Meghan Markle Faces Plagiarism Charges for TED Talk Speech

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is currently embroiled in a plagiarism controversy after allegations surfaced that she stole a significant portion of her TED Talk speech from Nigerian speaker Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

Critics argue that this alleged plagiarism reflects a lack of originality and creativity in Meghan's work, particularly if she were to reopen her old blog, The Tig.

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

One such victim is Stephanie Tong, who shared a heartfelt story about holding her first child.

Tong believes that Meghan appropriated her words as her own.

Another alleged victim, Allen, feels that Meghan also captured her words, as her freckled face resembles a starless light in the spotlight.

Additionally, Meghan is accused of using Sheryl Sandberg's famous quote, “we must invite women to the table,” without giving proper acknowledgement.

The Netflix documentary, Social Dilemma, is also at the center of the controversy, as Meghan is accused of directly quoting lines from it in one of her speeches.

This incident occurred shortly after the documentary premiered on Netflix.

Furthermore, Meghan is said to have plagiarized a quote from the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs, calling on women to bring about change and strive for an equal society.

Critics argue that Meghan's failure to rephrase these speeches demonstrates a lack of creativity and a tendency to appropriate other people's words.

They question why she did not provide proper attributions, as it would have made her appear more intelligent to quote great individuals instead of claiming their words as her own.

Multiple sources, including BCLs and Quora, have published well-researched articles highlighting alleged instances of plagiarism by Meghan Markle.

These sources present comparative evidence to support their claims.

Archived footage of Meghan and Prince Harry visiting a charity in Bristol has also come under scrutiny.

In the video, Meghan offers to write a message of hope on a banana, similar to a program initiated by an American lunch lady, Stacey Truman of Kingston Elementary School in Virginia.

However, the video does not show Meghan mentioning the origin of her idea.

Quotes from Meghan regarding this initiative appeared in various publications without proper attribution to Truman.

These allegations suggest that Meghan incorporated other people's phrases and ideas into her speech without proper acknowledgement, potentially plagiarizing their work.

While using quotes for inspiration is not inherently wrong, critics argue that credit should be given where it is due, recognizing the individuals who deserve recognition.

This controversy has further tarnished Meghan's reputation, leading some to view her as deceitful and delusional.

The question remains, why would someone take the stage to publicly present the words of wisdom of others without considering the consequences of being caught?
