If Meghan Markle’s Netflix series were the NBA Finals of drinking, she’d undoubtedly be crowned MVP. Eight episodes, eight instances of Meghan indulging in alcohol—sometimes even multiple times in a single day. Whether it’s champagne, wine, or something stronger, Meghan’s Netflix show has turned into a drinking spectacle that’s hard to ignore.
The series, which was supposed to showcase her culinary and hosting skills, has instead highlighted her penchant for alcohol. From brunch parties to casual cooking sessions, Meghan seems to have a drink in hand more often than not. Critics and viewers alike are starting to wonder: does Meghan Markle have a drinking problem?
The show’s format is simple yet baffling. Meghan meets with a famous chef, Alice Waters (a name many admit they’ve never heard before), and hosts a series of gatherings that revolve around food, flowers, and, of course, alcohol. The episodes are filled with mundane activities—making crepes (which are essentially thin pancakes), arranging vegetables, and wrapping gifts with twine and shrub clippings. Yet, somehow, these tasks are presented as groundbreaking achievements worthy of an eight-episode Netflix series.
One of the most cringe-worthy moments comes when Meghan showcases her “calligraphy” skills. In every episode, she scribbles out menus or notes, adding a dramatic swish at the end of each stroke as if it’s a work of art. It’s a small detail, but one that feels overly staged and unnecessary.
Then there’s the infamous brunch party. Meghan and her guests sip champagne while nibbling on fancy celery sticks, asparagus, and red potato slices. It’s the kind of spread you’d find at any grocery store’s produce section, yet it’s presented as a culinary masterpiece. The real star of the show, however, is the alcohol. Whether it’s champagne or wine, the drinks flow freely, leaving viewers to question if Meghan’s Netflix series is less about cooking and more about her love for a good buzz.
The show also features Meghan tending to her chickens, a hobby she claims took six months of rehabilitation for some of the birds. But here’s the question: where did she find the time? Between hosting brunches, meeting chefs, and filming a Netflix series, it’s hard to imagine Meghan has much room in her schedule for chicken rehab. Unless, of course, she considers these activities “work.”
And that’s the crux of the issue. Meghan Markle’s Netflix series feels less like a professional project and more like the escapades of a bored, rich housewife. She flits from one hobby to the next—cooking, gardening, calligraphy, gift-wrapping—with no real depth or purpose. Each activity is meticulously staged for the camera, but the end result is a series that feels shallow and self-indulgent.
The drinking, however, is the most glaring issue. In every episode, Meghan is seen with a glass in hand, whether she’s toasting with friends or sipping solo. It’s a pattern that’s hard to ignore, and it’s led to speculation about her relationship with alcohol. Is Meghan Markle an alcoholic? Or is she simply using alcohol as a prop to create a carefree, luxurious image?
Either way, the series has left viewers scratching their heads. Why was Meghan Markle given an eight-episode Netflix deal to showcase activities that most people do in their spare time? And why is alcohol such a central theme?
In the end, Meghan’s Netflix series feels like a missed opportunity. Instead of offering genuine insight into her life or talents, it comes across as a shallow display of wealth and privilege. And with alcohol playing such a prominent role, it’s hard to take the show seriously.
Whether Meghan Markle has a drinking problem or not, one thing is clear: her Netflix series has sparked more conversations about her alcohol consumption than her culinary skills. And that’s a problem no amount of champagne can fix.
