Meghan Markle’s Netflix Cooking Show Doesn’t Have Any Actual Recipes

Meghan Markle’s new show for Netflix is a “magical and beautiful guide to hosting and entertaining,” a source has said, but does not include any actual recipes.

Instead the show, entitled With Love, Meghan, is focused on “inspiration” and features Meghan entertaining her celebrity friends.

The eight-part show, due to stream on March 4 after being postponed from its initial January launch date because of the L.A. fires, includes only brief glimpses of Prince Harry as the couple attempts to cement the separation of their professional brands. The couple’s children are not shown.

A source who has seen several episodes of the new show told the Daily Mail: “There is no point at which Meghan says, ‘Take 200 grams of flour,’ or anything like that.

“It’s a very magical and beautiful guide to hosting and entertaining rather than a how-to cookery show. It’s about inspiration – more like, ‘Why not try and make this kind of pasta or this kind of dessert.’ Harry isn’t in it. It’s all her, and all about her. It’s very watchable.”

Netflix has previously said the show “blends practical how-tos and candid conversation with friends, new and old.”

The show comes at a critical time for Harry and Meghan, once heralded as Netflix’s golden duo who promised “content that informs but also gives hope” through a “truthful and relatable lens.”

But the couple are now struggling to remain relevant and their Netflix contract is understood to be up for renewal this fall.

The couple delivered one smash hit docuseries, Harry & Meghan, however its success was widely attributed to the sensational revelations and viperous allegations they made against the royal family.

Since then the couple’s productions have struggled, with a series about the sport of polo fronted by Harry a notable failure.

Harry reportedly came up with a series of madcap ideas for shows, including one where he interviewed “psychopaths” such as Vladimir Putin.

In what many saw as a bad omen for their contract renewal negotiations, Harry and Meghan were recently mocked in front of Netflix bosses at the streamer’s annual event launching their 2025 season of shows, with comedian John Mulaney joking about his new unscripted chat show: “This is a really fun experiment. Not since Harry and Meghan has Netflix given more money to someone without a specific plan.”

Last year amid the failure of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s five-part documentary about polo, sources told the Daily Mail that Netflix executives were “exhausted” from working with Markle.

Meghan has activated a long-dormant Instagram account as she has sought to increase engagement ahead of the show’s launch but the three clips she has posted so far have prompted widespread mockery and derision.

In the most recent clip, she filmed herself boasting excitedly about having obtained a Billy Eilish t-shirt for a teenager whose family’s entire house was reduced to ash in the recent L.A. fires.
