Meghan Markle has reportedly been dealt disappointing news about her highly anticipated Netflix cooking series With Love, Meghan, coinciding with celebrations for Kate Middleton’s 43rd birthday.
The Duchess of Sussex, known for her previous collaborations with the streaming giant, is now facing harsh predictions about her new show’s success. British journalist Kevin O'Sullivan did not hold back in his assessment of the project, sharing a scathing critique while appearing on the Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered podcast.
O'Sullivan dismissed Markle’s forthcoming series as “pathetic” and “boring,” predicting a lackluster response from viewers. The show, slated to premiere on January 15, features Meghan baking with friends in California, accompanied by glamorous designer accessories. In a blunt commentary, O'Sullivan remarked, “This is the 'new Meghan' she wants the world to see, but what she's offering is uninspired at best. A show where she bakes cakes, decked out in Cartier jewelry and flashy outfits, is hardly groundbreaking television.”
He further elaborated on why he believes the series is destined to underperform: “In the world of entertainment, creating engaging, successful content requires one key element—captivating storytelling. This show simply lacks that. It’s tedious, unimaginative, and frankly, it’s not going to capture the public’s interest. It will fail because it’s boring, plain and simple.”
While Meghan faces critiques about her latest venture, across the pond, the Duchess of Cambridge enjoys a more joyous occasion. Kate Middleton celebrated her milestone birthday with a private gathering alongside Prince William, their children, and close family members.
According to insider reports, the Prince of Wales has planned a romantic evening to mark his wife’s special day. The celebration comes at the end of a challenging year for the royal couple, as it was previously revealed that Kate faced a health scare involving a cancer diagnosis. Despite the hardships, sources say the couple has grown stronger together, and William is determined to make this birthday especially memorable for his beloved wife.
The contrasting headlines for Meghan and Kate highlight the differing paths the two women have taken post-Megxit, with one embarking on ambitious media projects while the other remains firmly rooted in her royal duties and family life. Only time will tell if Meghan’s Netflix endeavor will resonate with audiences or be relegated to the sidelines as another failed venture.
