It’s not suited for everyone.
Meghan Markle couldn’t help but laugh after one of her “With Love, Meghan” guests shaded the show she starred on for seven years.
Mixologist Payman Bahmani-Bailey, who appears in the new season of Markle’s Netflix lifestyle series, admitted that he never watched “Suits” while teaching the Duchess of Sussex how to make cocktails.
The awkward incident unfolded during the new season’s seventh episode as Bahmani-Bailey, who used to be an attorney, explained how he became a mixologist.
“That’s a very good question,” he began. “So, I was a lawyer in New York.”
Before Bahmani-Bailey could continue, Markle interjected to ask whether he had watched “Suits,” the legal drama she appeared in as Rachel Zane from its debut on the USA Network in 2011 until her departure in 2018.
“No, no, I don’t watch basic cable,” Bahmani-Bailey bluntly responded. “I like shows with curse words and stuff.”
Markle laughed off the small slight and continued to observe as the mixologist taught her how to make a drink with 50% gin and 50% vermouth.
“Great, I love it!” Prince Harry’s wife chuckled before the pair moved on to the next cocktail.
Markle, 44, exited “Suits” in 2018 shortly before her marriage to Prince Harry, 40, that same year.
The series continued for two more seasons after Markle’s departure, and it received a resurgence in popularity in 2023 when it was released on Netflix.
“I’m not surprised that people are rediscovering ‘Suits’ because it was so well written and so well produced,” Markle said of the show during an interview with People published earlier this year.
“It’s a time capsule for me,” she added at the time.
However, Bahmani-Bailey wasn’t the only “With Love, Meghan” guest to make the Duchess of Sussex crack up on camera during the show’s newest season.
After introducing “Queer Eye” expert Tan France as another one of this season’s guest stars, Markle and the fashion designer joked about the return of her infamous flower sprinkles while making French toast together.
“What was that you just added?” France asked during the third episode.
“Flower sprinkles,” Markle responded. “I love them.”
“Wow, that’s the gayest s–t I’ve seen in a long time,” France joked as the former actress laughed from the other side of her kitchen island.
The latest season of “With Love, Meghan” was released Tuesday, Aug. 26, just months after the show premiered on Netflix this past March.
Similar to the premiere season, Markle’s latest batch of eight episodes has received mixed reviews, and some celebrity chefs have already voiced their disappointment.
“I tried to keep an open mind, hoping it might be an improvement on the first series,” Jameson Stocks exclusively told The Post. “But just two minutes in, I was already done with this bulls–t.”
“I found myself thinking, ‘What am I even doing watching this?’” he continued. “She’s looking for credibility with the chefs and guests, just because you know a good cook doesn’t mean you are a good cook, I find it all really embarrassing.”
