💥 Liar Exposed? Meghan Markle Accused of Faking ‘Homegrown’ Veggie Basket With Supermarket Produce

It was meant to be a wholesome moment—Meghan Markle smiling proudly as she displayed a basket of fresh vegetables, claiming they were lovingly grown in her own California garden. But instead of praise, the Duchess of Sussex is now facing a storm of accusations that the “homegrown” produce was anything but.

According to sharp-eyed social media users, the vegetables in Meghan’s basket looked suspiciously similar to those found on local supermarket shelves—perfectly uniform, glossy, and free of the usual imperfections you’d expect from backyard gardening. “That zucchini looks like it just came off an organic Whole Foods shelf,” one critic sniped on X (formerly Twitter). Another bluntly added: “Homegrown? More like store-bought.”

The backlash was swift and merciless. Accusations of “PR fakery” and “staged authenticity” flooded online platforms, with many claiming Meghan was simply trying to boost her image as a relatable, eco-friendly mom. “It’s misleading and inauthentic,” one user fumed. “She’s selling an image, not vegetables.”

But not everyone is buying the outrage. Supporters of the Duchess have rushed to her defense, calling the controversy overblown and petty. “Honestly, who cares where the veggies came from?” wrote one fan. “She promotes healthy living—why attack her for that?”

Insiders say Meghan’s team is aware of the criticism but has chosen not to respond, hoping the story will fade. Yet, in true royal-drama fashion, the silence has only poured more fuel on the fire. Even tabloids in the UK have seized on the story, branding it “Veg-Gate” and questioning whether this is another example of Meghan’s so-called “curated reality.”

SCROLL DOWN TO CONTINUE

For Meghan, who has worked hard to cultivate an image of authenticity and down-to-earth family life in Montecito, the timing couldn’t be worse. Critics argue the “veggie scandal” undermines her credibility, while fans insist it’s just another manufactured controversy targeting the Duchess.

So, was it a harmless garden moment blown out of proportion—or a carefully staged PR stunt gone wrong? For now, Meghan remains silent, the basket of vegetables unaccounted for, and the internet buzzing with speculation.

Because when it comes to the Sussexes, even a zucchini can spark a royal scandal.
