He continued: “I think she’s becoming a bit of a liability to be honest with you.”
“They don’t really know what to do with her, maybe an actual chat show would be better suited. The audience figures proved that a lifestyle show doesn’t work with her at the helm.”
Although, Jameson did acknowledge that both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as a couple, still hold a level of respect.
However, he insisted credibility comes only through authenticity. “I believe Prince Harry and Meghan do earn a certain level of respect. It’s not my place to comment on their personal lives.”
“From my perspective as a chef and someone with experience in television, I can only judge her show.”
He added: “In my view, like in any aspect of life, authenticity and relatability build credibility, while those who come across as fake or insincere gain very little.”
Jameson felt that audiences are more interested in Prince Harry than in Meghan. “Frankly, I think people are more intrigued by Prince Harry than by her. A lifestyle show centred around him would probably have been much more engaging.”
The chef continued: “Let’s be honest, viewers watched the first season mainly hoping to catch a glimpse of Harry and their home, which was actually rented and staged to look lived-in, but felt overthought and lacked genuine substance and personality like them.”
When asked what he thought Meghan might do next, the expert suggested she pivot to a different format, though he confessed his doubts over whether it would work or not.
“If I had to guess what Meghan’s next show would be, I’d say a talk show—no cooking, no edible flowers, studio-based. However, I doubt that will happen because I think she wants to be the centre of attention, and as a talk show host, the focus is actually on the guest,” he said.
