Meghan Markle is facing accusations that her new Netflix lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan, is too similar to Pamela Anderson’s Pamela’s Cooking With Love. Markle is also facing a legal issue in California.
Royal expert Ian Pelham Turner pointed out that Markle’s series, which features celebrity guests in her Montecito home’s kitchen and garden, has drawn comparisons to Anderson’s show. Some critics, including British commentator Neil Sean, claim Markle copied Anderson’s format, even showing side-by-side shots of similar moments, like both women high-fiving guests.
However, a source close to Anderson reportedly said she’s not upset and sees the situation as free publicity for her show. Anderson has no plans for legal action and wishes Markle well.
Entertainment analyst Helena Chard explained that Netflix likely used a proven formula to ensure success, and while Markle may have taken inspiration from Anderson, it’s unfair to say she completely copied her. Chard believes Markle’s show will attract viewers due to public curiosity and her status as Prince Harry’s wife.
In the end, while the two shows share similarities, Anderson remains unbothered, and experts suggest Markle can still make her series stand out by focusing on authenticity.
