Meghan Markle has faced backlash after dropping St. Patrick’s Day breakfast videos, as critics question whether the green waffles were homemade via Yahoo.
Keen-eyed viewers claimed the waffle maker used by the Duchess of Sussex might not have been what produced the waffles shown in the clips due to their patterns. Despite the controversy, Meghan Markle has launched a new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, next month with Lemonada Media.
Meghan has been the target of a fresh wave of criticism after sharing a homemade St. Patrick’s Day breakfast with her children.
The Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram on Monday, posting a series of clips of her and Prince Harry’s kids, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, making green waffles from scratch.
“About this morning…” she captioned a video of herself stirring the batter, adding, “We love a theme” alongside a shot of matching green drinks.
However, some social media users weren’t convinced that the waffles were actually homemade.
Some viewers pointed out that the finished waffles looked different from the ones that should have come out of the equipment she used.
“Did you see that what she put in the maker is not how the waffle would [look] if she indeed cooked them,” one person commented.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), another critic accused Meghan of unnecessary deception, writing, “Meghan Markle’s relentless compulsion to lie about everything is baffling — even over something as trivial as a waffle.
She posted a video of herself using a waffle maker with a divider, yet the so-called ‘homemade’ waffle she presented looked exactly like a store-bought one, missing the dividers that should have been there.
According to People Magazine, the waffle maker spotted in Meghan’s St. Patrick’s Day video may have had a special connection to the late Queen Elizabeth.
