Duchess’s Lifestyle Project Faces Uncertainty Amid Streaming Challenges
Meghan Markle’s much-anticipated Netflix culinary and lifestyle series may be in jeopardy, as whispers from industry insiders suggest the project is stalled with no release date in sight.
The show, rumoured to celebrate cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship, was expected to align with Meghan’s budding lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, which has teased products like jams and dog biscuits. However, despite nearly a year of speculation, no updates have been announced, leaving fans wondering about its fate.
A Netflix insider reportedly told MailOnline that Meghan’s ambitious venture "may not see the light of day," casting uncertainty on whether her vision will ever materialise. This comes as pressure mounts on the Duchess to deliver a successful project following recent setbacks.
Industry experts describe the series as a potential "make or break" moment for Meghan and Prince Harry’s streaming ambitions. The couple’s Polo documentary, released earlier this month, was met with lukewarm reception and criticised for focusing on "the playground of the rich."
A source close to Netflix suggested the streaming giant is growing wary, warning, "After recent flops, there likely won’t be another deal beyond occasional one-offs."
Despite the challenges, some insiders believe Meghan’s lifestyle show could still move forward if it provides a boost to American Riviera Orchard. However, the Duchess’s plans to establish a TV empire appear increasingly uncertain as doubts loom over the project’s future.
For now, the fate of Meghan’s Netflix venture remains unclear, leaving fans and critics alike to question whether the Sussexes can regain their footing in the competitive world of streaming content.
