Meghan Markle’s latest controversy is as absurd as ever. The self-proclaimed lifestyle guru and breakfast enthusiast has once again found herself at the center of speculation—this time, over waffles.
Specifically, the ones she supposedly made for St. Patrick’s Day and proudly showcased on Instagram. What was likely intended as a charming holiday post quickly turned into yet another internet debate. In the video, Meghan energetically whisked a bowl of bright green batter before pouring it into what appeared to be an immaculate, barely-used Cuisinart Belgian waffle maker. However, eagle-eyed royal watchers and online sleuths were quick to notice a glaring inconsistency.
The waffles served to Archie and Lilibet looked nothing like the ones her waffle maker should have produced. Designed to create deep-ridged, four-section waffles, Meghan’s appliance should have yielded a distinctive pattern. Yet, the ones on the children’s plates were completely smooth, lacking ridges or sections—suspiciously flat and almost too uniform, as if they had been store-bought. Could it be that Meghan Markle, the same woman who distanced herself from royal life in pursuit of privacy only to launch a full-scale media campaign, faked her homemade waffles?
Adding to the mystery, the waffles in the video seemed to undergo a peculiar transformation. At the start, Archie and Lilibet’s portions appeared round, yet by the end, the adult serving had miraculously become square. Was this some next-level kitchen sorcery or just another example of Meghan getting caught in an unnecessary fib? It’s a recurring pattern—she struggles to decide whether she wants to embody the polished, perfectly curated lifestyle brand or the down-to-earth, relatable home cook. Instead, she awkwardly teeters between both personas, leaving audiences exhausted.
Then there’s her kitchen—a perpetually dim, moody setting reminiscent of a gothic novel. Every time she films in there, it feels less like a warm, inviting cooking session and more like she’s preparing a meal by candlelight in a crypt. For the sake of social media aesthetics, perhaps it’s time she invests in a proper studio setup—or even hires a professional content creator. At this point, she’s essentially an influencer, even if she refuses to admit it.
Is this the most scandalous thing to hit the Sussex brand? No. Is it one of the most ridiculous? Absolutely. Whether Meghan actually made those waffles remains a mystery only she can solve. But one thing is clear—if you’re going to fake it, at least put in the effort to cover your tracks. So next time, Meghan, before putting on a performance for Instagram, double-check your props. And for the love of breakfast, if you're going to pretend, at least make sure your fake waffles match the waffle maker. Even influencers know that much.
