Former American actress Meghan Markle attempted a new role this year: domestic heroine.

The Duchess of Sussex's highly anticipated Netflix series Love, Meghan has been postponed to March 4 due to the Los Angeles wildfires. Ahead of the premiere, the former Suits star was compared to Martha Stewart and Nigella Lawson, two lifestyle gurus who have overcome negative press.

But some royal experts believe the mother-of-three still has a long way to go before being welcomed into the coveted circle.

"Meghan's team helped her put a lot of aggressive marketing and branding into the Netflix series," BBC broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital.

“In time, she could be successful in the lifestyle space,” Chad said. "However, this will take a long time because Meghan's character just doesn't fit into this sickly sweet picture."

"It doesn't feel real," Chad claimed. "It's like she's trying to fit in by playing a very outdated housewife role...very weird and feeble. She's said bad things and abandoned most of her family and friends, which is certainly not relatable Pictures of love and joy.”

The New York Times first compared the three women. It noted that Meghan's plans for a dominant lifestyle followed a "lucrative" blueprint that worked for both Stewart, 83, and Lawson, 65.

According to the outlet, both women have been at the center of public crises.

In 2004, Stewart was found guilty of insider trading-related charges, including obstruction of justice and conspiracy, and was sentenced to five months in prison. After serving her sentence, she rebuilt her brand and bounced back, becoming a successful entrepreneur and television personality.

Lawson's failed marriage to millionaire art collector Charles Saatchi and their turbulent family life became the subject of tabloids. The sentiments intensified when he was filmed grabbing her by the throat outside a London restaurant, and they divorced in 2013 soon after.

Testifying at the fraud trial of two former assistants that year, the celebrity chef admitted in court that she had taken cocaine but denied that she was a habitual user.

Like Stewart, Lawson put the past behind him and started anew. She came to prominence with a new cookbook and has appeared in several cooking specials. Today, she's getting even more recognition for her unique pronunciation of "microwave."

“Martha Stewart is a leader in her field,” Chad said. "She achieved great success not only through her talent, but through being herself, tremendous courage and determination. She was... innovative and wowed audiences.

"The same goes for the much-loved Nigella, who is a fantastic cook and presenter. She also has the most mysterious, authentic and fun personality."

"I think Meghan's lifestyle line is outdated," Chad said. "She needs to add more content and make her show modern and interesting. It would also help if she was a trained expert in the field. That way people might buy into the brand she is building and not be swayed by smoke and mirrors Suffocated by mirrors.”

Before joining the British royal family, Meghan owned a lifestyle blog, The Tig. The restaurant closed in 2017 after she got engaged to Harry. One of her first acts as a royal was to publish a fundraising cookbook in partnership with Hubb Community Kitchen.

"It doesn't feel real. Like she's trying to fit in by playing a very outdated housewife role... very strange and weak. She's said bad things and abandoned most of her family and friends, which of course doesn't It conjures up images of love and joy.”

But over the years, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have made headlines for expressing their displeasure. After moving to California in 2020, they gave a television interview to Oprah Winfrey, detailing their struggles in royal life. Then in late 2022, they launched the controversial Netflix documentary Harry and Meghan, followed by Harry's explosive memoir Spare. Each release highlights new allegations about their time as members of the royal family.

Some experts believe that portraying a completely different character - one that has been played many times before - will be a harder sell.

“Martha Stewart was truly a pioneer in this space and some would say she created the entire lifestyle industry,” Doug Eldridge, agent, celebrity branding and marketing expert and founder of Achilles PR told Fox News Digital.

"In the three decades since then ... the industry has become increasingly saturated," he said. "That's not to say Meghan can't carve out her own niche in the lifestyle market, but doing so will be much harder than it was a decade ago. It's like swimming a few laps in a lane with three other swimmers and 35 People with pool noodles are hard to distinguish, let alone dominate, in such a crowded situation.”

"You have to change your stroke or swim in a different direction entirely," Eldridge added.

British royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital that she believes the 43-year-old royal has yet to find her footing. She claimed that the show seemed to have failed to show Meghan's real side.

"Meghan should focus on her brand," Fortewitch explained. "She's very slim, so she should incorporate that into her brand... Americans, and indeed many people around the world, would embrace a figure as slim as hers... before indulging in sugar, cakes and the like. It’s impossible to have something like her body while having it.” She should be sharing how she got such a body while showing the food she clearly eats is fake. "

"Also true to the brand, she welcomed a prince," said Fortovich. "Can you be totally honest and give advice to single women on how to get eligible bachelors? Many want to act, too. How do you get an acting job?"

"In other words, she should stay true to herself," Fortewitch added.

But not everyone agrees.

"I think it's the opposite - what can Martha and Nigella learn from Meghan?" royal expert Ian Pelham Turner told Fox Digital News.

"There's no question that Meghan keeps winning because she has tremendous empathy for real people," he said. “When she started cooking with Muslim women and then creating fundraising opportunities, she won the hearts of the minority community – that’s the real Meghan.

"Nigella and Martha are great. They use their intelligence to connect. Megan connects from the heart," he said. "It's up to the American people ... whether she succeeds or not. I hope she wins. She deserves it too."

"Love, Meghan" is the Duchess of Sussex's first solo project on Netflix. Last year, she also showcased her upcoming lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. Several of her celebrity friends showed off her strawberry jam on Instagram.
