But royal expert Hugo Vickers has claimed the new show will not resonate with Brits or Americans.
He told The Sun: "The sort of food that she's producing is not going to appeal to a lot of people who can't afford to buy that sort of thing.
"I mean a lot of people are suffering. This is a time of hardship generally and I'm sure in America likewise.
"And so I don't really quite know what we're going to make of a star in a white dress, and not even wearing an apron, putting together all this stuff.

Fellow Suits co-star Abigail Spencer, who played Dana Scott on the hit show, made an appearance in the trailer.
Producer, actress and comedian Mindy Kaling could even be seen saying this was "one of the most glamorous moments" of her life.
A montage of various clips in the nearly two minute video showed Meghan walking through vegetable patches and fields.
She was also filmed browsing through beautiful flowers for table arrangements.
The Duchess even tried her hand at beekeeping, fully suited up, as she collected honey.
In the new trailer, Meghan shared: "I've always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it.
"Surprising people with moments that let them know I was really thinking of them. I'm going to share some little tips and tricks.
"I see what colour I gravitate to, and everything goes from there. And how you incorporate these practices every day.
"This is about connecting with friends.. I love that we're doing this together for the first time. Making new friends.. and just learning.

The trailer showcased many "candid" moments, from Meghan accidentally squeezing some lemon juice in her eye, to knocking freshly baked goodies off a plate.
