Meghan Markle Accused of Copying Children’s Book Idea
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s production company, Archewell Productions, was recently set to produce a children’s series, Pearl, about a young girl empowered by influential women throughout history. However, the project was shelved, and now author Stephanie Hook is accusing the Duchess of Sussex of plagiarizing her book, The Pearlie Princesses. Hook claims the similarities between her book and Markle’s proposed series are “too great to ignore,” though she admits she can’t definitively prove Markle’s team had access to her work.
The accusation has ignited social media, with many users criticizing Markle. Some comments include, “Girl has never had an original thought in her life,” and “Meghan will do anything but come up with her own ideas.”
Another user sarcastically questioned, “Again? You would think with how many times she’s been accused of copying she would be a little more careful.”
