Meghan Markle is widely known for her royal stature and now, for the Netflix series With Love, Meghan. However, the show is stirring controversy, as several celebrity chefs and TV kitchen queens have accused her of copying their ideas. The names include Martha Stewart, Rachael Ray, Joanna Gaines, and more.

According to RadarOnline.com, these culinary icons are ready to roast Markle.

"They're appalled and saying that Meghan's got a lot of nerve," a source told the outlet.

For those unversed, Meghan Markle cooked a one-pan pasta dish with cherry tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, arugula, and Parmesan cheese in the first episode of her show.

However, controversy sparked when Markle failed to credit Martha Stewart, despite the dish closely resembling one of Stewart’s signature recipes. In response, Stewart subtly called attention to it by highlighting the original recipe on her website with the cheeky headline, “The original and the best!”

Sources who spoke to the outlet also revealed that Martha Stewart is "steaming mad" over Meghan Markle allegedly copying her dish.

"If Meghan had at least mentioned Martha and her recipe being the original, that would have gone a long way to making things right," the source added.

Another such incident stems from Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand. Initially launched as American Riviera Orchard, it was later renamed to As Ever. The brand is now being called a rip-off of Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia.

While Gaines has not addressed the matter publicly, insiders claim the lifestyle guru is quietly fuming over the similarities. “Gaines is too polite to say anything publicly, but she’s taken aback that so much of her playbook is being recreated—to put it kindly,” the source added.

Many have also alleged that Meghan Markle’s show copied several segments from Pamela Anderson’s Pamela’s Cooking with Love—some even claiming it was done shot for shot.

Among all the kitchen queens, Gwyneth Paltrow was the only one to show support for the royal member.
