Meghan Markle had her own show, “With Love, Meghan,” which featured her cooking and gardening. It ran for two seasons on Netflix. Moreover, her love for cooking is well known. She has always expressed that cooking is a way to nurture. So, her being a guest judge on a cooking show is not surprising.
However, the decision to feature Markle as a guest judge did not sit well with everyone. The post attracted criticism, with some questioning why she was chosen over professional chefs. Some people also mocked her cooking, claiming she mainly focuses on flowers and sprinkles. However, among the negative comments, she also received support from several people.
Many viewers expressed their excitement to see Markle on the show. They said she has shared many great recipes on her show and is a “real foodie.” Meanwhile, others complimented her, saying she has a “beautiful soul” and it would be exciting to see her as a judge.
