Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV - Prince Ricardo De La Cerda
Meghan Markle has wrapped up filming for her new cooking and home show, a Hollywood insider previously claimed. Royal fans are hotly-anticipating the Duchess of Sussex’s latest offering which is expected to be a “gamechanger” says celebrity PR expert Carla Speight.
While no date has been confirmed for the release of her Netflix show, or her brand American Riviera Orchard, it has been strongly rumoured Prince Harry, 39, will make a few cameo appearances, but sources remain tight-lipped.
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Carla has shared an insight into the former Suits star’s latest move, which may also include son Prince Archie and daughter Princess Lilibet.
“I’m not sure they will show Archie and Lilibet, purely because they have so far protected the children from the spotlight that Harry has been subjected to his whole life,” she explained, “That said, if they do appear, it would delight fans around the world.”
She continued: “If they were to organically interrupt filming, such as Jamie Oliver’s kids do during his most recent shows, then it could offer many sweet moments and a real insight into their family life that so far no royal has ever offered before.
“It would be a really good moment that could be a game changer for how the public sees them as a family unit. If it were to happen, it could bring back that sense of protection for Diana, the People’s Princess’ son Harry and her grandchildren.
“The public once had him close to their hearts, but because of the distance of the royals from the general public, it’s made it harder over the years for that sense of public responsibility for Harry and William to be upheld and the drama only amplified that.
“If Meghan and Harry let the public see them as the loving family they are, then the response could be incredibly positive.”
The show, which is yet to receive a title or air date, will “celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship” and is part of Meghan and Harry’s $100million Netflix deal.
The show was filmed at a property two miles from Meghan’s Montecito mansion, which she and Prince Harry, 39, share with children Archie, two, and Lilibet, two.
The celebrity expert is certain the show will put Meghan, 43, in a positive light and show the royal in a “way we’ve never seen before”.
“She has a really warm and caring personality, which has shone through with all her previous humanitarian work as a UN ambassador, which incidentally led to her connection with Harry strengthening when she went to see him in Botswana,” the expert commented.
“People have forgotten that and this show will allow her to reveal that side of her and share it with the viewers.”
Carla added: “No doubt she will have the chance to connect with viewers in a way we’ve never seen before and she will build a strong fandom from the show.”
Although filming for Netflix has finished, it still takes months for the show to be edited as it has to be synched up for countries around the world with audio and subtitles, and it should be on our screens in early 2025, Express understands.
