The Meghan Markle saga has once again reached new levels of absurdity. This time, the self-proclaimed lifestyle guru and breakfast enthusiast has sparked controversy over—of all things—waffles.
What was likely intended to be a charming holiday post quickly turned into yet another social media spectacle. To mark St. Patrick’s Day, Meghan shared a video of herself enthusiastically whipping up a vibrant green waffle batter, which she then poured into what appeared to be a brand-new, high-end Cuisinart Belgian waffle maker. The goal was clear: to showcase her festive homemade breakfast for her family.
However, eagle-eyed internet sleuths wasted no time dissecting the details, and something was undeniably off. The waffles served to Archie and Lilibet bore no resemblance to the ones that should have emerged from her waffle maker. Her particular appliance produces deep-ridged waffles divided into four distinct sections, yet the ones on their plates were oddly smooth, completely flat, and devoid of any sections—suspiciously resembling store-bought varieties. To add another layer of intrigue, the waffles started out round at the beginning of the video but somehow transformed into a square adult portion by the end. Was this some kind of culinary sorcery, or just another instance of Meghan getting caught in a minor, but oddly revealing, fabrication?
This is a pattern that has played out before. Meghan often seems unable to settle on an identity—does she want to be the polished, aspirational lifestyle mogul or the relatable, chaotic home cook just like the rest of us? Instead, she awkwardly oscillates between the two, leaving audiences fatigued by the inconsistency. To make matters worse, the perpetual dimness of her kitchen, reminiscent of a Gothic novel setting, does little to enhance her credibility. Every time she films in that shadowy space, it looks less like a warm, inviting cooking scene and more like she’s preparing a meal in an underground bunker. Someone, for the sake of social media aesthetics, should gift her a proper lighting setup—or perhaps even a professional content creator to guide her. After all, at this point, she’s essentially an influencer, albeit one who refuses to admit it.
Of course, this isn’t the most scandalous controversy to rock the Sussex brand, but it might just be the most ridiculous. Whether Meghan actually made those waffles herself is a mystery only she can solve, but one lesson is clear: if you’re going to fake it, at least do a better job of covering your tracks. So next time, Meghan, before staging another Instagram performance, double-check the details. And for the love of breakfast, make sure your props align—because even the most amateur influencers understand the importance of consistency.
