Kim Kardashian Calls Out Meghan Markle Over Cake Controversy
In a surprising revelation, Kim Kardashian has shed light on an incident involving Meghan Markle and a birthday cake for Prince Harry and Meghan's son, Archie.
It turns out that the Duchess of Sussex may have tried to pull a fast one when she requested a cake from Solvang Bakery without offering to pay for it.
The drama unfolded just as Prince Harry returned to California after a brief visit to the UK for King Charles' coronation, where he spent only about 28 hours before rushing back for his son's fourth birthday celebration.
According to Kardashian, Meghan didn't whip up the homemade lemon cake that was served at the party.
Instead, it came straight from Solvang Bakery, a popular spot known for its stunning gingerbread houses.
Kim insists she knows this for a fact, having previously ordered cakes from there for Archie.
“You can call and verify,” she said, emphasizing her connection to the bakery.
The story goes that on the morning of the cake order, an employee received a call from Meghan herself.
Claiming her royal title, Meghan introduced herself as “the Duchess of Sussex” and allegedly demanded a lemon birthday cake for her son, HRH Archie.
She even suggested that the bakery could consider the cost a donation to the Archule Foundation, which raised eyebrows among some observers.
Kardashian expressed her frustration over the situation, especially since the bakery often showcases elaborate creations that they sell.
She pointed out that the bakery's owner, a hardworking woman in her late 70s or 80s, deserves recognition for her craft rather than being used for free publicity.
Yet, despite the potential drama surrounding the request, the bakery owner remained unfazed, choosing not to cater to the couple's demands for freebies.
Many are questioning why Meghan, who has been in the spotlight for her lavish lifestyle, would attempt to get a cake for free.
Kardashian remarked on the irony of someone who spends extravagantly on designer dresses and private jets expecting a complimentary cake.
“It's a strange culture when those who have riches ask for handouts,” she noted, suggesting that such behavior feels more like begging than anything else.
The issue of entitlement seems to resonate with many, especially in times of economic hardship.
With inflation affecting everyday people, the idea of wealthy individuals asking for freebies strikes a nerve.
Kardashian's comments reflect a growing sentiment that those who have means should not take advantage of small businesses.
Meanwhile, during a recent Lakers game, Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, made headlines for their apparent avoidance of Prince Harry and Meghan.
The Duke and Duchess were also in attendance, but Kim and Kris chose to ignore them, despite being in close proximity.
Their decision not to greet the Sussexes has sparked speculation among fans about the underlying tension between the two high-profile families.
Some fans suggested that Meghan and Harry might have attended the game with the intention of drawing attention, knowing the Kardashians would be there.
The optics of their affectionate display on the big screen contrasted sharply with Kim and Kris's nonchalant demeanor, further fueling the narrative of rivalry.
As the drama unfolds, it's clear that the Kardashian-Jenner clan is cautious about their interactions with the Sussexes.
Kim reportedly wishes to avoid upsetting her fan base by engaging with Harry and Meghan, given the complex dynamics surrounding the couple's public image.
This ongoing saga raises questions about celebrity culture, entitlement, and the expectations placed on those in the public eye.
With both families navigating their own challenges, the interactions—or lack thereof—between them continue to captivate the media and the public alike.
