Meghan Markle is reportedly facing difficulties in retaining a chef for her new Netflix culinary series.
Allegedly, her off-putting behavior has driven away top-tier culinary experts. Recently, Roy Rogue on YouTube broke the news that Meghan has canceled the cooking show, information not yet published elsewhere. The series was intended to focus on cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship, but Meghan's discomfort in the kitchen and her micromanaging tendencies led to its downfall. Prince Harry's successful screen test hinted at a possible switch in hosts, which likely prompted Meghan to cancel the show herself.
This isn't the first time Meghan has struggled to deliver on her promises. Recall the termination of her Spotify deal, after which Bill Simmons labeled her and Harry "effing grifters." Following that fiasco, Meghan attempted to secure a contract with Audible, Amazon's podcast arm, but ended up with Lemonada Media, a relatively unknown company. Although this might have been good publicity for Lemonada, typical Meghan grabbed the headlines, made grand promises, and then delivered nothing. Soon after the deal was announced, Meghan claimed she was too busy to create content for them due to filming a cooking show for Netflix. Without producing anything for Lemonada, she pushed her obligations to 2025. Lemonada likely didn't pay her upfront, especially after witnessing her flop with Spotify, probably opting for a pay-as-you-go arrangement.
This pattern of over-promising and under-delivering is well-documented. Meghan often fails to follow through because she is perceived as inherently lazy and believes her mere presence will make things happen. Creating content, brands, and companies takes hard work, something Meghan appears not up for due to a sense of entitlement. Reports suggest that she wasn't even filming at the Montecito mansion but at someone else's property, which also had a cannabis farm. Harry must be thrilled, but will this cooking show ever see the light of day given Meghan's history? It's doubtful.
Meghan was once slated to march on Washington with Gloria Steinem, but it didn't happen. She intended to champion parental leave, resulting only in some letters to Senators. The 40x40 mentorship scheme flopped, and her Spotify content amounted to just one underwhelming series. Her children's book, "The Bench," received poor reviews, and her Netflix content has been minimal at best. How many episodes have been filmed? Is Meghan actually cooking, or is someone else doing the hard work while she talks about ingredients? Her track record isn't encouraging, suggesting the show won't be broadcast.
Furthermore, the cooking show was meant to cross-sell her American Riviera Orchard brand, showcasing products like branded rolling pins and bowls. However, American Riviera Orchard is floundering—no CEO, no launch date, no products—just an Instagram account with some jars of jam and lemons. The show looks pointless, and Netflix executives will likely cancel it, seeing no value in promoting a non-existent brand. Meghan's entitlement and laziness, driven by narcissism, will probably ensure this cooking show is another no-show.
In summary, Meghan Markle's cooking show was doomed from the start. Her pattern of over-promising and under-delivering, combined with her perceived inherent laziness and sense of entitlement, means this cooking show is unlikely to air. Meghan's belief that her mere presence will make things happen is delusional. Creating content, brands, and companies takes hard work, something she isn't willing to put in. Like many of her previous projects, the cooking show will likely never see the light of day. Netflix executives will probably cancel it, realizing there's no value in promoting a non-existent brand. Meghan's narcissism and laziness will ensure this cooking show is another no-go.
