This week Netflix released the trailer for Meghan Markel's new lifestyle series, "With Love, Meghan [click here if you missed that]."
Now there are whispers Meghan may have copied some ideas...
From The Daily Mail
In her new Netflix series, Meghan Markle invites friends and famous guests to a California estate where she shares cooking, gardening and hosting tips.
But if it all feels very familiar, eagle-eyed viewers have already spotted a series of similarities to old recipes and other shows just hours after the trailer came out.
Some have compared her 'Ladybug Caprese Bruschetta' to similar recipes; others spotted a similarity to a YouTube cooking show hosted by the Marchioness of Bath; and her beekeeping was noted for also being one of Kate's favourite hobbies.
In the trailer for 'With Love, Meghan', the Duchess hosts celebrity chefs and famous friends including Mindy Kaling and Abigail Spencer as she prepares a range of perfectly presented dishes to a soundtrack of The Lovin' Spoonful's Do You Believe in Magic.
In one clip from the kitchen of the rented $5m reality TV Montecito mansion where the show is set, Meghan, who tells viewers she'll share 'some little tips and tricks', makes a 'Ladybug'-themed appetiser.
However, viewers noted that recipes for the dish have been around since 2015 on dozens of food blogs and Pinterest pages.
They also feature in the US lifestyle magazine First For Women in 2018 and the popular TikTok account Home Cooks World in 2023.
The ingredients in the latter's recipe are a baguette, pesto, mozzarella, basil, cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, sesame seeds and olive oil. First for Women meanwhile said the dish was 'packed with mood-boosting calcium and energising antioxidants'.
Another part of the trailer showed Meghan trying beekeeping – but some royal fans pointed out that this is also one of her sister-in-law Kate's longtime hobbies.
The Princess of Wales was photographed happily tending to a hive at Anmer Hall in Norfolk in an image released in May 2023 to mark World Bee Day.
