Meghan Markle is in a tight spot once again, having wrapped the filming for her upcoming Netflix series and already landed on the hotbed of controversy. With sharp jabs from fierce critics to forecast that hint at the streamers’ waning interest, the Duchess has handled quite a few blows all year around. However, a recent analysis by a PR expert indicates that Markle might have to buckle up in the days to come as no room for failure is left, at least, for the $100 million Netflix deal. 

Even with support from the streaming giant, Markle may need to proceed with caution, as the Netflix deal could prove to be a breakthrough point.

When Meghan Markle wrapped up filming for the $100 million Netflix deal with Prince Harry, she invited a bed of thorns from figures like Rita Panahi. Now, the Duchess stands at another critical juncture, as PR expert Mark Borkowski highlighted the deal’s potential impact on her future in an interview with Closer. Borkowski views the show as a “make-or-break” opportunity for Markle, necessitating its absolute success in the lucrative industry.

Borkowski noted Markle’s ambition to become the next Martha Stewart in the lifestyle domain but also stressed that there is no room for failure in this sector. According to him, if Markle succeeds, it could help counteract the negativity she has faced and enhance her credibility. However, Borkowski also pointed out that while the potential for income is significant, the stakes are high, with no middle ground if the venture fails.

Meghan Markle is set to debut her cooking show as part of her and Prince Harry's $100 million Netflix deal, which will highlight “the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship.” This is just the first part of the series; the second part aims to give tell-all access to the world of professional polo, a sport the Duke is particularly passionate about.

Despite not yet premiering, the series has already faced criticism for lacking an air date or title. Many experts believe it may be redundant, as Netflix's The Crown has extensively covered the crux of the royal family’s stories. However, as Mark Borkowski noted, this could be a “make-or-break” moment for the Duchess, only time will tell if Markle and the Prince’s business acumen lead to success or failure.
