Jameson Stocks took aim at the Duchess of Sussex's Netflix programme

Celebrity chef Jameson Stocks has claimed he received a legal warning from Netflix after publicly criticising Meghan Markle's cooking abilities.

The outspoken chef told the Mail that Netflix sent him "a lawyer's letter" following his comments about the Duchess of Sussex.


Stocks had advised Meghan to "steer clear of the kitchen and go back to acting".

He described her as "quite a good actress" and insisted that "people should stick to what they do best".

"I proper p****d them off. Netflix did not like it and came after me," Stocks said about the legal letter, describing it as "a load of nonsense".

"I am not taking any notice," he added.

The chef appeared entirely unmoved by the streaming giant's warning.

Stocks also expressed skepticism about Meghan's lifestyle brand, As Ever.

He said: "Her jam sold out in minutes. I think they probably only had about ten of each product."

The chef was equally critical of her Netflix cooking show.

"How can she get all this money from Netflix? I don't think she can cook and I don't think she should be teaching people to cook either," Stocks continued.

"What would I cook for her? I would cook something she has done on her TV programme but cook it properly."

Netflix insiders denied approaching the Michelin-starred chef for the programme, which was released on March 4.

In March, Stocks claimed he turned down an opportunity to work on the Duchess of Sussex's Netflix show With Love, Meghan.

However, Netflix insiders denied approaching the Michelin-starred chef for the programme, which was released on March 4.

Stocks said he was contacted during New York Fashion Week in February last year about consulting on a "mystery lifestyle programme".

He claimed he "shut it down quite quickly" as it "just wasn't for me".

A Netflix production source contradicted his account, stating the show was not even in development when Stocks alleges the meeting took place.
