Hirsch had initially commented on Meghan’s Instagram post promoting 'With Love, Meghan', expressing concern over the inevitable wave of criticism that follows the Duchess.

The podcaster elaborated on the intent behind her initial remark in her Instagram Stories. "Remember I said I was scared for Meghan's new show and the possible hate she would get bc for some reason ppl wanna hate on her about everything?" she reminded her followers.

“Like, obviously framing this,” she gushed in her Instagram Story. “Beyond shook. Beyond spiraling. Did I smell the paper? Yes! Do I want my own monogram? Yes. Am I absolutely flabbergasted and obsessed. F**k. YES.”

Since its March 4 premiere, 'With Love, Meghan' has been a major hit, climbing Netflix’s Top 10 lists in both the US and the UK. In an exclusive PEOPLE interview, Meghan revealed that the show "is about doing what you can do and doing it with love."

Meghan shared with PEOPLE that the inspiration behind the show and its title was actually recommended by a friend who visited her on set.

“Their takeaway was they were so happy to see me as myself. She said, ‘It’s like your love letter to all the things you’ve loved to do, and if you’re signing off a love letter, it’s “With love, Meghan,'”
