But what happened next to her is shocking. The fan, a woman identified as Robin Patrick from Maryland, claims that she got "catastrophic burns" after using Meghan's bath salt and she has now threatened to file a $10 million lawsuit against the Duchess.
Robin Patrick told RadarOnline.com, '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.' But she felt more burning sensations on her hand and arm.
She claimed that she then drained the tub and applied some lotion on her body, but got no relief. Later she used a lidocaine spray, which reduced the pain a bit.
The woman further claimed that that evening she showered again and "experienced intense burning as water contacted the affected areas, which had developed into ulcers.'
However, 'To date, the burns are still not healed and are quite uncomfortable. The others are just sore as heck to touch... These symptoms have disrupted my daily and nightly routines, preventing me from taking warm showers or wearing clothing over the affected areas.
'
What's worsened her condition is the fact that she is diabetic. And so, she fears 'the risk of infection, sepsis, or other complications.'
As per reports, Patrick is demanding at least $75,000 to cover her medical expenses, along with $10 million in damages from Meghan Markle, Netflix, and Archewell Productions, citing their 'reckless disregard for public safety'.

She wants to prevent similar incidents in the future to anybody else too. However, Patrick is also open to settle the matter out of court is a fair financial agreement is amde, her lawyer said.
On the contrary, Meghan's lawyer Cameron Stracher responded to Patrick's allegations and said that the woman should have been careful and aware of the risks of using Epsom salts, reported RadarOnline.com.
Meanwhile, this is not the first time that Meghan Markle is in the midst of a controversy.

Squid Game's Lee Jung-jae reveals when he will be able to say goodbye to his popular character Seong Gi-hun
Actor Lee Jung-Jae says he is yet to say goodbye to player number 456 or Seong Gi-hun of hit show Squid Game. The third and final season of Squid Game, the globally popular Netflix series, has wrapped production. Jung-Jae shot to international stardom with his performance as the perpetually down-on-his-luck yet kind-hearted Gi-hun in the first season of the smash hit Netflix series in 2021. He won a Primetime Emmy award and multiple other trophies for the show. (Also Read | Squid Game Season 3: Lee Jung-jae says he's 'very nervous' about fan reactions) Jung-Jae returned for the much-anticipated second season in 2024 and is now awaiting the release of the third season on June 27. 'We haven't released season three yet and we still don't know how the audiences are going to respond to season three, I haven't said goodbye to Gi-hun yet although we have wrapped production,' he said. "As an actor and as part of those that have created the show, I feel like seeing how the audience responds to it is also part of the journey. So when we get to do that, then I think I'll be ready to say goodbye," Jung-Jae told PTI in a virtual interview through the help of an interpreter. Squid Game, created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, revolves around a deadly contest where 456 players, all facing financial hardship, play a series of deadly children's games to win 45.6 billion won in prize money. At the end of the first season, Gi-hun won the prize money but instead of going back to his life, he set out to end the deadly games for good. The second season saw Gi-hun return to the games with a mission — to uncover the true identity of the mastermind. Whether he succeeds in his mission or not will be revealed in the upcoming third season. Jung-Jae, 52, a renowned face in the South Korean film and television industry with credits such as An Affair, Il Mare, The Housemaid, Hunt and drama series Chief of Staff, said while playing Gi-hun he was reminded of values people tend to overlook in daily life. 'The biggest lessons that I felt by portraying Gi-hun and also through Squid Game, is that there are so many things that we think we are aware of, but we tend to forget in life,' he added. "Some of them being the importance of understanding other people and genuinely helping others when they are in need. Squid Game is definitely a show that has given me the opportunity to reflect and look back on these important messages," he said. The actor said people often ask how similar he is to Gi-hun, and he believes they share many traits. "As I'm the actor who portrayed Gi-hun, my own interpretation of the character went into creating him. So we are quite similar," he said. Asked about the reason why Korean storytellers tend to tackle issues like inequality and the gap between rich and poor with nuance, Jung-Jae said it is not unusual as the Korean entertainment industry loves to explore a variety of themes. "And these themes are explored in a very free way through which a lot of different messages can be conveyed. I think that's the power that recent Korean content has. Whether it's a social message or political or even if it's about romance, when we explore a particular theme, we dive into it, really get to the heart of it all, and try to express it in as free a way as possible. That's what's unique about Korean content and also why it's so powerful these days," he said. Season three of Squid Game will also feature Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-joon, Im Si-wan, Park Sung-hoon, Kang Ha-neul, Park Gyu-young, Yang Dong-geun, Jo Yu-ri, Lee David, and Roh Jae-won.

From Irrfan Khan's 'Angrezi Medium' to Nani-Mrunal Thakur's 'Hi Nanna' on Netflix- What to watch on OTT this Father's Day
Whether it's the emotional volatility in Gulmohar, or the raw desperation of Bloody Daddy, fatherhood today is no longer cast in stone, it's sculpted in real time read more Once relegated to the edges of storytelling, stern, stoic, symbolic the Indian father is stepping into the emotional foreground. Thanks to the rise of long-form storytelling on OTT platforms, we're seeing men shed their armour, not in grand gestures, but in moments of quiet vulnerability. Whether it's the emotional volatility in Gulmohar, or the raw desperation of Bloody Daddy, fatherhood today is no longer cast in stone, it's sculpted in real time. These aren't caricatures of masculinity; they're characters learning to parent as they unlearn the past. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD From Irrfan Khan's 'Angrezi Medium' to Nani-Mrunal Thakur's 'Hi Nanna' on Netflix, here's what to watch on OTT this Father's Day: Angrezi Medium This was a spiritual sequel to the 2017 hit Hindi Medium that chronicled a funny yet fragile dynamic between a father and his daughter, played by Irrfan Khan and Radhika Madan. Their relationship goes through a lot of amusing and aching ups and downs before they are reunited forever. Gullak In Gullak on SonyLIV, the father figure is neither hero nor tyrant. He exists in the quotidian rhythms of middle-class life: torn between EMI pressures, adolescent children, and silent sacrifices. The Family Man And The Family Man on Prime Video pushes the trope even further, featuring a sensational performance by Manoj Bajpayee, centring on a national security officer whose biggest blind spot isn't geopolitics, but parenting. These portrayals ground fatherhood in realism: flawed, humorous, fallible, but deeply resonant. Bloody Daddy Shahid Kapoor in this film, appropriately bruised and exhausted, is a single father who's not what he seems to be. At first, he seems to be channelling his inner Sunny from Farzi, biting more than he can chew but also having his cake and eating it too. When he tells that watchman he's from Narcotics Bureau, I thought he was bluffing, but no, he indeed is. He's a bloody daddy because his son has been kidnapped and he's angry, very very angry. And his son, his estranged wife think he's barely good for anything, and indirectly through their tense conversations, they may have exploded in their head- Bloody Daddy. Hi Nanna Nani and Mrunal Thakur's film is now streaming on Netflix. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD A doting father and his 6-year-old daughter find their lives taking a dramatic turn when the woman he loves marries someone else. The film has all the emotional undercurrents to keep you invested and glued with moist eyes.
