Meghan Markle Faces $10M Legal Challenge Over DIY Bath Salt Burns Amid Ongoing Netflix Blowback

Maryland resident Robin Patrick is demanding $10 million in punitive damages and $75,000 in compensatory damages from Meghan Markle, asserting that a salt bath recipe from the Duchess led to severe burns and lasting pain. Although Patrick has not yet filed a lawsuit, she issued a legal threat on May 7. The controversy originated from Markle's Netflix series “With Love, Meghan.” Experts, including esthetician Jennifer Christopherson, warned of irritation from the recipe’s ingredients like arnica oil, which Patrick claims caused blistering and ulcers. Markle’s attorney argues that Patrick’s diabetes contributed to her injuries, dismissing the negligence claim.
