Meghan Markle is currently embroiled in a plagiarism controversy, as author Mel Elliott claims Markle's upcoming Netflix animated series "Pearl" closely resembles her book series "Pearl Power." Elliott expressed her disappointment, noting that the show appears to draw heavily from her prior work published years earlier. Despite sending multiple legal letters regarding the matter, Elliott states she received no response from Markle's team or Netflix. The situation raises questions about originality and inspiration in creative works, especially given Markle's advocacy for women's empowerment.
"Meghan is a feminist who sticks up for other women, so I was disappointed and confused to see how similar Netflix's proposed show 'Pearl' was to my own 'Pearl Power,' who had been created seven years earlier."
"Of course, I can't know if anyone on her team had seen it and been inspired by it, but the similarities were too great for me to ignore."
"The similarities between your proposed animation series and my client's work appear to be too many and too striking to be mere coincidence."
"What saddened me most is that my objection was never acknowledged - neither Netflix nor Markle's team ever got back to me."
