Meghan Markle’s Culinary Comeback Sparks Controversy
Meghan Markle is making waves again, this time with her new Netflix series titled With Love, Meghan.
The recently released trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse into the show, featuring star-studded appearances, picturesque visuals, and what seem to be genuine moments from the Duchess herself.
Yet, amidst the excitement, a cloud of skepticism looms over the authenticity of the recipes showcased in the series.
Viewers can't help but wonder if these culinary creations are truly Meghan's own.
With all her talk about being genuine and authentic, many expected something original from her.
Instead, social media is buzzing with questions about how many recipes she might borrow from Corey Vitiello, a celebrity chef and her former boyfriend before Prince Harry.
The timing of her newfound interest in “elevated yet simple” cuisine raises eyebrows, leading some to speculate whether it's more than just coincidence.
The trailer is filled with relatable moments that fans have come to expect from Meghan.
From her amusing mishap of squeezing lemon juice into her eye to a playful scene where she knocks over baked goods, it seems designed to resonate with everyday viewers.
And, of course, no episode would be complete without a heartwarming hug from Harry, both of them enjoying mimosas in a scene that feels straight out of a Pinterest board.
Hollywood friends like Mindy Kaling and Abigail Spencer also pop up, tasting Meghan's culinary delights.
Mindy even goes so far as to call it one of the most glamorous experiences of her life.
Really, Mindy?
A salad with Meghan outshines all those red carpet moments?
But let's not gloss over the elephant in the room: the allegations of recipe appropriation.
Critics have pointed out that Meghan has a penchant for borrowing ideas, raising concerns about her cookbook and now this new series.
Remember the Ladybug Caprese appetizer that stirred controversy back in 2018?
Many fans suspect it might make a return in With Love, Meghan.
For chefs like Corey Vitiello, crafting unique recipes is a labor of love.
If Meghan is indeed presenting someone else's work as her own, it crosses a line from unoriginality into outright fraud.
The question arises: why does Meghan feel the need to project an image of authenticity?
Everything from the bread to the butter seems to be labeled as “country” and “authentic.”
It feels almost forced, like she's trying too hard to convince us she's a self-made chef.
And let's not forget the inevitable references to her children.
Viewers can already picture touching stories about Archie and Lilibet helping in the kitchen, complete with charming shots of tiny hands sprinkling flour while Meghan beams with pride, as if she's running for a PTA position.
Then there's Meghan's previous claim of being 43% Nigerian.
Will the show feature traditional Nigerian dishes?
Perhaps she'll share a heartfelt monologue about teaching her kids to embrace their heritage through food?
Or will this be yet another opportunity missed, favoring glossy, Instagram-ready moments over genuine cultural representation?
As for Corey Vitiello, this could be his moment to speak out.
If Meghan is using his recipes without giving him credit, the public deserves to know.
