Reports have surfaced indicating that Meghan Markle‘s much-anticipated cooking show for Netflix has been scrapped.
Sources reveal that the Duchess of Sussex struggled to keep a chef on board, with her behavior allegedly driving away top culinary talent.
The show was set to highlight cooking, gardening, and entertaining, but it seems Meghan’s discomfort in the kitchen and her tendency to micromanage proved too much for everyone involved.
In a twist that has caught many off guard, YouTube channel Roy Rogue broke the news of the cancellation, which hasn’t been reported anywhere else.
Speculation is rife that Meghan’s decision was influenced by her husband Prince Harry‘s successful screen test, which hinted at a possible host switch.
It’s a familiar narrative: Meghan captures the spotlight but fails to deliver.
This isn’t the first time Meghan has faced setbacks in her media ventures.
Remember when her Spotify deal fell apart?
Bill Simmons famously called her and Harry “effing grifters” after the termination.
Following that debacle, Meghan attempted to secure a contract with Audible but ended up partnering with Lemonada Media, a relatively obscure company.
While this may have generated some buzz for Lemonada, it showcased Meghan’s pattern of making big promises without following through.
Shortly after the Lemonada deal was announced, Meghan claimed she was too busy to produce content for them due to her work on the cooking show.
Yet, her obligations to Lemonada were pushed back to 2025, raising eyebrows about her commitment.
It’s likely that Lemonada opted for a pay-as-you-go arrangement, especially after witnessing her struggles with Spotify.
This trend of over-promising and under-delivering seems to be a hallmark of Meghan’s career.
Critics argue that her lack of follow-through stems from a sense of entitlement and an assumption that her presence alone will suffice.
However, creating meaningful content requires dedication and hard work—qualities that seem to elude her.
Initially, there were hopes that the cooking show would mark a turning point for Meghan.
Reports indicated that filming was taking place not at her Montecito mansion, but at another property, which interestingly included a cannabis farm.
One can only wonder if Harry is excited about this unconventional setting.
But will the show ever air?
Given Meghan’s track record, the odds are slim.
Her ambitious plans often fall flat.
For instance, she was supposed to march on Washington with Gloria Steinem, but that never materialized.
Her initiative advocating for parental leave resulted in little more than letters to senators.
The 40×40 mentorship scheme also fizzled out, while her Spotify content consisted of one lackluster series.
Even her children’s book, “The Bench,” failed to impress.
As for the cooking show, questions abound.
How many episodes were filmed?
Is Meghan genuinely cooking, or is someone else doing the heavy lifting while she simply chats about ingredients?
With her history of underachievement, skepticism is warranted regarding whether this project will ever see the light of day.
Moreover, the cooking show was intended to promote her American Riviera Orchard brand, featuring products like custom rolling pins and bowls.
However, that venture appears to be in disarray, lacking a CEO, launch date, or even tangible products.
Currently, it exists as little more than an Instagram account filled with jars of jam and lemons.
With no brand to cross-sell, the cooking show may lack purpose.
Netflix executives are likely to recognize this and might decide it’s not worth promoting a project tied to a non-existent brand.
Meghan’s combination of entitlement and laziness, fueled by her narcissism, suggests that this cooking show could very well join the ranks of her other abandoned projects.
The reality is that Meghan Markle’s cooking show was perhaps doomed from the start.
Her consistent failure to deliver, coupled with an apparent lack of willingness to put in the necessary effort, makes it unlikely that this show will ever air.
As history has shown, her belief that her mere presence will drive success is misguided.
This cooking project, like many before it, is likely destined for obscurity.
