A Meghan Markle superfan is threatening to sue the Duchess of Sussex for £8million ($10million) after suffering “catastrophic burns” while copying a homemade bath salt recipe featured on Meghan’s new Netflix series With Love, Meghan.

Robin Patrick, a diabetic from Maryland, said she sustained severe injuries after using the same blend of salts Meghan prepared as a wellness gift for makeup artist Daniel Martin. The mix included Epsom salt, Himalayan salt, arnica oil and lavender oil—but Robin claims it left her with painful ulcers, blistering skin and fears of serious complications.

Speaking to RadarOnline.com, Patrick said: “Initially, I experienced a mild tingling sensation without discomfort. However, as the water level rose to cover my legs and reached my buttocks, I began to feel burning and significant discomfort in those areas. I immediately exited the tub, stopped the water, and later stirred the bathwater with my right hand and arm to assess the mixture. This resulted in additional burning sensations on my hand and arm. After draining the tub, I applied Gold Bond lotion, which provided no relief followed by lidocaine sprays which temporarily alleviated the pain.

"That evening, while showering, I experienced intense burning as water contacted the affected areas, which had developed into ulcers.”

Patrick says the damage from the bath salts remains severe, explaining that “the burns are still not healed and are quite uncomfortable,” with other areas “just sore as heck to touch.”

She described experiencing “persistent burning, discomfort, and the emergence of new blister-like sores and ulcers daily,” which she says have completely disrupted her routine—stopping her from taking warm showers or even wearing clothing over the affected skin.

Living with an autoimmune condition and a compromised immune system, along with diabetes-related dry skin, Patrick said she’s “deeply concerned about the risk of infection, sepsis, or other complications,” adding that “the pain feels as though it is burning from within.”

Patrick says she followed Meghan’s instructions after seeing a clip of the segment on X, using ingredients she had at home. She now says she would be willing to settle “without litigation” if a financial agreement is reached.

A letter sent to the Duchess, Netflix and Archewell Productions outlines claims of “emotional distress, potential post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), loss of confidence in appearance, disfigurement, shortened life expectancy, and long-term medical care for injuries that may worsen over time.”

Patrick is seeking a “minimum” of £60,000 ($75,000) for medical expenses, in addition to the £8million ($10million) in punitive damages to “deter similar conduct in the future.”

But Meghan’s lawyer, Cameron Stracher, responded sharply in a legal letter.

He wrote: “The use of Epsom salts is contraindicated for individuals with diabetes except on the advice of a physician. As your letter recognizes, a duty of care requires a ‘foreseeable’ injury.

"It was not foreseeable that you would disregard the instructions on the Epsom salt packaging in attempting to make and use your own bath salts.

"For this separate reason, there can be no negligence claim against anyone involved in the production or distribution of the series.”
