Meghan Markle is thought to have completed filming on her brand new Netflix cooking series.
She and Prince Harry signed a $100 million five-year deal with the streaming giant, and as part of it this series will "celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship." The show has not been named, but plenty is known about it already.
It is tipped to feature big names in cooking – including Michael Steed, who helped create Anthony Bourdain’s Emmy-winning Parts Unknown. It has also been filmed in at least two locations – a florist in Montecito, California where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex live with their two children, and a lavish $5 million house a few miles from the family home.
Speaking to The Daily Beast, one source said: “It all went well, and it is in the can.” But while filming is thought to have gone well, one critic has already blasted the series.
"It’s apparently going to focus on the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining and friendship – and I’ve gotta say, it sounds bloody awful."
Meanwhile PR consultant and royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told the Mirror: “It runs out next year and Netflix are no longer producing the series of The Crown, as they previously were. They might therefore have less interest in the Sussexes.
“If they lost this contract, with Archewell, their business and charitable foundation, having so few donors, they might well be in financial trouble. Since their exposés of royal life has made megabucks, but little else has made money, the Royal Family better hope that this unpredictable and ruthlessly ambitious couple stays with Netflix.”
