Meghan Markle’s Cooking Show Cooks Up Trouble
In a surprising turn of events, Meghan Markle has reportedly pulled the plug on her much-anticipated cooking show for Netflix.
This culinary venture was supposed to showcase not just cooking, but also gardening, entertaining, and the importance of friendship.
However, it seems that Meghan's struggles in the kitchen and her tendency to micromanage have led to its unfortunate cancellation.
The news broke via YouTube channel Roy Rogue, which claims to have the inside scoop on this developing story.
Sources suggest that Meghan's behavior has been a significant factor in driving away top-notch culinary talent.
Despite her high-profile status, it appears that her discomfort in the kitchen created an unwelcoming atmosphere for chefs.
This latest setback follows a pattern of disappointments in Meghan's professional life, raising questions about her ability to deliver on ambitious projects.
Interestingly, Harry's successful screen test for the show hinted at a potential shift in hosting duties, which may have prompted Meghan to act preemptively by canceling the project herself.
This move aligns with her history of seeking the spotlight but failing to follow through on commitments.
Many still remember when her Spotify deal ended abruptly, with Bill Simmons famously labeling her and Harry as “effing grifters.”
After the Spotify fallout, Meghan attempted to secure a new podcast contract with Audible but ultimately settled for a deal with Lemonada Media, a relatively unknown company.
While this partnership might have garnered some attention for Lemonada, it also exemplified Meghan's trend of making grand promises without delivering results.
Shortly after the deal was announced, she claimed to be too busy filming her cooking show for Netflix, pushing her obligations to Lemonada back to 2025.
This pattern of over-promising and under-delivering has become all too familiar.
It raises concerns about whether Meghan is genuinely committed to her projects or simply riding the wave of publicity.
With Lemonada likely opting for a pay-as-you-go arrangement due to her previous failures, it's evident that organizations are becoming wary of her track record.
The cooking show was initially seen as a chance for Meghan to finally make a mark in the culinary world, but reports indicate that filming took place at a different property, which even included a cannabis farm.
This detail only adds to the skepticism surrounding the show's viability.
Will it ever air?
Given her history of abandoned projects—from her plans to march with Gloria Steinem to her underwhelming children's book, “The Bench”—the odds seem slim.
Moreover, the cooking show was intended to promote her brand, American Riviera Orchard, which has yet to launch any products or even appoint a CEO.
Currently, it exists merely as an Instagram account showcasing jars of jam and lemons.
Without a tangible brand to cross-sell, the cooking show loses its purpose, making it even less likely to attract interest from Netflix executives.
With no episodes filmed and no evidence of Meghan actually engaging in the cooking process, doubts continue to mount.
Is she merely talking about ingredients while someone else does the heavy lifting?
Her history suggests that this project, like many others, might never see the light of day.
As the dust settles on this latest debacle, it becomes increasingly clear that Meghan's cooking show was perhaps doomed from the start.
Her combination of entitlement, lack of commitment, and a misguided belief that her celebrity status alone will drive success paints a grim picture for future endeavors.
Netflix insiders are likely to reassess the value of promoting a brand that doesn't exist, further signaling that Meghan's cooking show could very well join the ranks of her other unfulfilled projects.
As the world watches, it remains to be seen if Meghan can turn her luck around or if this will simply be another chapter in her saga of missed opportunities.
