Meghan Markle's New Cookery Show Faces High Stakes After Previous Netflix Flops

Following a series of unsuccessful Netflix endeavors, Meghan Markle is under pressure with her upcoming cooking show, "With Love, Meghan." Scheduled to debut on January 15, a trailer featuring Markle cooking and hosting with celebrity friends was released recently, coinciding with her return to Instagram after a lengthy break since marrying Prince Harry.

Royal commentator Lettice Bromovsky expressed that this show needs to resonate with audiences, stating it has a distinctly "American" feel that might not appeal universally. She noted that this project represents a crucial opportunity for Markle, especially given the significant £100 million Netflix deal and the disappointing reception faced by her previous ventures, including the critically panned polo documentary and the cancellation of her podcast series.

Bromovsky also pointed out the timing of the trailer's release, critiquing it as "tone deaf" due to its debut following a tragic New Year's Day attack in New Orleans. She remarked that, amidst the sorrow and political changes occurring in America, the focus on Markle’s seemingly perfect life could be viewed unfavorably by those impacted by current events.
