Go ahead, Martha! There’s a new domestic goddess in town, and she’s ready to change the way Americans make dinner!
Yes, Meghan Markle is officially bringing her cooking skills to Netflix.
Earlier today, the Duchess posted the first trailer for her long-rumored lifestyle series, With love, Meghan,
“I’m so excited to share this with you! I hope you love this show as much as I loved making it. Wishing you all a wonderful New Year!” Meghan captioned the photo.
“Thank you to our amazing crew and the @netflix team. So grateful for the support – and fun! As always, Meghan.
As we previously reported, Meghan returned to Instagram on New Year’s Day after a nearly five-year hiatus.
Her first post hinted at big things in the near future, as a short video clip showed the Duchess of Sussex strutting on the beach and writing “2025” in the sand before shooting a quick smile at the camera.
Now we know Meghan already knew Absolutely How she wanted to leave her mark in the coming year.
Is Meghan hoping to return?
However, we don’t know if there is any truth to the rumors of an actual feud between Meghan and Martha Stewart. But it’s clear that Meg has got a lot going on in this project.
To put it bluntly, 2024 was not good at all for his career.
Meghan’s Spotify podcast was canceled after just one season, and new polls indicate that Meghan and husband Prince Harry are less popular than ever.
The Sussexes signed a lucrative deal with Netflix in 2020, but so far, the partnership has failed to deliver the desired results for the streaming giant.
The recent, Harry- and Meghan-produced documentary polo It debuted with poor reviews and minimal viewership.
Worse, the series led to accusations that Harry and Meghan are too privileged and out of touch to create content that will appeal to the general public.
And if the comments on today’s trailer are any indication, YouTube users largely share that sentiment.
One viewer wrote, “Netflix, when will you learn…”.
“Please do a show exactly like this but with the real OG – Martha Stewart,” said another.
“Let’s all gather around the kitchen island and pretend this woman is the poster child for healing, connection, and community. I feel so warm and fluffy! Maybe it’s heartburn after this poor basic meal. He served and we didn’t say thank you,” chimed in a third.
A fourth commenter pointed to allegations that Meghan had bullied members of her staff at Kensington Palace, writing:
“Shrink, squirm, squirm. I can’t even finish watching the clip. Meghan is definitely the most insincere person I have ever seen. I feel sorry for the staff he threatened.”
Needless to say, Meghan will have a lot to overcome if she hopes to rebuild her public image in 2025.
But considering the amount of vitriol and unfair criticism she’s had to endure since she started dating Harry, we’re sure she’s up to the challenge.
