The controversy began when followers pointed out the similarities between the program names and the visual style of their trailers. Anderson’s show, which premiered on February 24, 2025, was announced three months before Markle’s show, titled With Love, Meghan.

Accuse Meghan Markle of copying Pamela Anderson for similarities in lifestyle programs
The trailer for Anderson, released in October 2024, showcases the former Baywatch star in her garden and rustic kitchen, as she shares her passion for cooking and creating special experiences for her guests. In the trailer, Anderson says: “I’ve always wanted to take things to another level.”
Similarly, in Markle’s trailer, which premiered in January 2025, the Duchess of Sussex appears cooking and picking fresh produce from her garden. She states: “I’ve always liked taking something common and elevating it.”.
Both women invite their friends and collaborators to their homes to experiment with new recipes and perfect the art of cooking and hospitality. Fans quickly noticed the similarities, and on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), several users expressed their opinions.
An internet user wrote: “If you watch the trailer for Pamela, it’s a more authentic version of what Meghan tried to achieve. It seems like Meghan has copied everything!”. Another commented: “The entire concept is strikingly similar”. Some even tagged the official Netflix account, asking “¿Te suena familiar?”.
While Markle’s series was originally scheduled to premiere in January, its release was postponed to March 4 due to the devastating wildfires in California. Meanwhile, Anderson’s show debuted in February.
Some social media users suggest that Markle tried to launch her show before Anderson to avoid comparisons, although others argue that cooking and lifestyle shows are very common and that the similarities are merely coincidental.
Despite the similarities, the approaches of the programs are different. In With Love, Meghan, Markle focuses on her community, inviting famous friends and family to her estate in California, where she shares tips on cooking, gardening, and hosting dinners.
In contrast, Anderson’s program focuses more on food, with less emphasis on the hostess experience. There have been no official comments yet from representatives of Markle or Anderson regarding the accusations.
