Meghan Markle

once declared her mission was to build a legacy, not just a brand. And build it she has, across podcasts, animated heroines, honey jars, and rosé-filled glasses. Yet, with each new launch carrying a strong scent of déjà vu, curious eyes are drawn to the blueprint. Is this a clever reinvention of timeless ideas or merely creative déjà vu dressed up in couture? A dash of innovation, a hint of imitation, and an endless buzz follow.

While Meghan Markle mixes legacy with lifestyle and sprinkles in just enough stardust, some say the recipe feels a little too familiar. Here are all the claims that sparked the comparisons.

Pearl vs. Pearl Power: feminist animation or familiar blueprint?

When Netflix announced Pearl

, an animated series starring a curious girl learning from iconic women, it sounded empowering. Unfortunately, it also sounded a little too familiar to UK author Mel Elliott.

As reported by The Daily Mail

, her legal team sent a letter to Archewell Productions, noting glaring similarities to Pearl Power, her children’s book series featuring, well, a girl learning from iconic women. The project was quietly shelved, but Elliott suspects it was more about a lawsuit than scheduling.

While one animated heroine triggered legal drama, Meghan Markle’s next project turned up the heat, serving visuals so familiar, critics wondered if it was cozy lifestyle content or just leftovers microwaved in better lighting.

With Love, Meghan vs. Cooking With Love: déjà view?

A soft-focus camera, ambient lighting, and herbs in mason jars: Meghan Markle’s With Love, Meghan

 might serve wholesome vibes, but critics were quick to say it also serves déjà vu. Many viewers spotted its uncanny

resemblance to Pamela Anderson’s Cooking With Lov

e.

Same format, same gentle musings, nearly the same title. Sure, lifestyle TV is a crowded garden, but this one has fans wondering if Meghan Markle planted her inspiration just a bit too close to the neighbor’s plot.

As Meghan Markle’s mason-jar musings drew side-eyes for déjà vu, her next venture swapped herbs for hashtags and found itself in hot water over a podcast title that echoed a familiar confession.

Podcast Title drama: confessions or coincidence?

When Meghan Markle unveiled Confessions of a Female Founder

, the internet was ready to cry copycat. Enter Kady Méite, a content creator whose long-running series shared a suspiciously similar title. 

But instead of fanning the flames, Méite chose peace over pettiness, telling Yahoo Lifestyle

that the backlash was “highly unlikely

” and that Meghan Markle was likely unaware of her channel. In a plot twist rare for internet drama, the accused and accuser both refused the scandal script. Grace, not gossip, got the final word. Imagine that.

While podcast peace offered a rare pause, Meghan Markle’s next move popped the cork on fresh backlash; her rosé was called less of a bold pour and more of a flavor that felt all too familiar to fame.

Rosé and repeats? Meghan Markle’s wine faces familiarity woes

Celebrity rosé is the new perfume: pink, profitable, and often indistinguishable. Meghan Markle’s As Ever rosé joined a vineyard already brimming with bottles from stars like Brad Pitt and Kylie Minogue. Royal biographer

Hugo Vickers voiced concerns in The Sun

that the Duchess may be uncorking sameness disguised as chic.

 For some, it is a brand evolution. For others, it is just grape déjà vu with a royal twist. Either way, the cork is out of the bottle.

While Meghan Markle’s rosé raised both glasses and eyebrows, her next venture stirred up sweet familiarity, prompting whispers over whether royal recipes are being shared out of love or simply restyled for the spotlight.

With Love, Meghan or with a hint of Kate Middleton?

Tea towels, beekeeping, and homemade jam: Meghan Markle’s rustic showstopper feels oddly reminiscent of someone else’s royal recipe. Royal watchers clocked eerie similarities between With Love, Meghan

and Princess Kate Middleton’s well-documented homegrown lifestyle.

From gifting honey to garden parties, Kate Middleton did it first and more privately

. Meghan Markle, though newer to the domestic scene, presents it with camera-ready polish. The result? Viewers are left wondering if it is tribute, trend…or tasteful mimicry.

The question still remains: Is Meghan Markle building a lifestyle empire, or just playing Pinterest bingo with someone else’s board? From animated doppelgängers to rosé déjà vu and jam déjà-Kate Middleton, the line between rebranding and reruns has never been blurrier or juicier. Some call it savvy strategy, others call it Ctrl+C couture. Royal branding today is more remix than revelation. But credit where it is due, Meghan Markle has a talent for turning familiar blueprints into glossy, high-glam finishes.
