Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are once again under the spotlight, following the release of their Netflix series Polo on December 10, which was quickly followed by their annual holiday greeting card. Despite both the documentary and the Christmas card facing criticism, Meghan continues to draw attention as fans eagerly await the launch of her new venture, American Riviera Orchard.
The 43 year old is also set to reveal a cooking and lifestyle-focused Netflix show tied to her brand, promoting culinary arts, hospitality, and camaraderie. However, a Netflix insider has now voiced concerns about the new show and shared what it's like working with Meghan.
In a brutally blunt six-word comment, they told the Daily Mail: "It's so much work with her."

They also expressed pointed skepticism about the value of her upcoming show, stating: "Bluntly, the 'deliverable' does not seem to be worth it."
Another industry insider suggested that Meghan's forthcoming project needs to significantly impress in order to sustain the couple's Netflix partnership, which is up for renewal in 2025. The recent Polo series, which only featured Harry and Meghan in its final episode, has faced severe criticism over the past two weeks, including from royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams who labeled the series "dull," reports Surrey Live.
A Netflix source told the Mail that following the disappointing performance of the new sports documentary, Meghan's culinary show "may not see the light of day."
The Sussexes' Netflix projects are under the microscope just as they prepare to celebrate Christmas at their Montecito residence with their two young children, five year old Prince Archie and three year old Princess Lilibet. Meghan's mother Doria is expected to join them for the holiday celebrations.
It's reported that the couple did not receive an invite to spend Christmas with Harry's royal family at Sandringham this year, where 45 members of the Firm are set to gather.
