People seem to be quite divided over Gwyneth Paltrow's latest Instagram post with some absolutely convinced it was somewhat of a 'dig' to Meghan Markle.
As we know, the Duchess of Sussex has recently starred in her brand-new lifestyle series, which gave Netflix viewers a chance to 'join Meghan in the kitchen, garden - and even at the beehive' - alongside a handful of her fellow celebrity pals.
While many were absolutely obsessed with the TV programme titled With Love, Meghan, which shot into the streamer’s top 10 - it's clear some online critics were enraged over the light-hearted cooking show.
And now, following Paltrow's latest post to her 8.7 million followers on Instagram, some people are utterly convinced the Iron Man actress was somehow responding to Meghan's own recipe clips.

Paltrow's video, set to the track 'This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)' by Natalie Cole, started off with a clip of her in what appeared to be striped pyjamas sipping from a mug.
She then smiles and looks out of the window as the shot then pans to a beautiful sunrise.
The Hollywood A-lister then rustles up a plate of buttermilk biscuits, some rashers of bacon and two fried eggs.

After watching the video, one social media user penned: "Gwyneth Paltrow making breakfast in her pyjamas and in her real kitchen all while playing the promo song for Meghan Markle’s show is [hand over face emoji]."
"#MeghanMarkle gets schooled in the most elegant way by @GwynethPaltrow who in less than 1 minute destroys her Netflix fake show!" piped up a second keyboard warrior. "No make up, no 80 crew, no special lighting, no ridiculous clothing. Heck! She doesn't even say a word with love, Gwyneth!"
A third hit out: "Meghan watching this wondering if it’s about her..."

"I don't care for GP, but am loving this well-done troll of MM!" jibed a fourth.
Others, however, were far from falling into the Hollywood habit of pitting two women against one another with a fifth pointing out: "Gwyneth has posted videos of her cooking breakfasts every week for like 3 years, she is not shading Meghan.
"And she literally said in her interview, about Meghan, 'when there’s noise about certain women in the culture, I do have, always, a strong instinct to stand up for them.'"

Another agreed: "I think it’s a nod to her, not shade."
"Maybe it is a tribute to Meghan?" echoed a final social media user. "Copying the idea, of celebs cooking etc. I have to admit, this is a bloody well edited clip. Informative, funny, fresh & quick."
