Meghan Markle’s “Homemaking” Video Has the Internet Screaming — Staged Apricots, an Empty Basket, and Barefoot for the Aesthetic?

Meghan Markle’s latest appearance was meant to be a serene slice of domestic bliss: barefoot in the garden, picking fresh apricots into a rustic basket, surrounded by sun-dappled greenery. But the internet? Not having it.

Social media users were quick to call out what they say is a carefully staged — and possibly tone-deaf — display of curated “realness.” TikTok and Twitter detectives zoomed in and found a few red flags: the basket she carried appeared nearly empty, the apricots looked too perfect (read: decorative), and the whole barefoot vibe screamed “photo shoot” more than “farm-to-table.”

While some fans praised the Duchess for embracing a simpler, natural lifestyle, others weren’t buying the 

just-another-mom-in-Montecito aesthetic. “Nothing says relatable like hand-selecting fruit that was probably placed there by a stylist,” one user quipped.

This isn’t the first time Meghan’s public image has sparked debate over authenticity vs. optics, but the “apricot gate” moment might be one of the most bizarrely specific yet.
