Meghan Markle has once again become the talk of the town—not for her culinary prowess, not for her charm, but for her uncanny ability to take inspiration from various sources.
Her latest venture into the world of cooking has raised more eyebrows than it has whetted appetites, with many questioning just how original her concept truly is.
While making sandwiches and baking cakes is hardly revolutionary, Meghan has managed to transform a simple idea into a peculiar montage of borrowed aesthetics, repurposed recipes, and undeniable coincidences.
If anyone is watching this new cooking endeavor with a skeptical eye (and perhaps a glass of wine in hand), it’s Emma Wetherby, the Marchioness of Bath. And why wouldn’t she be? Meghan’s show appears to bear a striking resemblance to Emma’s long-running YouTube cooking series.
Emma, known for her elegance and effortless charm, has spent years curating her brand, blending sophistication with an authentic love of cooking. Meanwhile, Meghan—who, until recently, might not have known the difference between a spatula and a whisk—has suddenly emerged with content suspiciously similar to Emma’s. Even the layered cake featured in Meghan’s show is identical to one Emma posted on social media. Coincidence? Many aren’t so sure.
Rumors have even circulated that Emma considered legal action over Meghan’s apparent mimicry. While no lawsuit has officially been filed, the glaring similarities have left many wondering if Emma has a valid case.
And then there’s the setting of this so-called “home” cooking show. One might expect an intimate glimpse into Meghan’s personal kitchen, but instead, viewers are treated to a multi-million-dollar rented mansion.
Because nothing says authenticity like filming in a lavish estate that isn’t even your own home. But, as always with Meghan, appearances are everything.
Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the show is how much of it seems lifted straight from other people’s playbooks. Take, for instance, her vibrant, rainbow-themed fruit salad—eerily similar to one shared by food blogger Meg Quinn—or her artsy edible flower ice cubes, a Pinterest staple long before Meghan likely even had a Pinterest account.
The entire project feels less like a heartfelt passion project and more like a last-minute group assignment where she simply copied the most creative student’s work.
And let’s not forget Meghan’s foray into selling jam. Yes, because King Charles definitely *didn’t* start selling his own organic jam decades ago.
If this trend continues, we might soon see Meghan Markle “pioneering” concepts like high tea, vegetable gardening, and perhaps even medieval-style banquets—all in the name of originality, of course.
But who are we to judge? If imitation truly is the sincerest form of flattery, then the culinary world should be feeling *very* honored right now. And as for Emma Wetherby? Well, she’s probably just rolling her eyes—again.
