Meghan Markle has many passions in life — and she has decided to build an empire around them.
Prince Harry feels more comfortable doing charity-related events and businesses. In contrast, Markle has launched a lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, a testament to her dedication and creativity.
Markle has partnered with Netflix to launch a cooking show around the brand. ARO has encountered many obstacles, including trademark issues, a lack of high-profile staff, and missed opportunities to launch many products.
Markle’s cookery show is facing some challenges on its own. According to The New York Post and The Daily Mail, Markle wrapped up filming in April, and there has yet to be a title, release date, or trailer.
Many were hoping that the show would premiere just in time for the year-end holidays — Thanksgiving and Christmas — but everything surrounding the project remains a mystery.
The shyness and silence clouding the show have led some of Prince Harry’s friends to mock Markle and insult her intelligence as a businesswoman and entertainer.
Pals of the royals spoke to NewsNation to say that Markle needed to be more knowledgeable about this adventure.
The friends revealed: “She doesn’t know what she’s doing; she may have shot some episodes for Netflix on her cooking show — but who wants to watch her cooking in a ballgown and an impossibly expensive house? And she still doesn’t have a CEO or anyone to head up that venture. I wouldn’t be shocked if Netflix ends up dropping it — they pull a lot of things they’ve spent money on and preshot.”
However, sources via Yahoo and The Daily Beast explained that Markle was extremely comfortable in front of the camera as she showed off her cooking skills and passion for entertaining friends and guests.
A source revealed: “Meghan really enjoyed being back in front of the camera. She was totally in her element, demonstrating her skills in the kitchen and sharing tips on how to be the perfect hostess.”
A PR guru added: “The series will provide a glimpse of her softer side as it celebrates the joys of cooking and entertaining friends. She has gone from a woman with political ambition to making jam, so it will be great for viewers to get an inside track of her passions.”
The secret to the cooking show’s success is for Markle to be imperfect, messy, and down to earth. This approach is designed to help her connect with millions of viewers who are eager to get tips and suggestions on how to be a great and fun host.
It should be a show that aims to make viewers feel included. Many predict that is the route she will take to make millions on Netflix.
