Part 3/7:
The conflict appears to stem from the accusation made by Anderson's team that Markle's trailer and show's concept bear an uncanny resemblance to hers. Notably, Anderson's trailer was released in October of the previous year, while Markle's followed in January. The striking similarities have led Anderson and her representatives to suspect that Markle did not merely draw inspiration but rather copied key elements of her show.
While Markle has publicly justified her show's resemblance by claiming it was inspired by Anderson's work, Anderson has hit back, expressing her frustration publicly and privately. This back-and-forth suggests that what began as a minor quarrel has ballooned into a high-profile dispute, making headlines and drawing public feedback.
