Meghan Markle is back in the headlines, and this time, it’s for donning an apron in her upcoming Netflix show, *With Love, Meghan*. Promising to get her hands dirty in the kitchen alongside the iconic chef Alice Waters, Meghan’s venture into the culinary world has sparked quite the buzz. But here’s the twist: rumors suggest that the “cooking” might have been more acting than action. Surprised? Let’s unpack the online gossip.
Allegedly, Alice Waters, the queen of farm-to-table cuisine, has been credited with spilling some not-so-organic tea about Meghan’s culinary skills. According to viral YouTube videos, Waters reportedly exposed Meghan for not actually cooking during the show. The claims paint a less-than-flattering picture: Meghan struggling with basic tasks, needing guidance for simple instructions, and even being confused about a spatula. Behind the scenes, it’s said that Waters had to take over and prepare most of the dishes while Meghan posed for the cameras. The magic of editing, of course, saved the day, crafting a narrative of Meghan as the next Gordon Ramsay—minus the culinary expertise.
But here’s the kicker: there’s no concrete evidence that Alice Waters ever made these statements. It’s all speculation and whispers. Is it believable? Sure. Is it verified? Not at all. Would a culinary icon like Waters publicly criticize someone like Meghan? Probably not. But does the idea of Meghan turning a cooking show into a vanity project sound plausible? Absolutely.
This is the same Meghan Markle who’s faced repeated accusations of taking credit for others’ work, from ghostwritten blogs to meticulously curated Instagram posts showcasing her “organic lifestyle.” Crafting narratives is Meghan’s forte. If she gets called out for not cooking, expect excuses like, “The production team didn’t give me enough time,” or, “It’s hard to focus when you’re so busy being a duchess.” Convenient excuses have become something of her trademark.
Cooking is hard. Gardening is hard. But pretending to do these things while a team of professionals handles it all? That’s a next-level skill. Let’s talk about her so-called gardening expertise. Are we to believe Meghan is out there planting seeds, watering daily, pulling weeds, and harvesting fresh veggies for her meals? Highly unlikely. The reality is probably closer to her strolling through her estate, pointing at tomatoes grown by her gardener, and saying, “Let’s use that for the show.” Performative? Absolutely. Relatable? Not even a little.
And don’t even get started on the beekeeping and candle-making shtick. Professional chefs spend years honing their craft—burning dishes, crying over failed sauces, and enduring kitchen chaos. Meanwhile, Meghan swoops in with zero qualifications, a Netflix budget, and a camera-ready smile. The result? A show that feels less like a celebration of food and more like a personal vanity project. It’s an insult to anyone who’s ever worked in a kitchen, amateur or professional.
So, did Alice Waters really roast Meghan over her lack of cooking skills? Probably not. But does the rumor align a little too well with Meghan’s track record? You bet. Whether the claims are true or not, one thing is clear: *With Love, Meghan* seems less about food and more about feeding her ego.
