Meghan Markle releases trailer for Netflix’s Christmas special
Meghan Markle’s holiday episode recently landed on Netflix, but the celebrity chef Jameson Stocks They were far from dazzled by the glittering start of the festival. The chef, who has cooked for King Charles and was recently awarded a King’s Trust award, did not hold back with his harsh assessment when the Express asked for his verdict.
Jameson, who is known for his no-nonsense standards in the kitchen, dismissed the episode as boring, questioned Meghan’s foodie credentials and even hinted that viewers only stayed tuned in the hope of Prince Harry showing up. From the very first moment, he says, the feeling of déjà vu was immediate and not flattering at all.
The chef shared: “It’s the same old, boring routine. A slow, predictable episode full of pointless name-dropping and pointless recipe segments that prolong the boredom of the previous season.”

“Honestly, I think viewers stuck around just to see Prince Harry at the end, when he inexplicably walks into someone else’s kitchen and suddenly appears behind her on the stove.” he added.
According to Jameson, Meghan’s on-screen kitchen style is less “Duchess Domesticity” and more “kitchen chaos.”
Jameson did not hold back in criticizing the former Suits star, warning that she “should stay out of the kitchen.”
The chef said he was appalled by the gourmet efforts and hygiene standards: “Obviously he said he was going to remove the Gougères from the baking mat to stop the cooking but instead he piled them on top of each other; a definite no-no.”

She added that the basics were still missing: “To make matters worse, they were still cold when they came out of the oven. Meanwhile, while she was wearing her expensive jewellery, she stirred the chocolate and then started tasting it with her fingers.”
As for festive tips, Meghan says viewers can try it at home, but Stocks isn’t convinced. “I think her cooking tips are just as pointless as her cooking tips from the previous season; making a wreath of green veggies pushed me over the edge on tackiness.”
Although Meghan has often stated that she is confident in the kitchen, Jameson argues that the images tell a very different story. “You have to remember that this episode was filmed last year. She may be a bit of a foodie and enjoys food, but I don’t think she should have a platform to show people that kind of nonsense.”
He also criticized the streaming giant, questioning why the series was categorized this way.

Jameson continued, “Netflix lists this series under the food and travel category, but I don’t understand the travel aspect. Is it because it’s cooking at a stranger’s house?”
They also describe it as relaxing and feel-good, but honestly, that feels like a blatant lie. It should be labeled as torturous and frustrating rather than glossed over. “I think to myself how much money Netflix is wasting here.”
The chief now suspects that Meghan was deliberately driven into chaos. “Should I say that after watching his cooking methods and unorthodox style, I’m starting to believe that he’s actually doing this just to get a public reaction for his talking points?” he shared.

Jameson Stocks’ final verdict:
When asked what advice he would give Meghan if she insists on continuing with the series, he offered a final, telling assessment of his multi-million dollar venture.
“The best advice I can give her is to stay true to herself. Throughout the episodes I’ve watched, she has often come across as insincere and naive. The overly stereotypical personality and poor quality content on a platform like this is shocking.”
He added: “The Meghan project on Netflix has been a complete failure. From terrible ratings and negative reviews to the fact that even the absence of top chefs and personalities couldn’t save the show, her personality and so-called star power is clearly not as strong as she thought.”
“Netflix seems to be moving away from itself and its brand. This has been a $100 million debacle. Even in the final moments where it celebrates the team, it feels stilted and forced, which makes me, and I’m sure others, uncomfortable watching it – one might say it’s a long farewell from the Netflix deal, but I’m 100% sure it will reinvent itself on another platform in the near future… the question is: will it be anything good? Because it can’t be that bad.”
