Meghan Markle Shares Video Of Homemade Waffles—But Fans Are Calling Her Out Over One Detail
After accusations surfaced of Meghan Markle using scripted lines on her Netflix show With Love, Meghan, netizens are now convinced the Duchess faked making waffles with kids for St. Patrick's Day. As Markle shared clips of her making breakfast on her Instagram Stories—mixing up the green batter and pouring it into a waffle maker—one detail caught the attention of royal watchers.
They noticed that the waffle maker she used had grooves, dividing it into quadrants. However, the waffles served on the plate lacked the ridges matching the waffle maker. As per Page Six, two different waffle makers were used—one for the kids and one for the adults—but this inconsistency had critics questioning if the mother-of-two actually made the dish for her kids. On X (formerly Twitter) a person said, "The ? Waffle was ridiculous...Her waffle iron had 4 Quarters [while] her debacle of a waffle was solid with NO quarters #Fake! Markle's continual lies...Crass." Similarly, another slammed, "What has happened to your freakish attention to detail Markle? Not only is this waffle not from the waffle maker...but the mixture she mixes in the bowl is not the mixture she pours onto the waffle maker."
What has happened to your "freakish attention to detail" Markle?

Not only is this waffle not from the waffle maker, as pointed out by @SabirahLohn, but the mixture she mixes in the bowl is not the mixture she pours on to the waffle maker. The one in the bowl is a lot thicker… pic.twitter.com/4TNAAAuaxB
The same person added, "The one in the bowl is a lot thicker than the fluid poured on the waffle maker. How many times did she have to do this for a 30-second video? And does anyone who is in the kitchen a lot hold a utensil like that to scrape off the side of the waffle maker? That's the actions of someone who has no experience of actually doing anything in the kitchen." Others, however, defended Markle. A fan argued, "Meghan, Duchess of Sussex is on her IG stories making green waffles with kiwi smiley faces and shamrock shakes to celebrate St. Patrick's Day ?. You can tell she genuinely does fun things like this in the kitchen for her family which is why the 'she’s fake' allegations make no sense." Another reasoned, "LOL people are going crazy because Meghan Markle made green waffles ? You know you can change the waffle iron plates, right?!"

The Sussexes embraced the holiday spirit with festive green drinks for both adults and children. "We love a theme," Markle captioned a video featuring the drinks held by her children. Sharing also an image of the adult version of the holiday breakfast—strawberries alongside the green waffles—Markle wished everyone happy St. Patrick's Day with a green heart emoji, as reported by People magazine.

Interestingly, Prince Harry had once shared a heartwarming memory about his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II gifting their son Archie a waffle maker when he was just a toddler. During an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Harry fondly recalled that little Archie, still not two at the time, was so happy with the waffle maker that he excitedly woke up every day asking for a waffle. This detail had royal enthusiasts wondering if it was the same gadget Markle used in her videos.
