Meghan Markle has been hit with copyright claims over her upcoming Netflix cooking show, With Love, Meghan.
According to a new report, the Duchess of Sussex has been met with criticism over its striking similarities to other programs and celebrity projects, including Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop website, Martha Stewart’s books and TV shows, and Pippa Middleton’s party-planning book Celebrate.
She has also been accused of borrowing ideas from Emma’s Kitchen, a YouTube cooking show hosted by Emma Weymouth, the Marchioness of Bath, as well as a recipe from a 2018 US lifestyle magazine.
“People have noticed it looks like the stuff Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop website puts out, as well as Martha Stewart’s books and TV shows,” a source told New Idea Magazine.
“It also looks as if Meghan has been inspired by Pippa Middleton’s party-planning book Celebrate,” they added.
“Had Netflix and Meghan done a little more research, some of the more obvious double-ups could’ve been avoided,” they added. “Instead, their inclusions have exposed Meghan to a huge backlash.”
The publication further shared that while there is no suggestion that Meghan deliberately copied others, but the claims have “soured the reception to her latest project.”
“She’ll be fuming about the reaction,” added the insider.
