Gwyneth Paltrow’s Cooking Video Sparks Speculation of Subtle Dig at Meghan Markle
Fans are buzzing over Gwyneth Paltrow’s latest cooking video, with many convinced she subtly threw shade at Meghan Markle.
On Saturday, March 22, the Iron Man actress shared an Instagram clip showcasing her relaxed morning routine as she prepared breakfast. Dressed casually in striped pajamas and sporting a fresh, makeup-free look, Paltrow’s effortless charm caught the attention of her followers.
The video opened with Paltrow sipping her coffee while gazing directly into the camera. She then placed biscuits in the oven, performed a playful high kick, and affectionately kissed her dog. Moving on to the meal, she fried eggs, plated everything together, and proudly presented the finished dish—gluten-free buttermilk biscuits, over-easy eggs, crispy bacon, and jam.
“My cleaner take on a classic breakfast: gluten-free buttermilk biscuits, not-so-perfectly cooked over-easy eggs, and crispy bacon #boyfriendbreakfast,” she captioned the post, accompanied by Natalie Cole’s This Will Be (An Everlasting Love).
It didn’t take long for fans to speculate that the lifestyle guru’s video was a subtle jab at Meghan Markle, who recently displayed her own culinary skills in her Netflix series *With Love, Meghan*.
Social media quickly lit up with comparisons, as many praised Paltrow’s authenticity in her real kitchen—contrasting it with Markle’s alleged use of a rental home for filming.
“Gwyneth Paltrow continues to throw shade, and I’m here for it! No makeup, just her actual kitchen,” one fan commented. Another chimed in, “No fake house, fake kitchen, fake hair extensions, fake friends… just your beautiful true self.”
Earlier this month, Paltrow addressed Markle’s new lifestyle rebrand during an interview with Vanity Fair. When asked about Meghan’s latest venture, she diplomatically stated, “Everybody deserves an attempt at everything they want to try.”
She also emphasized that she was raised to view “other women as friends, not foes” and naturally feels inclined to support women facing public scrutiny.
Whether or not the video was intended as a dig, the internet has certainly run with the theory—further fueling the ongoing comparisons between the two lifestyle entrepreneurs.
