I’ve just woken up from a dream about a slice of chocolate cake. Yesterday at lunch, I hovered outside a restaurant sniffing their noodles. And that evening, I found myself sitting by the refrigerator, hoping something new might appear.<\/p>\n
For the past four days, I have followed a diet consisting of foods\u00a0Meghan Markle<\/a>\u00a0has said she eats. I put together a menu of breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks based on previous statements made by Markle and recipes shared by her.\u00a0<\/p>\n When setting out on the experiment, I expected delicious and well-rounded meals \u2014 served, of course, with a side of edible flowers and perhaps a jar of her now infamous jam.<\/p>\n The truth, however, was far less satisfying.<\/p>\n My Markle diet consisted of pasta, salad, edible violas, green juices and \u2014 what I thought \u2014 was not enough protein.<\/p>\n The result was, predictably, a constant nagging sensation of hunger that refused to go away. By the end, I could only dull it by gulping down a nightly glass of red wine.\u00a0<\/p>\n I was slow and lethargic. By day three, I felt dizzy whenever I took a short walk outside. At times, I remarked out loud (a bit dramatically) that I thought I might die.<\/p>\n I’ve eaten like several celebrities in the name of journalism, testing the meat-heavy diet of Robert F Kennedy Jr<\/a> and indulging in the refined tastes of Melania Trump’s<\/a>\u00a0to try to find out what makes the world’s most influential people tick.<\/p>\n But after eating like the Duchess of Sussex, I found myself unable to think about anything except my next meal. Even moderate exercise felt out of reach.<\/p>\n Meghan Markle says she is a foodie and has regularly posted and spoken about recipes and her diet. I used this information to eat like the Duchess of Sussex for three-and-a-half days<\/p>\n<\/div>\n I am shown above cutting into the main meal of my Markle diet adventure, a cacio e pepe spaghetti dish, complete with edible flowers<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"I](\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2026\/03\/31\/17\/107559835-15692181-image-m-8_1774974410745.jpg\")
