TROLLS have accused Meghan Markle of ripping off a food blogger in her Netflix series.
The Duchess of Sussex’s With Love, Meghan cookery programme landed this morning – and features the royal catching up with pals and showing off her kitchen skills.
The recipe was compared to another food blogger, also called Meg[/caption]
Across eight 33-minute episodes the mum-of-two made jokes about her bacon, shared recipes with pals, learnt from celeb chefs and even became emotional over bees.
Now, one person has accused the Duchess of Sussex of copying LA-based food blogger Meg Quinn who posts under “Ain’t too proud Meg”.
In her Netflix show, Meghan is seen in the kitchen explaining how to lay out fruit to make a “Fruit Rainbow.”
But the social media account pointed out that the Duchess had simply ripped off Quinn’s exact recipe and layout.
The critical post read: “Meghan Markle copied food blogger Ain’t too proud to Meg.
“She couldn’t even change up some of the fruits!”
Another post said that Meghan had resorted to “copying other people’s ideas as she has no ideas of her own”.
It is not the first time the Duchess of Sussex has been accused of copying others, whether in the trailer for With Love, Meghan or the finished Netflix production.
It comes after Meghan was accused of copying Pamela Anderson’s cooking show.
Fans compared the trailer for the duchess’ series to Anderson’s series, “Pamela’s Cooking With Love,” which premiered recently.
The two former TV stars live more than a thousand miles apart, yet both are smiling and giggling in brightly lit country kitchens, filming aspirational cooking with photogenic friends and famous chefs.
Both shows have almost indistinguishable themes, shots, language and behaviours including almost identical opening sequences.
The hosts both walk into the garden, look at the plants before waving to the chefs and their loved ones to join them in the kitchen.
Unfortunately for Meg, her show was also described by social media users as the “FAKEST stuff ever” and “only for the richest people”.
“All of Meghan Markle’s “recipes” can be found on Pinterest,” claimed someone else.
She also mimicks Fred Flintsone by pulling out a fish bone and saying “yabadabadoo” during a cooking session with pals Abigail Spencer and Kelly Zafjen.

- The Duchess goes onto share a touchy feely moment with Prince Harry, who appears briefly

In other moments during the show, Meghan at one point jokes that “my bacon brings all the boys to the yard”.
She also says when she cooks the salty meat Harry and the three dogs suddenly appear in the kitchen.
The duchess, while arranging some flowers, later produces a makeshift bin to put any rubbish in and says she is such a clean freak her daughter Lilibet has made up a song called “clean as you go” which the royal then does a brief rendition of.
In one bizarre moment, Meg gets flustered and tells her guest Alice Waters “I feel like you’re watching me fall in love” as she eats a turnip.
She also reveals the music she listens to most includes yacht rock and French dinner party tunes.
Friend Mindy Kaling asks image-conscious Meg about her “look” but the duchess has no idea what she means before saying in a funny accent: “Oh my, look, she likes my look!”
In the same exchange, she then corrects Mindy who referred to her as “Meghan Markle”, saying she’s a “Sussex” now, adding: “This is our family name.”
During one episode she also reveals how she grew up on fast food and TV dinners, admitting she ate “a lot of Taco Bell, Jack in the Box”.
