In a surprising twist, a source close to Netflix has revealed that Meghan Markle might not be the culinary star she portrays on her new cooking show.
This insider claims that Meghan struggled with fundamental kitchen tasks, relying on off-camera help to create her seemingly effortless dishes.
While she may not be as inept as Brooklyn Beckham in the kitchen, the insider described her performance as robotic and lacking authenticity.
It seems that Meghan’s approach to cooking is more about maintaining an image of elitism rather than genuinely engaging with the craft.
The source suggests that her efforts come off as contrived, almost like she’s too good to actually get her hands dirty.
Instead of showcasing her culinary prowess, it feels more like a masterclass in how to instruct a chef on preparing her meals.
If Meghan truly wants to connect with viewers on her food show, she might need to embrace a different angle.
Imagine if she turned every episode into a chaotic spectacle, akin to a disastrous burger challenge—messy and unappetizing, yet oddly captivating.
Such a reality show could attract more viewers than a low-budget imitation of Martha Stewart.
Alternatively, Meghan could scrap the polished persona altogether and channel her inner Gordon Ramsay.
Picture her yelling at kitchen staff, tossing food aside, and delivering scathing critiques.
This raw, unfiltered approach could resonate with audiences, making for the most genuine cooking show yet.
And why not throw Prince Harry into the mix?
His presence could add a humorous dynamic, especially if Meghan playfully insults him while he awkwardly navigates the kitchen.
Following the announcement of her upcoming Netflix series, Meghan has drawn comparisons to Brooklyn Beckham, who also dipped his toes into the culinary world.
The show aims to celebrate cooking, gardening, entertainment, and friendship.
Additionally, Meghan and Harry are set to produce a series centered around competitive polo, leveraging their collaboration with the streaming giant.
However, skepticism looms over Meghan’s culinary aspirations.
Charlotte Griffiths, editor of Mel on Sunday, likened her to Beckham, suggesting that both are venturing into territory where their royal connections play a significant role.
Griffiths candidly questioned who would tune in to a cooking show featuring Meghan Markle if she hadn’t married into royalty.
Reflecting on Meghan’s previous culinary endeavors, Griffiths recalled a particularly dull segment where she demonstrated how to make toast.
“Watching that was like watching paint dry,” Griffiths remarked, emphasizing that Meghan lacks a strong track record in the cooking arena.
She humorously suggested that Meghan and Beckham should collaborate, predicting the outcome would be painfully cringeworthy.
Despite acknowledging Meghan’s enjoyment of cooking as a hobby, Griffiths pointed out that she isn’t known for her culinary passion.
This new venture might be an attempt to soften her public image, but Griffiths believes that being ambitious isn’t inherently negative.
In fact, she noted that Meghan has previously tried to project a softer side, recalling her controversial banana art from a few years back.
While Meghan did engage in charitable cooking projects, including a cookbook for Grenfell, Griffiths expressed skepticism about the sincerity of this “gentle Meghan” persona.
She argued that the public knows Meghan as someone who is tough, ambitious, and relentless.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with these traits, but they clash with the softer image she seems to be trying to convey.
