Meghan Markle releases trailer for Netflix Christmas special<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Meghan Markle\u2019s<\/a> holiday episode has just landed on Netflix<\/a>, yet celebrity chef Jameson Stocks<\/a> was far from dazzled by the shimmering festive debut. The chef, who has cooked for King Charles,<\/a> and was recently honoured with a King\u2019s Trust award, did not hold back in his scathing assessment when the Express<\/a> asked for his verdict.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jameson, known for his no-nonsense standards in the kitchen<\/a>, didn\u2019t mince his words as he dismissed the episode as dull, questioned Meghan\u2019s foodie credentials and even implied viewers only stay tuned in the hope Prince Harry<\/a> might appear. From the very first moment, he says the feeling of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu was immediate – and far from flattering.<\/a><\/p>\n

The chef shared: \u201cIt\u2019s the same old, dull routine. A sluggish, predictable episode stretching the previous season\u2019s boredom, filled with pointless name-dropping and meaningless recipe<\/a> segments.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cHonestly, I think viewers only stick around to catch a glimpse of Prince Harry at the end – who inexplicably wanders into someone else\u2019s kitchen and suddenly appears behind her at the stove,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

And according to Jameson, Meghan\u2019s on-screen kitchen style is less \u201cDuchess Domesticity\u201d and more \u201cculinary chaos\u201d.<\/p>\n

Jameson didn\u2019t hold back as he criticised the former Suits<\/a> star, warning that she \u201cshould stay far away from the kitchen.\u201d<\/p>\n

The chef said he was left appalled by her gourmet attempts and hygiene standards, explaining, \u201cFrankly she said she would remove the Goug\u00e8res from the baking mat to halt the cooking, but instead, she piled them on top of each other \u2013 an absolute no-no.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He added that the basics were still amiss: \u201cTo make matters worse, they were still cold when they came out of the oven. Meanwhile, she made a mess mixing the chocolate while wearing her expensive jewellery and then proceeded to taste it with her fingers.\u201d<\/p>\n

And as for the festive tips, Meghan says viewers can try at home, but Stocks wasn\u2019t convinced. \u201cI think her cooking tips are as pointless as the cooking tips in previous season – doing a wreath out of green vegetables took me over the edge in tackiness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite Meghan\u2019s frequent assertions that she\u2019s confident in the kitchen, Jameson argues the footage tells a very different story. \u201cYou have to remember this episode was filmed last year. She may be somewhat of a foodie and enjoy food, but I don\u2019t think she should have a platform to show people such crap.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also questioned why the series is even categorised the way it is, slamming the streaming giant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jameson continued, \u201cNetflix<\/a> lists this series under their food and travel category, but I don\u2019t understand the travel aspect. Is it because she\u2019s cooking in a stranger\u2019s home?\u201d<\/p>\n

They also describe it as relaxing and feel-good, but honestly, that feels like blatant lies. It should be labelled as torturous and frustrating instead of trying to sugarcoat it – I just think to myself, what a waste of money Netflix spent here.\u201d<\/p>\n

The chef now suspects Meghan may be leaning into the chaos deliberately. \u201cHaving watched her cooking methods and unorthodox style should we say I am actually starting to believe that she does it like that just to spark a public reaction for talking points,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Jameson Stocks’s final verdict:<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
\n

When asked what advice he\u2019d give Meghan if she insists on continuing the series, he delivered a final, cutting review of her multi-million-dollar venture.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best advice I can offer her is to stay true to herself. Throughout the episodes I\u2019ve watched, she has often come across as insincere and naive. The overly formulaic persona and poor-quality content on such a platform is shocking.”<\/p>\n

He added: “The Meghan project on Netflix has been a complete failure. From terrible ratings and negative reviews to the fact that not even featuring top chefs and personalities could save the show, her personality and so-called star power is obviously not as strong as she thinks.”<\/p>\n

“Netflix seems to be distancing itself from her and her brand. This has been a $100 million flop. Even in the final moments, when she\u2019s celebrating the crew, it feels contrived and forced, making me, and I\u2019m sure others, uncomfortable to watch – somebody might say this is a long drawn out goodbye from her Netflix deal, but I am 100% sure she\u2019s going to pop up again on another platform in the near future reinvented\u2026 the question is will it be any good? Because it can\u2019t be as bad as this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
