Martha Stewart has disclosed that she and Meghan Markle had recently been guests at the same dinner party in California.<\/p>\n

According to the lifestyle icon, the Duchess of Sussex had only just returned from a visit to Highgrove House when the two found themselves at the gathering.<\/p>\n

Despite being at the same event, Ms Stewart indicated the pair barely exchanged words.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t talk to her really more than to say a couple words, but I know she was talking about it,” she told People, referring to Meghan’s UK trip.<\/p>\n

The lifestyle guru also took aim at Meghan’s professional evolution, describing the Duchess of Sussex’s shift across vastly different careers as lacking coherence.<\/p>\n

In an interview published today, the 85-year-old lifestyle mogul cast doubt on whether such a path made sense.<\/p>\n

“If you’re an actress, it’s hard to then transition to a princess and then from a princess into a homemaking guru on a television show,” Ms Stewart said. “It doesn’t sort of follow. So go from there.”<\/p>\n

The pointed remarks were directed at Meghan’s Netflix cooking programme, With Love, Meghan, which has drawn repeated comparisons to Ms Stewart’s own long-established empire.<\/p>\n

Ms Stewart also offered a glimpse into her own approach to social occasions, describing herself as someone her friends nickname “LIFO: last in, first out,” preferring to arrive just as guests sit down and depart shortly after dessert.<\/p>\n

It is not the first time Ms Stewart has expressed reservations about Meghan’s credentials in the lifestyle arena.<\/p>\n

In July last year, she told Yahoo Lifestyle that she did not know the duchess particularly well, adding: “I hope she knows what she’s talking about.”<\/p>\n

On that occasion, Ms Stewart stressed the importance of authenticity, making clear that genuinely understanding one’s subject matter was essential for anyone operating in the space.<\/p>\n

The comments came as Meghan was building out her commercial ventures beyond acting, a trajectory that has consistently attracted scrutiny from established figures in the homemaking industry.<\/p>\n

Meghan’s Netflix series With Love, Meghan debuted on March 4, 2025 and ran for two seasons, featuring the duchess alongside various guests as they prepared dishes and shared entertaining tips.<\/p>\n

However, the programme is not expected to be commissioned for a third run on the streaming platform.<\/p>\n

Alongside the show, Meghan launched her lifestyle brand, As Ever, in 2025, further expanding her portfolio of post-royal ventures.<\/p>\n

She and Prince Harry have pursued a range of professional projects since stepping back from royal duties in 2020 and relocating to the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Martha Stewart has disclosed that she and Meghan Markle had recently been guests at the same dinner party…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":728775,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,1328,100,1852,2331,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-728774","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-king-charles","tag-meghan-markle","tag-royal","tag-sgg","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/728774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=728774"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/728774\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/728775"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=728774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=728774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=728774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
