Meghan Markle’s Lemon Tart Stunt Steals the Spotlight—Again
Just when you thought Meghan Markle’s self-centered antics had hit their limit, she’s back with another gem: a lemon tart. Because nothing says “Happy UK Mother’s Day”—not U.S. Mother’s Day, mind you, where she actually lives—like baking a dessert and calling it a sacred family tradition. The irony’s thicker than the tart’s crust, which, let’s be real, probably isn’t saying much. In true Meghan fashion, she hopped on Instagram—comments off, naturally—to flaunt this “tribute to motherhood.” The pic? Perfectly posed, featuring a tiny hand clutching the plate. But hold up—since when are lemon tarts her thing?
Seriously, who knew this was a “family tradition”? It’s not like the Markles were churning out citrus classics back in the day, and it’s definitely not a British royal vibe—think Victoria sponge or scones, not some zesty tart. Historical accuracy’s never stopped a good PR flex, though, and Meghan’s timing is spot-on. Princess Catherine drops a heartfelt Mother’s Day nod, and boom, here comes Meghan, barging in with her baked goods and a blatant grab for attention. If only she put half that energy into patching things up with actual family instead of staging Insta-moments—she might not be persona non grata on so many fronts.
Speaking of family, which one’s she even talking about here? The Markles, who she’s famously ghosted? The British royals, who she and Harry have been trashing nonstop? Or her little California crew, where she’s the only one bothering with UK Mother’s Day? Meanwhile, her latest Netflix fling, With Love, Meghan, landed with a thud—think sour lemons, not sweet success. Critics and viewers are scratching their heads, wondering why it exists and who it’s for. After the lukewarm reviews, this tart feels like a classic distraction play.
Give her this, though: Meghan’s nothing if not predictable. She’s reliably tone-deaf, always ready to elbow her way into the chat—wanted or not—and stuck believing we’re all still obsessed with her every move. Diplomacy’s not her forte, but hogging headlines? She’s a pro, even if it’s forced and reeks of try-hard. So, Happy Mother’s Day, Meghan—or should we say, Happy “Make It About Me” Day? Here’s hoping that tart fares better than her latest PR swing. If not, there’s always next year to cook up something new.
