Earlier this year, we reported that Meghan Markle, the wife of Prince Harry, had been accused of “ripping off” Pamela Anderson’s cooking show. Now, it appears that Pamela has gotten the last laugh over Meghan just a few months later.
Pamela, 58, has reportedly gotten one over on Meghan, 44, by teaming up with a brand that was once near and dear to the former royal’s heart.
Pamela Gets The Last Laugh
Indeed, Pamela has launched launched a line of pickles with the ritzy Californian brand Flamingo Estate. Meghan was reportedly once desperate to partner with this brand, but they weren’t having any of it.
The first batch of Pamela’s Pickles just went on sale for a whopping $38 for a small jar. Daily Mail reported that “the pictures which accompany their release look so similar to those of the Duchess of Sussex’s range, it’s hard to tell the difference, with Pamela peeking coyly from a brimmed hat and carrying a colorful bouquet of flowers.”
Thankfully, all proceeds from Pamela’s Pickles are going to charity, as they are being sent to the California Wildlife Center. While Meghan’s sole interest with her brands appears to be filling her own pockets, Pamela’s focus continues to be on helping others.
After months of development with Pam in the Flamingo Estate kitchen, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve got a couple hundred jars of the most delicious pickles we’ve ever tasted.
“The secret to Pamela’s Pickles is an award-winning recipe that was passed down to her by her great-aunt Vie,” Pamela’s brand announced. “The delicious base is packed with Rose, Dill, Mustard, and Garlic — the perfect partner for the signature flavors of Flamingo Estate: Pink Peppercorns, Guajillo Chile, and smoky Sea Salt.’
“Like the legendary icon whose name they share, Pamela’s Pickles are both hot and vegan,” the statement continued.
Meghan Accused Of Copying Pamela
Earlier this year, fans Pamela’s fans were enraged when Meghan released the first trailer for her Netflix show With Love, Meghan. Indeed, they were quick to point out the many eerie similarities that Meghan’s show had with Pamela’s Prime video program Pamela’s Cooking With Love, which premiered in October of 2024.
“We take pride in planting the first seeds — creating original, distinctive programming that audiences love — and it’s a compliment to see our work with Ms. Anderson resonate so strongly,” said Jesse Fawcett, the producer for Pamela’s Cooking With Love.

Pamela Takes The High Road
Earlier this month, Pamela took the high road when she defended Meghan during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live! There, Pamela claimed that she didn’t think Meghan had copied her.
“On a scale from one to 10, how much of a rip-off did you feel like With Love, Meghan was of your show, Pamela’s Cooking with Love?” host Andy Cohen asked.
“One,” Pamela replied. “I didn’t – I didn’t really look, but I mean, I didn’t invent cooking shows.”
A seemingly uncomfortable Pamela added that Meghan “is just doing her thing.”
Check out Pamela’s full comments on this in the video below.
Despite this, many still believe that Meghan shamelessly copied Meghan. These folks believe that it’s karma that Pamela scored a brand deal that Meghan would be desperate to achieve for herself.
We wish Pamela the best of luck with Pamela’s Pickles. Here’s hoping that it’s a huge success!
