Just hours after Meghan Markle released the trailer for her upcoming Netflix series With Love, Meghan, critics accused her of poaching recipes. Some compared her 'Caprese Bruschetta' to similar recipes; others spotted a resemblance to a YouTube cooking show hosted by the Marchioness of Bath; and her beekeeping at the California estate was noted as one of sister-in-law Kate's hobbies.

In the trailer, the Duchess hosted celebrity chefs and famous friends, including Mindy Kaling, as she prepared a range of perfectly presented dishes to The Lovin' Spoonful's Do You Believe in Magic. In one clip from the kitchen of the rented Montecito mansion, Meghan, who told viewers she would share 'some little tips and tricks', made a 'Ladybug'-themed appetiser.

However, upset viewers said that recipes for the dish have been around since 2015 on dozens of food blogs and Pinterest pages, the US lifestyle magazine First For Women in 2018, and the popular TikTok account Home Cooks World in 2023. Other viewers compared scenes from the trailer to those in the YouTube cooking show, 'Emma's Kitchen', hosted by marchioness and chef Emma Weymouth.
The Celebrity MasterChef contestant, formally Emma Thynn, Marchioness of Bath, shares videos of her creations after launching the brand in 2015, using original kitchens within Longleat House as a backdrop. But while onlookers complain that the Duchess of Sussex's culinary ideas are not wholly original, many celebrity chefs argue it's difficult to find one that is.
