularly during her time with the royal family. “He’s very much a mainstay. The kids call him ‘Uncle Daniel,'” she shared.
The episode is full of surprises, including Meghan’s discovery that Daniel is left-handed. When he accidentally cut his right hand while chopping tomatoes, a concerned Meghan exclaimed, “He’s an artist; these hands can’t be hurt!” Daniel reassured her, saying, “Oh, but I’m left-handed, so this is fine.”
Meghan and Daniel first crossed paths when she starred in Suits, and Meghan reached out for a makeup artist before even having a publicist.
According to Daniel, her love language has remained consistent since their initial meeting: “You’ve always shown your love through food,” he reflected. He reminisced about their first collaboration, recalling, “I remember the food service wasn’t up and running, and you asked, ‘Can I get you a coffee or anything?'”
