Meghan Markle's followers took to social media to discuss her favorite artists, which included music by Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Etta James.
"Her playlist is EXACTLY what you think it would be," one person wrote on X. "More try hard pick me music-she wants you to think her music taste is elevated and refined and that you couldn't understand the complexities of her preferences so just listen."

Another person hinted at Thomas Markle's influence on Meghan Markle.
"I always felt that a lot of her 'Boomer' music choices were informed by her father, T M Snr," they claimed.

"She is trying so hard to make 'cozy' her branding word… its so cringe," another claimed.
"She is a boomer," someone else wrote.

Despite Meghan Markle's use of modern classics like Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You," some people noticed a few pop icons were missing from the list.
"No Taylor [Swift] or Beyoncé? Every video she makes has songs that are lovely in their own way but most are decades old (even Wham!)," one person penned. "Why is a self-proclaimed modern feminist playing songs like she's a 1950s housewife?"

Another person noted that Meghan Markle's playlist isn't for kids.
"She's supposed to have small children. Where are the children's Christmas songs? 'Frosty The Snowman,' 'Rudolf The Red Nosed Reindeer?'" they asked.
