Before Meghan Markle became the Duchess of Sussex and a global icon, she reportedly had her sights set on a different kind of stardom—one that involved the culinary world. According to a former talent agent, Meghan once aspired to become a TV celebrity chef, following in the footsteps of culinary giants like Gordon Ramsay.
A Passion for Food and Lifestyle
Long before her royal life and even before her breakout role as Rachel Zane in Suits, Meghan had a deep love for food, cooking, and entertaining. She often shared her culinary adventures on her now-defunct lifestyle blog, The Tig, where she posted recipes, restaurant reviews, and food-related stories. Her passion for gastronomy was evident, and according to insiders, she seriously considered building a brand around it.
From Hollywood to the Kitchen?
The talent agent, who worked with Meghan during her early years in Hollywood, claims that she explored opportunities in the food and lifestyle space. “She always had a keen interest in food and saw herself hosting a cooking or travel show, much like Gordon Ramsay or Nigella Lawson,” the source revealed. Meghan’s natural charm and on-camera presence would have made her an ideal host for a food-focused series.
A Shift in Destiny
Despite her interest in the culinary world, Meghan’s acting career took center stage, leading her to the legal drama Suits, where she gained international recognition. Her personal life took an even bigger turn when she met and married Prince Harry, stepping away from Hollywood altogether. However, remnants of her food passion remain—she famously contributed a foreword to Together: Our Community Cookbook, a project supporting the Hubb Community Kitchen in London.
Could a Culinary Comeback Be in the Cards?
Though Meghan’s life has drastically changed, her passion for food has never faded. With her and Prince Harry’s new ventures in media and entertainment, some speculate that she could still explore a food-related project in the future—perhaps a docuseries, cookbook, or even a cooking show.
While Meghan may not have become the next Gordon Ramsay, her journey from aspiring celebrity chef to duchess is proof that life often takes unexpected turns. But who knows? Maybe one day, we’ll see her don an apron and step into the world of food television after all.
