Meghan Markle's lifestyle show has been blasted as "a mess" in a scathing analysis from royal biographer Angela Levin.
The reaction comes after the duchess unveiled her new eight-episode Netflix series "With Love, Meghan" on Tuesday.
The show stars Markle as the host, offering home styling tips and sharing her favourite recipes.
Speaking about the new show on GB News, royal biographer Angela Levin claimed: "It's just such a mess. I mean, it's a mess from beginning to end because she doesn't really know what she's doing and doesn't have any experience that would help her.
"She doesn’t wait until things are sorted out. You know, and I thought it was ridiculous. Her first visitor was her makeup artist, who adores her.
"He was just saying, Oh my God, that's wonderful. And that's what Meghan wants. She wants to be admired and loved.

"But her ideas about cooking were just ridiculous. She doesn’t like cooking, so she didn’t really do much, just fiddled with it afterward.
"The guy looking after her face cut ger tomatoes, and she then put the pasta over them.
"He said, 'This is the way you cook pasta: you put hot water in and put it in the oven.'
"Now, anyone who can cook already knows that. So to think that this will get loads of people tuning in for her cooking ideas is nonsense."
Netflix has tagged the show as "relaxing", "feel-good" and "lifestyle".
The programme is being viewed as a make-or-break moment for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who signed their lucrative Netflix contract in 2020.
Each episode runs for 33 minutes and features appearances from Meghan's celebrity friends.
The first episode, titled "Hello Honey!", features Meghan harvesting honey and preparing a "thoughtful guest basket" with her friend Daniel Martin.
Comedian and actress Mindy Kaling makes an appearance, alongside Meghan's former "Suits" co-star Abigail Spencer.
"The biggest thing is keeping a low tone – talk in our bee voice," Meghan advises whilst tending to bees in the opening episode.
The series showcases Meghan's culinary skills, including making focaccia bread and preparing what appears to be an Eton Mess dessert with strawberries, cream and mint.
"I'm going to share some little tips and tricks... and how you incorporate these practices every day," she explains in the show.
