Find out what warning a British chef said he was sent from Netflix after slamming the Duchess of Sussex and her show ‘With Love, Meghan.’

Meghan Markle‘s lifestyle show debuted on the Netflix on March 4. While the Duchess of Sussex’s fans enjoyed watching her share entertaining tips and cook up colorful treats, the show’s critics were louder and slammed With Love, Meghan.

Outlets on both sides of the pond panned the series and the majority of reviews on Rotten Tomatoes gave it a rating of one star or just a half star calling it “fake,” “boring,” and “tone deaf.” But just don’t say Meghan can’t cook.

Here’s what a British chef claims happened when he did that.

British chef says that Netflix sent him a letter after he was critical of Meghan’s show

Jameson Stocks has worked under Marco Pierre White, the restaurateur and television personality who in 1995 became the youngest chef to earn three Michelin stars. 

Stock said he received a legal letter warning from Netflix after calling the show “painful to watch” and opining that Meghan didn’t know how to cook.

Stocks told the Daily Mail: “I got a lawyer’s letter from Netflix after I spoke out against her, warning me. I proper pissed them off. Netflix did not like it and came after me.”

He then dubbed the legal letter from the streaming giant as “a load of nonsense.” The chef explained that he would have advised the former Suits star to “steer clear” of the kitchen and “go back to acting” because “people should stick to what they do best.”

Stocks also wanted to know, “How can she get all this money from Netflix? I don’t think she can cook and I don’t think she should be teaching people to cook either … I would cook something she has done on her TV program, but cook it properly.”

He then went a step further and took aim at Meghan’s As Ever raspberry jam and mocked its price point ($14 with keepsake packaging), saying: “Her jam sold out in minutes. I think they probably only had about 10 of each product.”

Another chef also slammed the duchess and her cooking show

Stocks isn’t the only chef to criticize Meghan; chef Richard Corrigan did as well.

Coorigan has prepared meals for members of the royal family in the past including Queen Elizabeth II, and operates the London restaurants Bentley’s Oyster Bar & Grill and Corrigan’s Mayfair in London, and Virginia Park Lodge in Ireland. 

Corrigan watched With Love, Meghan and told the Daily Mail that he agrees with the reviewers who called it fake, forced, and “pretentious.”

“It’s a bit pretentious,” he said. “I don’t like the pretense. California is all very Hollywood, it’s all very samey — Britain is not like that. I don’t think anyone likes people doing cheap TV.”

Corrigan added: “I cooked for the queen free of charge, of course. And I’ll cook for anyone, but let me just say, some people will have to pay. I’d let [Meghan] in the restaurant, for sure, but the queen had the red carpet rolled out. Would Meghan? I don’t think so.”
