Meghan Markle has been lauded for her unusual cooking expertise after trolls slammed her recent video.
Meghan shared a clip on Instagram of herself stirring up a pasta dish, with the caption: “Cooking up more than pasta (with homemade preserved lemons)…..so much goodness is coming soon.”
In the video, Meghan chops up garlic, herbs and her preserved lemons before adding them to a pan with a splash of oil.
She then sets some pasta to boil before adding a handful to the pan.
The pasta dish is served with additional seasoning, a pinch of Parmesan cheese, and an extra drizzle of oil.
Many Meghan followers commended the Duchess of Sussex for her cutting talents as well as the wonderful dish she shared in the video.
One person commented: “I love the use of the lemons! And she has great cuttring technique.”
While another added: “I went back to double check a couple times, on those knife skills!!
“Meg can actually cook, those are legit ‘I spend real time in the kitchen!’ cutting skills, as opposed to most ‘celebrity cooks’!
“I knew from various stories over the years, that she did some cooking, but I didn’t realize that she had this level of food knowledge.”
And a third added: “She has good knife skills.”
Unfortunately, the comments came amid some negative feedback on the video, with some social media users criticizing Meghan for posting the spaghetti meal.
One person added: “Woman makes pasta wow… how did we ever live lemon pasta has been around for decades.”
While another commented: “More basic pasta dishes.”
And a third added: “Lol, Meghan can cook pasta with lemon.”
Earlier this week, royal enthusiasts made odd assertions, assuming that a Christmas edition of Meghan’s show, With Love, Meghan, would air at the same time as Kate Middleton’s holiday concert.
Royal expert, Hugo Vickers, told The Sun: “It’s always said that whenever Catherine the Princess of Wales starts something that Meghan Markle does something else to cap it, or in some ways clash with it.
“Maybe that is the case. Obviously, there are lots of Christmas shows around Christmas.
“Having said that, of course, the initiative of the Princess of Wales at Westminster Abbey is incredibly moving and incredibly special, and is done for the benefit of the rest of the world, for all the people who’ve been suffering, all the people who’ve helped with charities, all that sort of thing, so it’s all for the public good.”
Meghan supporters are surprised by the accusation, with one saying on Twitter: “After #PrinceHarry & #Meghan ‘extend’ their #Netflix deal.
“THE GRAPES HAVE TURNED EXTREMELY SOUR THERE IN THE UK, they are accusing #PrinceHarry and #Meghan of ‘hijacking Christmas.’ Yes, really.
“And since when did Kate (and the Royals) own Christmas?”
