The note that proves it: Meghan has won ...Middle East

It is unarguably the classiest clapback ever. A calligraphy clapback, no less. Two weeks on, we’re all still talking about Meghan Markle’s – sorry, Sussex’s – Netflix show. Every human being on the planet with social media has scathingly reviewed or parodied it, and in presumably the most brutal blow to date, Kerry Katona let it be known that she switched off after five minutes.

On Thursday Meghan sent a handwritten note, on monogrammed, Crown-embossed card, technically to one podcaster but really, surely, to the world. It proved something, without a shadow of doubt. She has won.

In January, Not Skinny But Not Fat’s Amanda Hirsch, worried about the reaction Meghan would get to the show, had posted a picture of the series’ trailer, with the caption: “You guys, I’m scared for Meghan.” In awe-inspiring penmanship, Meghan has replied: “I heard you were feeling scared. Don’t be! This is the fun part. Let’s enjoy it.”

It was cheeky. It was jubilant. It was perfect.

So hard not to hope that Meghan genuinely is enjoying this moment and that she’s been trolling her detractors throughout. The facts speak for themselves – the mass criticism was a free global advertising campaign. People only watching to slag it off ensured viewing figures that secured her a second season. She’s happy in her mansion in the Montecito sunshine, with her husband and kids, eating fruit arranged on a plate in the colours of the rainbow.

Ding, ding, ding, jackpot! Good for her. The anti-Meghan brigade have just loathed her all the way to the bank, and made her more famous than ever. And let’s be totally honest here – if Stacey Solomon had made that programme, everyone would have loved it.

Obviously Meghan’s global tell-all Oprah Winfrey interview was slightly at odds with the Queen’s “Never complain, never explain” policy but it is unusual for her to personally respond to someone like this.

Especially as she has previously insisted that she doesn’t read her own press, because, “It can all sort of just feel like noise”. (And guessing that noise sounds a lot like “boo”.)

Sending this message adds to the delicious theory that much of the way she has played it lately has been knowing. Even the name of the show, for example. It’s hard to believe With Love, Meghan was offered up earnestly, sincerely, affectionately. She called it that on purpose, to be provocative.

After all, is it ironic that a programme called With Love has been almost solely hate-watched, or the best marketing imaginable? As she said in her note, now it’s time for fun.

Not even the Meghan haters could begrudge her this

Meghan can also hopefully see that much of what has been said about her show, and the strength of the vitriol aimed at it, is ridiculous. She was taking things out of bags and putting them in other bags, not sticking drawing pins into puppies’ eyeballs.

The same people who were furious with her for talking about the Royal Family at other times are equally angry that she didn’t mention them on this.

There was outrage that she filmed in a house that “wasn’t even hers” (wait till they find out all those EastEnders don’t really live in Albert Square) and at her hair and make-up. On this TV show, she was dressed more to look good on a TV show than in a manner practical for cooking, if you can believe such a thing. Also, imagine if she had been in stain-splattered scruffs, and how that would have gone down.

The lack of chemistry with her friends was a point of contention for many viewers – her mate Daniel, a make-up artist, seemed awkward on screen. On a programme he knows will be scrutinised by people all around the world. Weird.Beekeeping and extravagant flower arrangements are not relatable, because most people can’t afford to live like that. Correct. It’s called escapism, heard of it?

Meghan must have learned by now – the hardest way possible – that she’s damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t. So she might as well stop trying to please everyone, grin and lean in.

With Love, Meghan is her most successful project so far. She’s having the last laugh. And she can probably fill a whole episode in the second series explaining how to execute the perfect calligraphy clapback. Bravo.
