Meghan has once again found herself tangled in accusations of plagiarism, and this time, it’s in the kitchen. The Duchess of Sussex is being accused of stealing from none other than Ina Garten, the queen of home cooking.
In the promo for *With Love, Meghan*, she is seen hosting a star-studded guest list, including Mindy Kaling and Abigail Spencer, while preparing “elevated” dishes. Because why settle for ordinary when you can just borrow from Ina Garten? Meghan, with her supposed culinary wisdom, declares, “I’ve always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it.”
Well, isn’t that just precious? Turns out that quote is almost verbatim from Ina Garten, who has been saying for years, “I love to take something ordinary and make it really special.” This wouldn’t be such a big deal if Meghan wasn’t trying to pass it off as her own groundbreaking idea.
Netflix, are you seriously this oblivious? Did no one think to check if their new star was recycling quotes from established chefs? Honestly, Netflix seems to be becoming a hotbed for questionable ideas. If this hasn’t been marked yet, just wait; there’s probably a lawsuit looming.
Ina Garten, the beloved Barefoot Contessa, has built an empire on her knowledge of cooking, entertaining, and creating a welcoming atmosphere for her fans. She’s got her own kitchen, her own show, and a library of cookbooks. In contrast, Meghan Markle—who still can’t seem to land a steady job despite her royal marriage—has decided to “elevate” the art of kitchen magic by, well, copying from the best.
It’s laughable when you think about it. Meghan’s success in the food world isn’t thanks to her culinary genius or a food blog. Oh no, it’s because she married a prince and is now riding that wave of fame—which apparently includes lifting ideas from the likes of Garten and trying to make them her own. Don’t you just love how everything Meghan does seems to be a direct copy of someone else? Whether it’s a catchy slogan, an image, or even a thought, she’s sure to have borrowed it from someone with actual experience.
We all know Meghan’s really trying to be the next Ina Garten or Martha Stewart, but the truth is, she’s failing spectacularly. Why? Because she lacks the authentic charm or credibility that made those women household names. She’s like a second-rate version of a celebrity chef—think Giada De Laurentiis with less personality and even fewer skills.
And it’s not just about stealing quotes. The whole setup is a sham. A real professional chef like Ina Garten has a sprawling estate, a stunning kitchen, and a well-oiled team to help pull off those gorgeous dishes. Meanwhile, Meghan Markle’s culinary genius appears to consist of setting up a few beautiful platters and calling it a day.
Honestly, watching Meghan try to compete with the likes of Ina Garten is like watching a toddler attempt to play Beethoven on a piano. Good luck with that. Meghan’s attempt at copying Ina Garten’s vibe is so painfully transparent it’s almost embarrassing.
If you thought Meghan was going to be the next big thing in the culinary world, brace yourself for a major crash and burn. She’s not charming enough to pull it off, and her lack of authenticity is glaring. The public craves genuine figures, and Meghan’s track record of copying others doesn’t exactly scream authenticity.
In the end, we all know what’s happening here. Meghan Markle is trying to replicate Ina Garten’s success, but with a superficial twist—and it’s downright cringeworthy. At the very least, Netflix should have done some basic due diligence before handing her a platform to recycle someone else’s career. But at this point, Meghan’s going to Meghan. Everything she does seems calculated and borrowed, leaving little room for anything original.
