Royal fans are convinced Meghan Markle used a kitchen appliance gifted to the family by the late Queen to make St Patrick's Day waffles for the Sussex family.
The Duchess, 43, posted the process of her making the Shamrock green breakfast on Instagram to celebrate the Irish saint.
She filmed herself whisking up a vibrant mixture, before pouring it into a steaming hot black cast-iron waffle maker, before writing: 'We love a theme!'
The mother-of-two then decorated the waffles with a kiwi for a mouth, blueberries for eyes and whipped cream hair 'for the kids' - five-year-old Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, three, who also also had mint-coloured milkshakes.
She and Prince Harry then tucked into their green breakfast with a dollop of cream with chocolate flakes and strawberries. 'For us! Happy St. Patrick's Day!' she wrote alongside her photographs.
After seeing Meghan's clip on Instagram, royal fans speculated on X/Twitter that the kitchen kit used to make the themed breakfasts came from Prince Harry's late grandmother.
One fan wrote: 'I bet this is the same waffle maker QEII gave Archie for Christmas after learning how much he loved waffles. Glad to see it's getting good use.'
Another speculated: 'I believe this is the waffle maker the Queen bought for Archie. Prove me wrong...'
The Duchess of Sussex , 43, shared a selection of videos to her Instagram story on Monday, using a waffle maker for her creations
The Duke of Sussex, 40, previously revealed that his grandmother Queen Elizabeth - who passed away in 2022 - had gifted Archie a waffle maker

The Duke of Sussex, 40, previously revealed that his grandmother Queen Elizabeth - who passed away in 2022 - had gifted his son a waffle maker, adding that it is one of the first things he asks for when waking up in the morning.
He appeared on the Late Late Show with British presenter James Corden in 2021 - one of the first interviews he agreed to since exiting the Firm and moving to the States with his young family.
When James asked Harry how he was finding fatherhood he gushed and revealed that Archie had the 'most amazing personality' before adding: 'My grandmother asked us what Archie wanted for Christmas and Meg said a waffle maker, she sent us a waffle maker for Archie.
'So for breakfast, Meg makes up a beautiful, organic mix in the waffle maker, flips it, out it comes, he loves it.
'Now I have waffles for breakfast, bit of yogurt, bit of jam on top, a bit of berries, little bit of honey, maybe some syrup.'
James Corden said he couldn't wrap his head around the Queen ordering a waffle maker to be sent to Santa Barbara.
Harry laughed and said: 'I don't even know how to comment on that. Archie wakes up in the morning and literally just goes "Waffle?"'
Also hidden in the video was a sneak peek at some of Meghan's décor - including educational place mats for Archie and Lilibet, one of which featured an early-years version of the Periodic Table.
Meghan's low-key St Patrick's Day celebration came as the Princess of Wales attended the Irish Guards' annual parade at Wellington Barracks in London.
Kate, 43, made a triumphant solo return to the celebration, before putting drinks behind the bar for guardsmen and enjoying a toast inside the Wellington Barracks in Westminster - in her first time attending the celebration since 2023.

It's not the first time Meghan has shown her love of a themed breakfast, making bagels and cutting strawberries into hearts with Archie and Lilibet for Valentine's Day last month

It appears the two royals have both been celebrating the annual celebration thousands of miles away from one another.
It's not the first time Meghan has shown her love of a themed breakfast, making bagels and cutting strawberries into hearts with Archie and Lilibet for Valentine's Day last month, while Prince Harry stayed at the Invictus Games in Whistler.
The footage even showed brief glimpses of the children helping out, while 'L-O-V-E' by Nat King Cole played in the background.
In With Love, Meghan, the former Suits actress gave hosting tips and cooks with celebrity friends including The Office star Mindy Kaling.
The Duke of Sussex makes just one appearance at the end of the first season's final episode when he joins Meghan, her mother Doria Ragland and friends for an outdoor celebratory brunch.
Meghan said it 'feels like a new chapter that I'm so excited that I get to share and I've been able to learn from all of you', in what is likely to be seen as a nod to the restrictions she felt within the royal family.
She told People magazine that her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, visited her on set, which she called 'really special because up until then, they hadn't seen me at work', and spoke about her and Harry having a daily 'nightcap recap', where they discussed their day.
'We love a theme!' Meghan declared as she showed off the results of her St Patrick's Day feast
The Duchess had spent the morning baking, clearly not put off after her cookery series was widely panned
'My husband met me when I had (the former lifestyle website) The Tig, and I see this spark in his eye when he sees me doing the thing that I was doing when he first met me,' she said. 'It's almost like a honeymoon period again.'
The Duchess also last week launched her lifestyle brand As Ever, with her website revealing her first products: raspberry jam, and the flower sprinkles she promotes throughout the show.
The second season of With Love, Meghan is coming in the autumn, and has already finished filming, according to Netflix.
Viewers had been left baffled by some of Meghan's tips and ticks, including 'elevating' foods by adding flower petals, transferring supermarket pretzels into a supermarket bag, as well as her unusual method of cooking spaghetti.
Meghan shared a number of recipes throughout the series, including for spaghetti, a honey and lemon cake and a cooked breakfast. She said her new show had helped her to 'find herself' again.
But despite her huge two-million-strong following on social media, she insisted she instead saw as a 'female founder' and 'entrepreneur' rather than an influencer.
Since Harry and Meghan signed their $80million mega deal with Netflix in 2020, there has been one smash hit and three relative duds.
Meanwhile, the Duchess is also set to launch another podcast next month.
