An acclaimed British children’s author has become the latest person to go public with a claim that Meghan Markle used another person’s work and ideas in a creative endeavour without giving proper credit.

Author and illustrator Mel Elliott revealed over the weekend that her series of Pearl Power children’s books may have offered more than inspiration for a Netflix project that Meghan planned to undertake, as part of her and Prince Harry’s US$100mil (RM440.7mil) production deal with the streaming giant, according to a Daily Mail report.
