Meghan Markle once again finds herself caught up in a web of contradictions, this time over something as trivial as waffles. What should have been a simple, festive St. Patrick’s Day breakfast turned into yet another display of her well-documented inauthenticity.
On March 17th, she took to Instagram to share a series of videos, supposedly showcasing her breakfast-making skills. The clips featured green waffles, an assortment of fruit, and a curiously mismatched waffle iron. Her caption set the scene for a wholesome morning, but the details quickly unraveled into yet another questionable narrative.
In the footage, Meghan is seen stirring a green batter and pouring it into a waffle maker, as if preparing a festive treat for Harry and their children. However, observant viewers immediately noticed inconsistencies. The waffles she proudly presented at the end of the process did not match the grid pattern of the waffle iron she used. Her iron had four sections, yet the final product was suspiciously smooth, round, and completely devoid of any distinguishing grid marks. This discrepancy raised the obvious question—where did these waffles actually come from? Were they store-bought? Lifted from Google Images? A case of staged breakfast deception? The details simply didn’t add up.
Harry once boasted that Meghan makes an organic waffle mix, but based on the evidence at hand, the only organic element in sight was the can of Ready Whip she lazily squirted onto the plate. Any true foodie—whether it be Ina Garten, Martha Stewart, or even Sandra Lee with her semi-homemade approach—would be appalled at the effort, or lack thereof. The way she scattered a few blueberries, kiwi slices, and canned whipped cream onto the plate as decoration was less artistic and more reminiscent of a Pinterest fail. Even more concerning were her knife skills, or complete lack of them, as she hacked away at the kiwi with reckless abandon. Someone needs to get her a plastic knife before she causes further harm to innocent fruit.
If Meghan can't be truthful about something as simple as waffles, what does that say about the rest of her carefully curated public image? This is the same woman who, alongside Harry, produced an entire Netflix docuseries centered around authenticity, aesthetics, and the perfect food spreads. Yet, when left to her own devices on Instagram, she delivers a breakfast that looks more like a hostage situation than a homemade meal. And the most baffling part? She didn’t even attempt to make it look appealing. A self-proclaimed foodie—one who once had a cooking blog—should, at the very least, know how to whip up fresh cream or cut fruit properly. But here we are, with a presentation so underwhelming that it defies expectations in the worst way possible.
It’s understandable that Meghan wants to seem relatable, but when even her breakfast lacks authenticity, it might be time to take a step back. Was this just a case of poor Instagram storytelling, or was it full-blown waffle fraud? Either way, her St. Patrick’s Day breakfast was less of a festive feast and more of a culinary crime scene. Next time, it would be far less embarrassing to just admit to using store-bought waffles—like the rest of us.
