00:00Is Gwyneth Paltrow trolling Meghan Markle? Well, a video posted on the 52-year-old actor's

00:05Instagram page could suggest so. Speculation has started swirling on social media as Gwyneth posted

00:11a clip of herself cooking breakfast in her pyjamas, and some have taken this to be an

00:16intentional parody of Meghan's Netflix cooking show, With Love, Meghan. Similarities include

00:21a monogrammed mug, the presence of a dog, and use of the song This Will Be by Natalie Cole,

00:26which often featured in the promo for Meghan's show. Fans also jumped on the fact that both

00:31celebrity actors cooked eggs, as well as featured a jar of either jam or chutney. Meghan's show has

00:37received tepid reviews, landing at 3.1 on IMDb and 33% on Rotten Tomatoes, so Paltrow could be

00:44hopping on the bandwagon. However, others have argued it's unlikely Gwyneth was mocking Meghan,

00:49pointing out that she'd made similar videos before the series even came out. In an interview

00:54with Vanity Fair last week, Gwyneth claimed to have not even seen the trailer for the show,

00:58and denied any suggestions that she might feel threatened by Meghan's increasingly goop-adjacent

01:03brand. She said she always stands up for women being talked about in the media,

01:07and says that other women are never your competition.
