In the videos, Meghan was seen whisking a bright green batter before pouring it into a steaming black cast-iron waffle maker. She\u00a0captioned<\/a>\u00a0one of the clips, “We love a theme!” to highlight the festive meal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The final presentation included a decorated waffle for her children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, with blueberries for eyes, a kiwi slice for a mouth, and whipped cream resembling hair. “For the kids\u2026” she\u00a0wrote<\/a>\u00a0alongside the image.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

She also plated a simpler version for herself and Prince Harry, 40, alongside strawberries and cream. “… and us! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!” she\u00a0added<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, social media followers quickly pointed out an apparent inconsistency between the waffle maker and the final product. Some claimed the waffles she served looked different from the waffle iron pattern in the video.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The device in her footage had deep ridges designed to split waffles into four sections, yet the plated waffles appeared smoother and lacked those distinctive marks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On Facebook, people shared their thoughts.\u00a0“The waffle she served did not come from that waffle maker, otherwise it would have 4 sections,”<\/i>\u00a0one person\u00a0pointed out<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“I would be embarrassed to share that, seriously has she no one around her advising her or does she refuse advice [sic],”\u00a0<\/i>criticized<\/a>\u00a0another commenter.\u00a0“Looks pretty unappetizing to me,”\u00a0<\/i>chimed in<\/a> a different viewer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Meanwhile, people on X had their take on the situation.\u00a0“That waffle was clearly not made in a waffle maker toy can tell as the squares are too small and missing the cross indent a waffle maker leaves. It is an Eggo dipped in green food dye,”\u00a0<\/i>said<\/a>\u00a0a keen-eyed commenter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Royal fans also showed their support, with one simply\u00a0writing,<\/a>\u00a0“Sweet,”\u00a0<\/i>and another person\u00a0adding,<\/a>\u00a0“Princess Meghan is woman of substance and very thoughtful and intelligent [sic].”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
