Meghan Markle trolled by Brits for being unoriginal on her new Netflix show
Article content
Meghan Markle is being accused of copying some Royal or otherwise British ideas for her new lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan, which debuts on Netflix on Jan. 15.
The premise is that Markle invites friends and famous guests to a California estate — not hers and Harry’s incidentally but a rented $5-million Montecito mansion — where she shares cooking, gardening and hosting tips.

But some have already spotted similarities to British shows and Royal habits just after the trailer came out, the U.K. Daily Mail reported.
Meghan’s show is said to be similar to a YouTube cooking show hosted by the Marchioness of Bath; and her beekeeping is also one of sister-in-law Catherine’s and mother-in-law Queen Camilla’s favourite hobbies.
One viewer posted on X: “If anyone wanted to read between the lines, this is yet another opportunity for Netflix, (Netflix co-founder) Reed Hastings and Markle to continue trolling the British monarchy, since all Meghan is trying to do is to imitate an English lifestyle, dressing and keeping bees like Catherine.”
Another wrote that it was “something the King, Prince William and Princess Catherine been doing for years — no, a beekeeper she’s not. Copied that off the royals.”
And a third said: “And you know who keeps bees? Princess Catherine at her home in Amner Hall. It’s one of her passions. Meghan has never had an original idea ever.”
Other viewers compared scenes from Meghan’s show trailer to those in the YouTube cooking show Emma’s Kitchen hosted by marchioness and chef Emma Weymouth.
One observer wrote: “Why is Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex trying to channel Emma Thynn, Marchioness of Bath? TBH, Emma seems more natural while Meghan often seems like she’s acting from a script. I think Meghan should focus strictly on charity work.”
Another added: “This woman has no original idea! This is a copy of Emma’s Kitchen!”
