The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, is facing accusations of copying Pamela Anderson in her new cooking show, titled With Love, Meghan, which debuts on Netflix. In an interview with People magazine, Meghan shared domestic tips including how to elevate a normal dinner and discussed the challenges of trademarking her new brand, As Ever.
Fans of Pamela Anderson have pointed out striking similarities between Meghan’s show and Pamela’s show, also called Cooking With Love. Both shows feature the former TV stars filming aspirational cooking in bright country kitchens, dancing with joy, and high-fiving celebrity guests. Critics argue that Meghan’s series is a virtual rip-off of Pamela’s, with similar themes and aesthetics.
While some observers see the similarities as a coincidence, others question the originality of Meghan’s show, which was filmed last summer and debuted its first trailer in January. In contrast, Pamela’s show was commissioned in February 2023 by Canadian broadcaster Flavour Network, with a trailer released in October.
Despite concerns over the similarities, Jesse Fawcett, the co-creator of Pamela’s show, remains unfazed, saying they take pride in creating original programming that resonates with audiences. Meghan’s fans and viewers, however, have expressed disappointment in what they see as a lack of authenticity and originality in her show compared to Pamela’s.
As both shows feature the stars cooking with locally sourced ingredients in beautiful country kitchens, fans are left to discern the differences between the two women’s approaches to cooking and presenting their respective shows. Ultimately, Meghan’s show faces criticism for allegedly copying Pamela’s winning formula, while Pamela’s authenticity and originality are praised by her fans.
