Meghan Markle is apparently stepping into the world of homemaking, and it seems like she’s trying to copy none other than the iconic Martha Stewart.
The same Martha Stewart who went to federal prison, wrote over 100 cookbooks, and built an empire out of her impeccable taste. Now, Meghan’s latest Netflix venture, *With Love, Meghan*, is being compared to Stewart’s legendary brand, but not in a flattering way.The trailer for Meghan’s show dropped recently, and people have plenty to say. First of all, can we talk about how eerily familiar Meghan’s new style looks? Fans wasted no time pointing out the similarities between Meghan’s cooking show and Martha’s iconic domestic bliss aesthetic. From the recipes to the overall vibe, it’s as if Meghan said, “Hey, let’s just do Martha, but on a Dollar Tree budget.”
And the cherry on top? The song in the trailer, “Do You Believe in Magic” by The Lovin’ Spoonful. It’s a fun tune, sure, but it’s hard to call the show itself magical. It feels more like a Pinterest board brought to life — and not even an original one.
Some viewers tried to be polite, calling the show “Martha Stewart-esque,” which is really just a nice way of saying, “Oh look, a wannabe.” Meghan might be a former duchess, but Martha Stewart is the undisputed queen of all things home, garden, and, yes, even prison chic.
Meghan’s cooking skills (or lack thereof) don’t hold a candle to the culinary legacy that Martha has built through decades of hard work, creative genius, and, let’s not forget, a little insider trading.
Martha Stewart herself has reportedly grown tired of the Meghan comparisons. Sources say she’s been rolling her eyes so hard they might get stuck. After all, Martha didn’t spend years building her brand just to watch someone attempt to copy-paste her recipes on a much smaller stage.
And the copycat accusations? Let’s just say they’re not going over well. When a recipe like Martha’s signature lemon herb roast chicken shows up on Meghan’s show with only a couple of tweaks, you can bet Martha noticed.
At 83 years old, Martha Stewart is still breaking boundaries. She’s preparing to release her 100th cookbook and continues to dominate with a product line that’s as respected as it is profitable. Meghan, on the other hand, seems to be grasping for relevance. Her career feels like a string of “let’s see what sticks” moments: actress? Check. Motivational speaker? Check. Podcast host? You bet. And now, hostess with the mostess of, well, allegedly stolen recipes.
So, what’s next for Meghan? Maybe she’ll launch a line of kitchenware — oh wait, Martha’s already got that covered too. Does Meghan want to be the next Martha Stewart, or is she just trying to get a seat at the royal table by pretending she can cook?
Either way, it’s a no from Martha. And who knows? She might be ready to serve up a lawsuit instead of a lemon meringue pie. Let’s just hope the royalties go to the right person.
