- UK News. Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle clash again, this time over the Beckham family
- UK News. Meghan Markle's reputation would be destroyed if she separates from Prince Harry
Meghan Markle recently found herself at the center of social media scrutiny after sharing an Instagram post on May 28 via her "As Ever" . The post featured the Duchess of Sussex posing with her dog and a basket of "fresh" vegetables allegedly handpicked from her Southern California garden. Captioning the photo, she wrote, "The unofficial quality inspector of this morning's garden haul." However, eagle-eyed critics quickly questioned the authenticity of her claim.
The basket showcased an impressive variety of produce, including corn, leeks, squash, red bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli. While the image initially appeared to highlight Meghan's gardening skills, skeptics on Reddit were quick to point out that many of these vegetables are not currently in season.
One sarcastically remarked, "Huh. She's so good at gardening she can grow all things from all seasons at once." Another comment read, "How dumb does she think people are? Like, we're expected to believe she's growing corn? Seriously? Corn?"
Adding fuel to the fire, critics noticed that the vegetables appeared too pristine to have been freshly harvested. The absence of dirt or soil on the produce led many to suspect that the veggies were store-bought rather than homegrown. "Yup, there's not a speck of dirt or soil on those veggies. Shop bought," one claimed. Another added, "I'm so embarrassed that she thinks anyone believes this. Like, how dare she?!? If she ACTUALLY gardened she would know it's best to not wash the organic produce until it's used."
s call out Meghan for 'unseasonal' vegetables
The backlash didn't stop there. Some s speculated that the photo was staged for social media clout rather than an authentic representation of her gardening prowess. One commenter humorously suggested, "Can only think she's hidden a dog treat in there as well for the dog to be showing any interest in what looks to be just a basket of veg."
While Meghan Markle's post was likely intended as a lighthearted glimpse into her day-to-day life, it seems to have sparked a lively debate among social media s. Whether the vegetables were truly homegrown or not, the online response highlights how closely public figures like Meghan are scrutinized for even the smallest details they share online.
