    “A trick that people do with pineapple, instead of just cutting it…” she told Randi while giving a demo with the fruit.

    She proceeded to cut the pineapple along the diagonal lines and said, “To make the perfect little bite, you follow the wedge.”

    “When nature has given you all the cues on how to have a perfect taste of something,” she added just before savoring a bite of the fruit.

    “How fun is that. I love it,” Randi said.

    The episode guest went on to try the trick herself, and it worked perfectly.

    “The audience isn’t stupid. It was precut for you,” read one comment online

    “She needs to give it up,” one said, while another asked, “Who did she copy this idea from?”

    After the March 4 premiere of With Love, Meghan, the eight-episode series amassed around 2.6 million views and 12.6 million hours watched in about a week.

    The second season of the show has already been filmed and is slated to release on Netflix this fall.

    “The series is about doing what you can do,” she told People in March, “and doing it with love.”

    The 43-year-old said the show put her back in her “honeymoon period” with Prince Harry

    Meghan said the show put her back in her “honeymoon period” with Prince Harry.

    “My husband met me when I had The Tig,” she said, referring to her lifestyle blog, which she shut down in 2017, ahead of tying the knot with the British royal.

    “I see this spark in his eye when he sees me doing the thing that I was doing when he first met me,” she continued.

    “It’s almost like a honeymoon period again, because it’s exactly how it was in the beginning when he’d watch me scribbling away, writing newsletters, fine-tuning edits and just really being in the details of it,” she said.

    The Duchess said her husband has loved watching her make the Netflix series and launch her lifestyle brand As ever.

    “I think he loves watching as much as I love doing that creative process. It’s just been fun. This is who I’ve always been,” she added.

    The second season of the show has already been filmed and is expected to release this fall

    Director Michael Steed and crew members of the lifestyle show spoke about what it was like working with the Suits alum.

    “Most of the time, we’re expected to fade into the background, to be invisible,” a crew member told People. “But in this show, we were part of it. We were included. It was a very unique and refreshing experience.”

    He said the royal mother-of-two made everyone feel included and would do something thoughtful for the crew each week.

    “Whether it was a coffee cart in the morning or there was one day where the forecast called for it to be particularly hot, and she had a shaved ice truck for us at lunch,” the crew member said.

    “One day, she had a bespoke ice cream cart with local homemade ice cream. She had an acai truck for us, too,” he added. “Every week, she did something like that for us. It was really lovely.

    Director Michael described Meghan as “friendly” and “totally L.A., California, through and through.”

    He said she would often play music in between scenes, and he would eventually have to turn it off to keep the shoot on track.

    “I was always the one who had to turn the music off—that as my role to keep everything on track. She’d call me the ‘Brooklyn Bummer,’” he laughed and said.

    Honestly, I'm totally indifferent to her but I can't think of anyone else you gets singled out for negative stories by the media as much as her - there are literally people that have been convicted of nasty things that have had less negative press than her. It's sad to see Bored Panda jumping on the bandwagon, I honestly expected better.

    It's because of what she did, how she did it, and tried to justify it. Things like moaning about Archie not being a prince because of racism, when that's not actually how titles are awarded, didn't help; but it's mainly portraying herself as something she clearly isn't, which is fine when she's being an actress, but grates when it's supposed to be "real" life. She appears to expect to be respected and popular without earning it.

    Why are we platforming the hate this woman receives? I saw this same technique on Youtube get applauded. This woman does the same thing and gets hate. Maybe we don't keep feeding into this c**p.
