Just when you thought the Meghan Markle saga couldn’t get any more absurd, here we are. The self-proclaimed lifestyle guru and breakfast enthusiast has once again found herself at the center of controversy—this time, over waffles. Specifically, the ones she allegedly made for St. Patrick’s Day and proudly showcased on Instagram.
In what was undoubtedly meant to be a heartwarming holiday post, Meghan decided to grace the world with a video of herself making festive green waffles for her family. She enthusiastically whisked a bowl of vibrant green batter before pouring it into what appeared to be a very pristine, barely-used Cuisinart Waring Pro WMK200 Belgian waffle maker.
But hold on—royal watchers and internet sleuths, armed with nothing but sharp eyes and a knack for spotting inconsistencies, quickly noticed something off. The waffles served to Archie and Lilibet looked *nothing* like the ones that should have come out of Meghan’s waffle maker.
Her waffle iron is designed to create deep, ridged, four-sectioned waffles. Yet somehow, the ones on the children’s plates were completely smooth—no ridges, no sections, suspiciously flat, and oddly uniform, as if they had been… store-bought. Could it be that Meghan Markle—the same woman who stepped away from royal life for “privacy” only to launch a full-blown media blitz—faked her homemade waffles?
Indeed, at the start of the video, Archie and Lilibet’s waffles appear round. Yet, by the end, an adult portion miraculously transforms into a square. Some next-level sorcery? Or just another case of Meghan Markle getting caught in an unnecessary fib?
It’s a tale as old as time—or at least as old as Meghan’s influencer aspirations. She just can’t seem to decide whether she wants to be the impeccably polished, perfectly curated lifestyle brand or the ultra-relatable, “just like us” home cook. Instead, she awkwardly teeters between both, leaving audiences exhausted.
And let’s talk about her kitchen—perpetually dim and moody, like something out of a Gothic novel. Every time she films in there, it looks less like a cozy cooking session and more like she’s preparing a meal in a candlelit cave. Someone, for the love of social media aesthetics, get this woman a proper studio setup. Maybe even hire a professional content creator—after all, she’s basically an influencer at this point. She just refuses to admit it.
Is this the biggest scandal to hit the Sussex brand? No. Is it possibly the most ridiculous? Absolutely. Whether or not Meghan actually made those waffles is a mystery only she can solve. But one thing’s for sure—if you’re going to fake it, at least make an effort to cover your tracks.
So Meghan, next time you decide to put on a performance for Instagram, maybe double-check your props. And for the love of all things breakfast, at least make sure your fake waffles match the waffle maker. It’s called consistency—even influencers know that much.
