Celebrity chef Jameson Stocks has recently found himself at the center of controversy following his public criticism of Meghan Markle’s Netflix lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan.

Stocks, known for his work with British royalty, described the show as “terrible” and “painful to watch,” citing its slow pacing and lack of authenticity. He further suggested that Markle should return to acting, a role he believes she excels in.

In a statement to the New York Post, Stocks emphasized that his criticism was directed solely at the show and not at Markle personally. He expressed discomfort with the idea of participating in what he perceived as a forced project.

Despite his reservations, he claimed to have received a legal threat from Netflix following his remarks.

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

“I don’t think she can cook and I don’t think she should be teaching people to cook either,” he added.

However, Netflix has denied sending any legal notice to Stocks. A Netflix insider refuted his claims, stating that the company did not approach him for the show and that development had not even started when he says he was contacted.

Stocks also revealed that he had been approached by Netflix in early 2024 about consulting on a lifestyle program, which he later learned was for Markle’s show. He declined the offer, fearing backlash even if the show turned out well. A source close to the production contradicted Stocks’ account, stating that he was never invited to participate in the series.

The controversy surrounding Stocks’ comments has intensified, with the chef reporting receiving death threats and hateful messages after his criticism aired on GB News. He described the threats as shocking and emphasized that he never intended to personally attack Markle.

Markle’s show will continue despite criticism

Despite the backlash, Netflix has confirmed a second season of With Love, Meghan, with production already completed. The series, which debuted in March 2025, features celebrity guests like Abigail Spencer and Mindy Kaling.

While the show has received mixed reviews, Netflix remains committed to its partnership with Markle and Prince Harry, who signed a multi-year deal with the streaming platform in 2020.

Markle has responded to criticism about her relatability by reminding audiences that she was not always royalty. She continues to navigate the challenges of transitioning from acting to a lifestyle influencer, a journey that has sparked both support and skepticism from the public and industry professionals alike.

In summary, the clash between celebrity chef Jameson Stocks and Meghan Markle’s Netflix series highlights the complexities and challenges of celebrity-driven content in the digital age.

As public figures continue to expand their brands into new media, the lines between personal and professional opinions remain blurred, often leading to unexpected controversies and legal disputes.
