🥔👑Just when you thought crisps were the one snack immune from royal inflation, along comes Meghan Markle with her latest “laid-back glamour” recipe—homemade crisps that cost a jaw-dropping £22 to produce. Yes, twenty-two pounds. For something you can grab for £1.50 at Tesco in a bag big enough to feed an army of teenagers.

The Netflix gloss frames it as effortless chic: peel potatoes, slice thinly, fry artfully, sprinkle with Himalayan unicorn salt (probably), and serve on a reclaimed wood platter. In reality, it’s a fiddly, labour-intensive mess—half cookery, half punishment. By the time you’ve bought the premium ingredients, used half a bottle of artisanal oil, and mopped up the kitchen like it’s a crime scene, you’ll wonder why you didn’t just buy a multi-pack of Walkers and call it “bespoke.”
💸 When Glamour Eats Your Wallet
Meghan’s crisps aren’t just food—they’re theatre. They’re designed to whisper “I’m chic, I’m wholesome, I’m relatable… but only if you can afford organic potatoes hand-massaged by monks.” It’s aspirational snacking for people who think a weekend project should involve spiralizers, not sofas.
But here’s the reality check: glamour that costs £22 and three hours for a plate of crisps isn’t glamorous. It’s absurd. It’s poverty cosplay in reverse—luxury dressed up as simplicity, while everyone else is chucking a bag of Kettle Chips on the table and actually enjoying their evening.

Would you ever spend £22 to make crisps at home—or is this the latest proof that Meghan’s “relatable lifestyle” is about as grounded as a Buckingham Palace banquet? 💬
