Meghan Markle Accused of Copying Spencer Honeysuckle Tiara for ARO Logo
It’s no surprise that Meghan Markle is once again under scrutiny, this time for allegedly borrowing from the Spencer Honeysuckle Tiara design for her ARO logo. To many, this looks like just another instance in a long history of Meghan drawing inspiration (or perhaps more accurately, copying) from others.
If you take a closer look at the design of the American Riviera Orchard (ARO) logo, the resemblance to the Spencer Honeysuckle Tiara is impossible to ignore. The flourish at the top of the logo mirrors the honeysuckle motif on the tiara, right down to the seven petals. It’s as if Meghan plucked the design straight from the family jewels, and frankly, that might not be far from the truth. While honeysuckle motifs are found in various royal jewelry pieces, the exact number of petals—seven—corresponds directly to the Spencer Tiara. Coincidence? Hardly. It’s like saying you “thought it was a stray cat” after taking your neighbor’s pet—don’t buy it.
Meghan and Harry have long been associated with Princess Diana's legacy, though mostly in a self-serving way. They've consistently tried to convince the public, and perhaps themselves, that they’re at ease with the Spencer family. But let’s not pretend this isn't a little too convenient: Meghan launched ARO’s Instagram page just as Prince William was gearing up to present at the 25th Diana Awards. That’s a clue you can’t ignore.
The Spencer family, while possessing three iconic tiaras, often refers to the Honeysuckle Tiara as a "forgotten" middle child. Diana rarely wore it, except in a few photoshopped images, but it remains part of her family’s legacy. Imagine the scene at the Spencer household when Earl Spencer finds out that Meghan is out there flaunting a logo that looks suspiciously like one of his family’s prized tiaras. He's probably seething into his afternoon tea.
It’s clear that Meghan has been trying to align herself with Diana for a while now, and this logo design seems like another attempt to link her image to the late princess. If you look at it through Meghan’s lens, it’s as if there’s a checklist: Step one—wear something that resembles Diana’s wardrobe. Step two—launch something that echoes a royal tiara motif. Step three—convince Harry that it's all destiny.
It’s honestly not shocking, though. This is the same Meghan Markle who has made a habit of borrowing ideas from others. Whether you call it a lack of originality or a blatant ripoff, it’s become her trademark. You almost can’t be mad about it anymore—it’s like watching the same bad movie over and over again.
As for the logo itself? It’s a mess. It’s not even real calligraphy—more like a hurried scribble passed off as art. Meghan likely thought, “I'll just scribble something down and call it creative.” The only thing she’s really creating is a mockery of true artistry. And, funnily enough, the logo doesn’t even have an “O” in it. So, in Meghan’s world, ARO must stand for American Royal Orchard, with a “royal” look that’s unmistakable. She probably slapped on that random flourish hoping no one would notice, but clearly, Earl Spencer did.
The whole thing screams a half-baked attempt at creating something original. It’s a poor imitation, one that no one with even a basic eye for design could mistake for originality. At this point, you have to wonder if Meghan’s mind is just a vault of ideas she’s borrowed from others. There’s no fun in poking fun at it anymore—there’s nothing new, nothing substantive, just regurgitated royal designs and poorly executed concepts.
In the end, Meghan may consider herself an "artist," but when it comes to originality, she’s more of a master at borrowing other people’s sparkle.
