Where do we even start with Meghan Markle’s latest ambitions?
The Duchess of Sussex seems to be aiming for a takeover of America’s lifestyle domain, which is currently dominated by icons like Ina Garten, Martha Stewart, and the ever-popular Joanna Gaines.
Rumors, fueled by Meghan’s own public relations efforts, suggest she’s plotting a significant shift in her career, hoping to dethrone these reigning queens of domesticity.
But let’s be honest here; it appears Meghan’s destined to make headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Sources—who can barely keep a straight face—indicate that the Netflix deal involving Meghan and Prince Harry is hanging by a thread.
In what seems to be a last-ditch effort to fulfill her Hollywood dreams, Meghan is reportedly considering a pivot to become a lifestyle guru.
Yes, you read that correctly.
The Duchess, whose most notable culinary achievement has been a banana bread recipe, now sees herself as the next Gwyneth Paltrow or, bless her heart, Joanna Gaines.
It’s hard not to chuckle at this audacity, especially since Joanna Gaines herself has reportedly found humor in Meghan’s ambitions.
Attempting to revive her previously abandoned blog, The Tig, Meghan aims to challenge the heavyweights of home decor and culinary arts on their own turf.
And how does she plan to do this?
By taking advice from high-end fashion designers and makeup moguls, of course!
Because nothing screams “relatable domestic goddess” quite like mingling with Beverly Hills elites.
In a recent episode of “Meghan Pretends to Cook,” she showcased her skills in preparing traditional Afghan cuisine.
This move was intended to convey a message of relatability: “Look at me, I’m just like you!” Yet, the reality is somewhat different when you consider her royal title and lavish Montecito mansion.
Hollywood insiders are having a good laugh over this, noting that Meghan’s version of being relatable is about as genuine as a three-dollar bill.
Experts in the lifestyle industry are weighing in, emphasizing that authenticity and openness are crucial ingredients for success in this field—qualities that Meghan and Harry have been notoriously selective about sharing.
While they’ve offered glimpses into their lives through a Netflix docuseries and Oprah interviews, true lifestyle royalty requires more than just curated snapshots of their opulent living spaces and emotional stories.
Let’s not ignore the elephant in the room, either.
Meghan’s plans to monetize the Sussex brand include everything from cookware to yoga mats adorned with the royal coat of arms.
Because nothing embodies yoga zen quite like practicing on a mat that represents a monarchy she’s tried to distance herself from in recent years.
When it comes to her fashion aspirations, Meghan’s track record has seen more misses than hits.
Critics and Netflix executives alike have taken note of her attempts to become a fashion icon, often leaving the public scratching their heads at her choices.
It raises the question: is there anything she won’t try to cash in on?
In a twist that could only happen in Meghan’s world, discussions are circulating about leveraging her unique status for a lifestyle empire that no one exactly asked for.
However, the adage rings true: you can’t polish a turd.
Her foray into the lifestyle sector is shaping up to be less of a success story and more of a cautionary tale—a stark reminder that not everything that glitters is gold, especially when it carries a royal seal.
As Meghan continues to plot her takeover of the lifestyle realm, one can’t help but wonder if she might be better off leaving cooking, decorating, and life advice to the professionals.
After all, while reality TV offers plenty of cameras, not all attention is beneficial.
It seems our duchess is determined to learn this lesson the hard way.
