Royal news just took an unexpected turn, and watchers did not see this one coming. Lifestyle queen Martha Stewart has taken a pointed swipe at Meghan Markle’s new venture. In a sharp new interview, the 83-year-old mogul questioned whether Meghan has what it takes. Keep scrolling to know more.
Royal News Divides As Stewart Questions Meghan’s Knowledge
During her interview with Yahoo Lifestyle, Stewart was straightforward. She said she didn’t know Meghan well and hoped Meghan understood her subject. Stewart made one thing clear. For her, authenticity matters most. According to her, it isn’t optional. If someone is going to enter the lifestyle space, they need to know it inside out. Without that, it simply doesn’t work.
What caught more attention was her clear support for Gwyneth Paltrow. Stewart called her powerful and admired. She praised her business ventures and even brought up her Oscar win. She said Gwyneth had built a real empire. The tone couldn’t have been more different from how she spoke about Meghan.
Public Reactions Get Messy As Meghan’s Projects Face Scrutiny
After walking away from royal life, Meghan and Harry didn’t slow down. They moved forward with fresh brands and major business deals. But not every project has been a hit. Meghan’s “As Ever” brand launched with much fanfare earlier this year. She also debuted her Netflix series “With Love, Meghan,” which was renewed for a second season despite negative reviews.
Critics were quick to jump in. One of the loudest was jam expert Donna Collins, who called out Meghan’s apricot fruit spread. Collins called it disappointing and said it’s the kind of product jam-makers sell when a batch doesn’t turn out right. She added that a proper product should be flawless. “There’s no excuse,” she said. “Whoever is making her spread doesn’t know what they are doing.”
The criticism didn’t end there. Social media lit up with opinions. Some royal watchers backed Meghan, saying she’s just carving her path. Others felt she was diving into a space she hadn’t earned yet. And the word “narcissistic” trended again. And the royal faithful compared her harshly to Princess Kate, who has kept a low profile during her recovery but remains popular. Meghan has yet to respond to the criticism. And as the spotlight grows hotter, silence might not be enough. For more royal news and updates, follow Soap Opera Daily.
