Prince Harry no longer hides Meghan Markle's serious problem: confirmed

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, are unable to hide the reality they face at this moment

Meghan Markle hasn't stopped being in the headlines this 2025, a year in which her personal projects seemed to finally materialize. Alongside her husband, Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex recently appeared at the TIME100 Summit in New York. Despite her smiling demeanor and apparent family unity, Meghan faces a new controversy related to her media career: accusations of plagiarism.

The controversy of the Pearl project and the plagiarism accusations

In 2020, the Sussexes signed a multimillion-dollar deal with Netflix through their production company Archewell Productions, which allowed them to create several productions. However, one of the most controversial projects was Pearl, a children's series about a girl who is inspired by influential women throughout history. Although the show was canceled by Netflix due to a loss of subscribers, Pearl was not free from controversy.

British author Mel Eliott has accused Meghan Markle of copying her creation Pearl Power, a project about a girl who faces challenges and is inspired by prominent female figures. Eliott claimed that the similarities between her work and Meghan's show were "too obvious to ignore." According to her, after informing Netflix and Archewell of these similarities, she received no response, leaving her frustrated and disappointed.

Previous plagiarism accusations in other projects

This is not the first plagiarism scandal involving Meghan Markle. In February, the Duchess was accused of copying the format of a cooking show launched by Pamela Anderson, titled Pamela's Cooking with Love. The aesthetics and name of Meghan's show were compared to Anderson's, sparking a new controversy.

The launch of the As Ever brand also caused a stir in Mallorca: the Porreres City Council pointed out that Meghan's brand logo resembled the municipal coat of arms. Although the images are not identical, the mayor of Porreres, Xisca Mora, indicated that the plagiarism complaint would be complicated.

The impact of the criticisms on Meghan

The plagiarism accusations continue to haunt Meghan Markle, affecting her public image and career. Although her projects have been well received by some, the controversies over plagiarism are tarnishing her trajectory. However, despite the criticisms, Meghan continues with her media initiatives while maintaining her commitment to activism and female empowerment.

As legal and media challenges increase, the Duchess of Sussex must face the reality that her professional decisions are constantly being observed and questioned. Meanwhile, her personal life remains a recurring topic in the media, adding pressure to her already complicated family and professional relationships.
