In a surprising twist, Meghan Markle is stepping into the spotlight with her first solo series for Netflix, but not everyone is excited about it.
Critics are already predicting that this venture could turn into one of the most tedious reality shows to date.
Instead of drawing viewers in, many believe audiences will be switching off in droves.
Recently, a host from the Rita Patani show shared their skepticism with GB News, suggesting that just because Meghan has experience as an actress doesn’t necessarily mean she can transition into the realm of reality television or cooking shows.
Speaking of cooking, it seems Meghan is eager to showcase her culinary skills, which she reportedly developed during her time with Canadian chef Corey Vitiello.
As Meghan embarks on this new project, there’s a buzz surrounding a lemon olive oil cake recipe that she’s claimed as her own.
However, before we applaud her baking prowess, some are raising eyebrows at the possibility that this recipe might have been lifted from her ex-boyfriend’s collection.
Once a beloved couple in Toronto, Meghan and Corey shared an intense romance until Prince Harry entered the picture, prompting Meghan to swap her culinary apron for royal duties.
Corey Vitiello, an Italian-Canadian chef known for his work at Cactus Club Café, was quite the catch.
Their two-year relationship was still in its twilight when Meghan met Harry, yet they were living together at the time.
Tom Bauer’s book reveals that just weeks after Meghan and Harry’s initial date on July 1, 2016, Harry made a secret trip to Toronto.
During this visit, he stayed at a friend’s place—likely that of Jessica Mulroney—while Meghan was still cohabiting with Corey.
After Harry returned to London, Meghan felt a strong sense that her future was now intertwined with the prince, leading her to inform Corey that their relationship had come to an end.
Interestingly, Vitiello reportedly felt a sense of relief, as the final stretch of their romance had been far from blissful.
But it seems that Meghan didn’t just leave with memories; she may have taken Corey’s lemon olive oil cake recipe too.
This isn’t merely a minor culinary faux pas; it feels more like a significant misappropriation, casting doubt on Meghan’s originality in the kitchen.
The recipe itself is a variation of a classic dish that most Italian grandmothers would recognize, raising questions about the notion of recipe ownership.
Meghan’s culinary journey appears to have begun when she absorbed aspects of Corey’s life while documenting her experiences on a blog.
Throughout this period, she leaned heavily on the connections she built through her public relations endeavors, with Corey becoming a key resource in her culinary exploration.
Her Instagram posts often mirrored trends established by Corey, including the popular practice of serving food on wooden cutting boards, a signature style of his restaurants.
Moreover, Corey was known for his standout roast chicken recipes and his fondness for morning smoothies.
It’s curious how Meghan suddenly developed a penchant for morning smoothies around that time, echoing Corey’s preferences.
This pattern of adopting others’ ideas raises eyebrows about her creative authenticity.
It’s become increasingly apparent that Meghan has a tendency to borrow from those around her, whether it be ideas, speeches, or recipes.
Originality seems to elude her grasp, leaving her reliant on the creativity of others.
The act of appropriating a recipe, especially from someone she once loved, feels like a betrayal of sorts, further complicating her public persona.
