Yet again, another respected figure has called out Meghan Markle for her relentless pretentiousness.
This time, it’s none other than the acclaimed chef Richard Corrigan—a man who has cooked for the royal family and understands class, authenticity, and real food. Unlike Meghan’s latest attempt to squeeze more money out of her Netflix deal with a so-called cookery and lifestyle show, which has about as much authenticity as a microwavable meal claiming to be homemade, Corrigan isn’t afraid to say what many are thinking.
In his trademark straightforward Irish manner, the chef put it bluntly: "With love, Meghan is a bit pretentious." That’s a rather polite way of saying her latest project is just another self-indulgent, influencer-style vanity endeavor. According to Corrigan, the entire production oozes California-Hollywood artificiality—miles away from Britain’s genuine culture. And honestly, who can argue with that? If there’s one thing Meghan has mastered, it’s the ability to present a glossy, carefully curated, and completely contrived version of reality while pretending she’s just like everyone else.
Corrigan didn’t stop at critiquing the show. He also pointed out how Harry and Meghan have been nothing but an added strain on King Charles, who is battling cancer. Instead of offering support, they continue their usual routine—playing the victims while profiting from their royal connections. The chef even likened them to Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, though that comparison is perhaps too generous. At least Edward had the dignity to step away and live in exile without monetizing his grievances at every opportunity.
But Corrigan had even more to say about Meghan’s constant pursuit of attention. “I don’t think anyone likes people doing cheap TV,” he remarked. And he’s absolutely right—this isn’t about food or culture; it’s just another low-effort, high-gloss production with nothing of substance behind it. If Meghan truly wanted to leave royal life behind, she could have done so quietly. Instead, she clings to the spotlight while simultaneously complaining about how unfairly she has been treated. It’s the same tired routine, playing on repeat.
The most telling moment? Corrigan, a man who cooked for the Queen without expecting a paycheck, made it clear that while he wouldn’t turn Meghan away from his restaurant, she certainly wouldn’t receive any special treatment. When a celebrated chef subtly shades you by implying you lack the grace and dignity of true royalty, it’s a sure sign that your carefully crafted illusion is crumbling.
But let’s be honest—none of this is surprising. Meghan’s entire public persona is built on a facade. This so-called cooking show isn’t about cooking at all. It’s just another influencer-style spectacle, designed to showcase her supposedly fabulous life rather than provide anything of real value. The kind of content that clutters TikTok and YouTube, masquerading as meaningful while offering nothing but empty aesthetics. It’s not a cooking show, not even a proper lifestyle program—just another platform for Meghan to indulge in her own delusions of grandeur.
She has no charm, no wit, no talent, and certainly no business being on television. And now, at last, more people are beginning to say it out loud. The best part? She can’t sue the world for telling the truth. Chef Corrigan, we salute you.
