Celebrity chef Jameson Stocks has slammed the second season of Meghan Markle’s Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan” — saying the entire thing was nothing but “staged and fake.”
The chef, who had previously cooked for King Charles and other royals, admitted he watched the latest episode of Markle’s cooking show against his better judgment, only to be left thoroughly disappointed by what he saw.
“I tried to keep an open mind, hoping it might be an improvement on the first series,” Stocks, 41, told The Post. “But just two minutes in, I was already done with this bulls–t.”
“I found myself thinking, ‘What am I even doing watching this?’” said Stocks, who previously claimed that he turned down an offer from the streamer to work on the show’s first season.
“She’s looking for credibility with the chefs and guests, just because you know a good cook doesn’t mean you are a good cook, I find it all really embarrassing,” he said.
A new eight-part installment of the Duchess of Sussex’s lifestyle series dropped on the streaming platform in the early hours of Tuesday morning, and features guest appearances from Markle’s celeb pals, including Chrissy Teigen, Tan France, Jay Shetty and more.
The show follows a similar format to the first season, which sees the former actress share tips and tricks for hosting at home and getting in tune with at-home hobbies.
“I find it all rather insincere,” Stocks said. “She’s not a terrible cook, but her skills aren’t strong enough to offer genuine tips.”

Stocks, who previously alleged he got hit with legal action from Netflix for denouncing Markle’s series, said the “Suits” alum “comes across as a poor imitation of Martha Stewart.”
“I seriously doubt she spends six to seven hours at the stove preparing Prince Harry’s dinner,” he continued.
“In fact, on her show, she does very little — mostly just standing around, stirring, tossing pre-prepared ingredients into a pan, and slicing fruit, all while dressed in expensive clothes and talking nonsense.”
The celeb chef added that Markle should be done with her cooking phase and instead “stick to acting.”
The second season of the show has since been bashed by critics, who branded the series as “needy.”
