Meghan Markle faces backlash as fans call out similarities to Pamela Anderson’s lifestyle show
It appears that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is facing yet another controversy as she gears up for the launch of her new Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan.” Fans have been quick to point out the uncanny similarities between her show and Pamela Anderson’s cooking series, “Pamela’s Cooking with Love.”
The accusations of copying stem from the striking parallels between the two shows, from the similar names (both featuring “with love” in the title) to the visuals of the trailers. Both trailers showcase the leading ladies in their gardens, picking fresh produce and collaborating with renowned chefs in the kitchen.
While Anderson’s show focuses on plant-based cooking and creating the perfect setting, Meghan’s series delves into cooking, lifestyle, and hosting. Despite the slight differences in themes, netizens have not held back in criticizing Meghan for allegedly copying Anderson’s concept.
Some individuals have come to Meghan’s defense, arguing that all lifestyle shows share common elements and that the similarities may have been purely coincidental. Given the close release dates and production schedules, it is plausible that Meghan was already working on her promo video when Anderson’s show was unveiled.
The negative reception to “With Love, Meghan” follows a string of controversies surrounding the Duchess. Recently, her lifestyle brand, As Ever, faced backlash for allegedly copying the name of a New York clothing company. Additionally, accusations of plagiarism were hurled at Meghan for incorporating a Mallorcan town’s coat of arms into her brand’s logo.
Despite the criticisms, Meghan remains poised to launch her new series on Netflix on March 4. The Duchess has made a return to social media after a five-year hiatus to promote the show, showcasing her passion for cooking and entertaining.
As the countdown to the premiere of “With Love, Meghan” continues, it remains to be seen how the Duchess will navigate the ongoing controversies and win over audiences with her unique take on lifestyle and cooking content.
