Meghan Markle has wrapped filming for her Netflix cooking show, but New Idea hears the duchess’ upcoming series has been plagued by drama!
Our exclusive source says that Meghan “has a lot riding on the show being a hit”.
“She’s praying this show will launch her into a new career as a lifestyle guru,” says the source.
“She wants to be the next Martha [Stewart] or Gwyneth [Paltrow] and she is counting on this show to get her there.”
Meghan is feeling the pressure after the axing of her and Harry’s $30 million Spotify deal and the end of their five-year Netflix contract, worth $150 million, in 2025.
“Meghan’s already trademarked all kids of products under her American Riviera Orchard label, and she’s banking on making money right out of the gate,” our source adds.
“She believes this lifestyle program will help her do that – but there are no guarantees.”
But despite the heat, our source says Meghan isn’t making things easy for Netflix.
She reportedly refused to film the project at her Montecito mansion, instead forcing producers to shell out big bucks to film at another property nearby.
“She’s on pins and needles waiting for this show to come out, and the stress it’s causing her is being felt by everyone around her – especially Harry,” our source adds.
“If this show flops it will be a total disaster and she knows it.
As yet, there the show remains publicly untitled and there is no word as to when it will appear on screens.
