### Meghan Markle’s Culinary Dreams Crumble Amid Netflix Drama

Just when we thought we'd finally cracked the code to the perfect avocado toast, it appears that dreams can shatter faster than a stale scone.

Recent buzz suggests that 's ambitious cooking show, which was rumored to launch on Netflix, has received an unwelcome eviction notice before it even got off the ground.

After securing a staggering $100 million deal with Netflix, Meghan and embarked on a project titled “Polo,” a five-part docuseries focusing on the world of elite equestrian players.

This venture was expected to dazzle audiences with its high-society glamour.

Instead, it left viewers feeling as uninspired as a barista at dawn, with critics labeling it as tedious and painfully niche—a vanity project that felt more like a poorly crafted joke than an engaging series.

The backlash was swift and brutal.

Now, it seems Meghan's culinary aspirations, which were tied to her defunct lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, are hanging by a thread.

Sources indicate that her cooking show is precariously perched on Netflix's chopping block, marking a pivotal moment for the Sussexes' envisioned television empire.

Spoiler alert: it's not looking good.

A Netflix insider hinted that there might still be a glimmer of hope for Meghan's cooking show if she can somehow revive her struggling lifestyle brand.

However, considering her past trademark troubles—like failing to choose a name that wasn't already claimed—the odds of this happening seem as slim as Harry's dwindling friendships within the royal family.

In a rather ironic twist, Meghan's idea of culinary brilliance appears to revolve around selecting loaves of banana bread prepared by her assistants, only to pose for Instagram photos as if they were her own creations.

Authenticity, anyone?

And let's not overlook her penchant for micromanaging the decor until it meets her Pinterest-perfect standards.

As for Harry, while he served as co-executive producer on “Polo,” critics have pointed out that this project, like many others, leans heavily on his personal interests.

Meghan's anticipated cooking show was supposed to be her moment in the spotlight, but now it seems to be heading straight into Netflix's “Never Gonna Happen” folder.

Interestingly, while Harry's projects, including the Invictus Games docuseries, struggle to gain traction, Meghan appears to be distancing herself from the fallout faster than a royal making a hasty exit from a family dinner.

Insiders claim that A-listers are increasingly steering clear of the Sussexes, evidenced by Meghan's conspicuous absence from Oprah's surprise birthday celebration for Gayle King.

The whispers at those exclusive Beverly Hills brunches must be something else, with attendees likely exchanging knowing glances and murmurs about avoiding the couple.

It's almost as if they've become yesterday's news, with their relevance fading faster than a last season's trend.

If Netflix were to produce a documentary about the real behind-the-scenes experience of working with Meghan and Harry, it might just become a hit.

Forget about tablescapes and banana bread; audiences would be far more interested in the tantrums, rewritten scripts, and inflated egos that come with the territory.

For now, we're left with mere rumors about Meghan's supposed culinary skills.

Word has it that her banana bread recipe involves waking up at the crack of dawn, jetting off to an African estate, and baking there for that extra touch of authenticity.

But for those without access to a private jet, it seems you're simply out of luck.

It's no secret that Meghan aspired to create a show that would launch her into the lifestyle queen stratosphere, akin to Martha Stewart or Gwyneth Paltrow of Goop fame.

However, what was meant to be a manifestation of her dreams feels more like a desperate grasp at relevance.

Rumors suggest she even filmed content on her own dime and presented it to Netflix, akin to an eager intern seeking approval.

With her lifestyle brand seemingly sunk and Netflix's patience wearing thin, it appears the streaming giant has chosen to cut its losses.
