‘Exhausted’ With Meghan Markle? Netflix Excludes Duchess’s Recipes From Its Las Vegas Restaurant
Netflix recently opened its NETFLIX BITES restaurant in Las Vegas which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It offers a variety of meals and treats inspired by shows like Stranger Things, Bridgerton, Squid Game, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, and Dinner Time Live with David Chang.
“NETFLIX BITES Vegas is a new way to experience fan-favorite movies and shows — when our fans find a show they like, they don’t just want to love it –– they want to live it,” Josh Simon, Vice President of Consumer Products at Netflix, said in a press release.
But now some have noted that there are no items on the menu from Meghan Markle after she debuted her With Love, Meghan series on the streamer and launched her As Ever jams.
Meghan’s jam and her other creations left off menu at Netflix restaurant
During an appearance on Sky News Australia with host Rita Panahi, To Di For Daily podcast host Kinsey Schofield discussed the news that Meghan’s edibles have been left off the menu at Netflix’s eatery and claimed the streaming giant may simply be “exhausted” with the duchess.
According to Schofield, “So, since Meghan’s show flopped, bosses at Netflix have been quiet about their ongoing partnership — remember Meghan called it a ‘partnership — but despite being one of Netflix’s most talked about employees, Meghan Markle’s loose fruits spread didn’t make the cut for the streamer’s official restuarant in Vegas. [It] serves food inspired by some of its biggest shows like Bridgerton-themed items [such as] Regency Tea designed by Lady Whistledown herself.”
Schofield continued: “You got a fake royal. You literally work with a real one who’s chilling jam. Why is that not on your menu? Apparently, it’s just that Netflix is exhausted with this woman and they’re over it.”
Panahi interjected and referred to the Sussexes’ lucrative multi-million contract with the streamer, saying Netflix “paid a lot of money for very little in return. That has been a very poor decision indeed by Netflix to invest so heavily in this couple.”
Where Meghan’s products and jams will be featured
Despite what’s being perceived as a snub by Netflix not putting Meghan’s edibles on the menu, her jams and other As Ever products are set to be sold at the company’s new Netflix House stores, which will open in two malls just outside Dallas and Philadelphia.
A company source told the Daily Mail that “Netflix is expanding and growing all the time and Netflix House is a natural progression. Meghan’s products will be in there alongside shirts and merchandise from some of the biggest shows on the planet.”
The insider added that there will also be an onsite cafe “so Meghan’s products like her strawberry jam will be featured on the menu too.”
As far as Netflix being “exhausted” with Meghan, no one knows for sure. But co-chief executive Ted Sarandos has publicly defended the Duchess of Sussex, insisting: “I think Meghan is underestimated in terms of her influence on culture.”
