In a recent turn of events, a Netflix insider has leaked information revealing that Meghan Markle is not the culinary expert she appears to be on her new cooking show.
According to the source, Meghan struggled with basic kitchen tasks and relied heavily on off-camera assistance to pull off her supposedly effortless dishes. While she may not be as inept at cooking as Brooklyn Beckham, the insider described her as robotic and inauthentic. The reality is that Meghan seems to think she's too elite to actually cook, resulting in efforts that come across as stiff and contrived. It feels more like she's directing a chef on how to prepare meals rather than genuinely engaging in the cooking process herself.
If Meghan wants to attract viewers for a food show, she should stop pretending and embrace her true self. A more entertaining approach could be to make each episode chaotic and humorous, akin to the infamous Men's Health burger fiasco. Though the food might be unappetizing, the spectacle would draw more viewers than a low-budget Martha Stewart act. She could even market it as a unique diet show or ditch the nice act altogether, filming herself yelling at kitchen staff, spitting out food, and causing a ruckus—much like Gordon Ramsay, whose fiery persona has proven popular. Adding Prince Harry into the mix, with Meghan humorously emasculating him, could potentially garner more viewers than all the Housewives shows combined.
After announcing her upcoming Netflix show, Meghan Markle has been compared to Brooklyn Beckham, who also ventured into the culinary scene. The show aims to celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertainment, and friendship. Additionally, Meghan and Prince Harry are set to produce a new series exploring the world of competitive polo, leveraging their partnership with the streaming service. However, Mail on Sunday editor Charlotte Griffiths remains skeptical, likening Meghan to Brooklyn Beckham. She suggested that Meghan's new brand launch, American Riviera Orchard, still relies heavily on her royal connections.
Griffiths told GB News that the idea of Meghan not trading on her royal status is laughable, questioning who would tune into her cooking show if she hadn't married into the royal family. Recalling Meghan’s previous cooking attempt, Griffiths mentioned a show from five years ago where Meghan shared a recipe for toast with ricotta and her grandmother’s favorite jam. The segment, according to Griffiths, was as exciting as watching paint dry, highlighting Meghan's lack of a strong track record in culinary shows. She even suggested a collaboration between Meghan and Brooklyn Beckham, predicting it would be a cringe-worthy experience.
Despite this, Griffiths acknowledged that Meghan enjoys cooking as a hobby but isn’t known as a passionate cook. She speculated that this new venture might be an attempt by Meghan to soften her image, though she agreed that ambition isn’t necessarily negative. Griffiths elaborated, reminding viewers of Meghan’s past attempts to portray a softer side, such as writing motivational words on bananas or contributing to a charity cookbook. However, she remained unconvinced, noting that Meghan’s public persona is ambitious and ruthless, not the gentle figure she tries to portray.
