Royal Chef Refuses to Roll Out Red Carpet for Meghan Markle

Celebrated Royal Chef Richard Corrigan has come under fire from fans of and after he refused to cook for the Duchess of Sussex free of charge.

Corrigan, who has cooked for the Queen and other members of the Royal Family, said that while some royals have enjoyed his food for free, others will have to pay.

He added that he would allow Meghan into his restaurant, but he wouldn't roll out the red carpet for her.

In response to Corrigan's comments, Meghan and Harry fans took to social media to express their outrage.

The chef was accused of racism and faced a weekend of online abuse.

However, some users rushed to his defence, arguing that he was entitled to expect payment for his services.

They pointed out that if any real members of the Royal Family booked into his restaurant, they would expect to pay their bill at the end.

The controversy comes amid ongoing tension between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the rest of the Royal Family.

Meghan and Harry have been criticised by some for their decision to step back from their royal duties and move to America.

Rebel Wilson, who hosted the BAFTAs on Sunday, took a thinly veiled dig at the couple during the ceremony, joking that their interview with “had it all” but wasn't nominated for any awards.

Wilson's comments sparked a mixed response from royal fans on social media.

Some saw the funny side, while others were furious and slammed the actress for her words about their favourite Royals.

This isn't the first time Wilson has made a playful dig at Meghan and Harry.

During an interview with Alison Hammond, she joked that the couple's new theme song was “I heard that they didn't have anyone funny in Britain so they flew in an Australian”.

Despite the controversy, Corrigan remains one of the most celebrated chefs in the UK.

He is the owner of Mayfair restaurants Bentley's and Corrigan's, both of which are renowned for their high-quality food and service.

Corrigan has cooked for a number of high-profile clients over the years, including former US President Barack Obama.

While some may see Corrigan's comments as a snub to Meghan and Harry, others argue that he was simply being honest about his expectations for payment.

Cooking is his living, after all, and it's not unreasonable to expect to be compensated for his time and expertise.

It remains to be seen whether Meghan and Harry will respond to the controversy directly or simply let it blow over.

In any case, the incident highlights the ongoing tensions between the Royal Family and the Sussexes, who have been at odds with the rest of the family since their decision to step back from their royal duties.

While some have criticised Meghan and Harry for their actions, others have praised them for standing up for themselves and their beliefs.

As the drama continues to unfold, it's clear that the Royal Family will need to find a way to bridge the divide and move forward.

Whether that will involve a reconciliation with Meghan and Harry or simply a rethinking of the way the family operates remains to be seen.

One thing is certain, however: the world will be watching closely as events continue to unfold.
