Meghan Markle Accused of Plagiarism: Stealing Words and Wisdom

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is currently facing serious accusations of plagiarism.

Critics claim that she allegedly plagiarized a significant portion, approximately 43 percent, of a TED talk delivered by a Nigerian speaker.

This act has raised questions about her character and integrity, suggesting a lack of originality, creativity, and talent in her work.

The TED talk in question was given by renowned author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and it appears that Meghan's Rtul audio podcast was heavily influenced by it.

If Meghan were to relaunch her former blog, The TIG, it seems that we would witness a lack of originality and an absence of her own unique voice.

An undisclosed source has provided a list of individuals who claim to be victims of Meghan's alleged plagiarism.

Anna Roosevelt, known for her famous quote, “It isn't enough to talk about peace, one must believe in it,” asserts that Meghan used her words without proper attribution.

Stephanie Tong, who shared her heartfelt experience of holding her firstborn, feels that Meghan appropriated her story as her own.

Georgina Lahn, whose quote “A face without freckles is like a night without stars” gained attention, believes that Meghan took her words as well.

Additionally, Sheryl Sandberg's famous phrase “We've got to get women to sit at the table” was allegedly used by Meghan without acknowledgment.

Moreover, Meghan is accused of directly quoting lines from the Netflix documentary “The Social Dilemma,” where she stated that only drug dealers and social media companies refer to their customers as “users.”

This incident occurred shortly after the documentary premiered on Netflix.

Another accusation suggests that Meghan plagiarized a quote by the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs during one of her speeches, where she urged women to bring about change and strive for an equal society.

Critics argue that Meghan's failure to rephrase these speeches reveals her lack of creativity and her tendency to present other people's words as her own.

They question why she does not provide proper attribution, as it would enhance her credibility to quote great individuals rather than claim their words as her own.

Multiple sources, including B. C. Lurz and Quora, have published well-researched articles highlighting instances of Meghan's alleged plagiarism.

These sources present comparative evidence supporting their claims.

Furthermore, archival footage of Meghan and Prince Harry visiting a Bristol charity has come under scrutiny.

During this visit, Meghan suggested writing messages of hope on bananas, a program initiated by an American lunch lady.

It remains unclear if Meghan credited the original inspiration, Stacey Truman of Kingston Elementary in Virginia, for this idea.

The footage, including continuous filming by AP, does not show Meghan mentioning the source.

Consequently, quotes from Meghan appeared in various publications without proper credit being given to the original inspiration.

These allegations collectively suggest that Meghan incorporated phrases and ideas from others into her speeches without providing proper credit, potentially plagiarizing the work, ideas, and words of more prominent figures.
