Meghan Markle's Netflix Cooking Show Sparks Legal Drama with Emma Thynn
Word on the street is that Meghan Markle’s upcoming Netflix cooking extravaganza, *With Love, Meghan*, is stirring up more than just recipes. The show has been accused of borrowing heavily from the recipes and aesthetics of high-society influencer Emma Thynn, the Marchioness of Bath. And Emma? She’s not taking it lightly—her lawyers are reportedly on standby.
Fans of both Meghan and Emma were quick to point out striking similarities between the trailer for Meghan’s show and Emma’s well-known culinary style. From the bee-friendly vibes to the down-to-earth cooking approach, it didn’t take long for the internet to notice that Meghan’s aesthetic feels a little too familiar. And by familiar, we mean *exactly* like Emma’s Instagram and YouTube series, down to her signature beekeeping gear and flower-adorned aprons.
For those who don’t know, Emma Thynn has been serving up her culinary charm for years through her popular YouTube series, *Emma’s Kitchen*, which boasts over 54,000 subscribers. Emma, who holds the title of Britain’s first Black Marchioness, launched her food brand at the iconic Longleat Estate—also home to one of the UK’s most famous safari parks. Her cooking style? A perfect blend of simplicity and elegance, complete with fresh flowers and classic British desserts like the Victoria sponge.
Speaking of the Victoria sponge, here’s where it gets even juicier: Emma recently posted not one but *two* videos of herself making the dessert after the release of Meghan’s trailer. Coincidence? Fans don’t think so. Let’s not forget that the Victoria sponge is quintessentially British—a staple of tea time culture—and not something you’d typically find on an American menu.
Adding fuel to the fire, rumors have surfaced that Emma is prepared to take legal action against Netflix and Meghan Markle for what she perceives as a blatant rip-off. According to sources, Emma’s frustration is more than understandable. As a trailblazer who’s faced her own challenges in the public eye, seeing her ideas allegedly appropriated by someone with a controversial Hollywood past must sting.
Imagine this: you’ve worked hard to establish yourself as a culinary icon, only for someone else to borrow your entire brand and repackage it as their own. It’s no wonder Emma is reportedly gearing up for a legal fight. This isn’t just a case of two chefs accidentally wearing the same apron—this cuts much deeper.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle’s relationship with the British royal family continues to add layers to the drama. Some speculate that her new show is an attempt to lean into her royal ties, despite her well-documented criticism of the monarchy. Is Meghan trying to have her cake and eat it too? Or is this just another chapter in her complicated journey with the concept of royalty?
Whatever the case, one thing is certain: Emma Thynn isn’t backing down. If there’s anyone who can ensure that Meghan’s royal culinary adventures don’t turn into a full-blown copycat scandal, it’s the Marchioness of Bath herself.
