<p id=”par-9_17″>“This woman has no original idea!” one person posted, adding, “This is a copy of<em> Emma’s Kitchen</em>.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_44″>A second person chimed in: “Meghan is caught copying Lady Emma. Netflix please give Lady Emma, The Marchioness of Bath her own cooking show. She also participated in Masterchef UK!! She’s Nigerian, she’s beautiful, genuine and talented cook. She’s an all around family-oriented woman.”</p>

She’s also the creator Markle stole content from.” </p>
<p id=”par-12_95″>Moreover, the <a href=”https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14246497/Meghan-Markle-Netflix-comparisons-Kate-Middleton.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Daily Mail</a> blared a headline that read: “So where DID you get your ideas from Meghan? Viewers spot all the scenes in Duchess’ new cookery show that feel familiar — from Marchioness of Bath to ladybug Bruschetta and Kate.” The outlet suggested that not only did <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/prince-harry-was-able-to-marry-meghan-markle-because-she-didnt-do-this-1-thing-in-her-past.html/”>Harry’s wife</a> rip off ideas from Emma but also her sister-in-law, Kate, when it comes to beekeeping as one viewer said: “You know who keeps bees?
