Homemaking expert Martha Stewart is sharing her thoughts about Meghan Markle’s career as a “homemaking guru” in a new cover story for People.
The lifestyle mogul was asked how she felt about Markle entering her domain with her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, a lifestyle and cooking show starring Markle, after Prince Harry and Markle stepped away from royal duties in their roles as Duke and Duchess of Sussex in 2020.
In response, Stewart said, “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. It doesn’t sort of follow. So go from there.”
Stewart also revealed that she recently attended a dinner party with Markle but said, “I didn’t talk to her really more than to say a couple words.”
In 2025, Stewart told Access Hollywood that she would “watch an episode” of With Love, Meghan and “see how she does.”

In a later interview with Yahoo Lifestyle, Stewart spoke about Markle and her show again, saying, “Meghan, I don’t really know very well, and I hope she knows what she’s talking about. Authenticity, to me, is everything, and to be authentic and knowledgeable about your subject matter is extremely important.”
Markle and Harry stepped back from royal duties in 2020, moved to the U.S., and, since then, they have launched numerous initiatives, including a Netflix production deal and their media company, Archewell Productions.
Markle previously said she was “flattered” to be compared to Stewart and Gwyneth Paltrow during an interview as a guest on Aspire with Emma Grede.
“There are so many comparisons right now. It’s like people are saying, you’re the next Martha Stewart, you’re the next Gwyneth Paltrow,” Grede said to Markle.
“Those are incredibly successful business women, so I don’t take that lightly. That means a lot if there’s any comparison made in that regard,” Markle responded.
With Love, Meghan aired for two seasons on Netflix but has not yet been renewed for a third.
In March, a spokesperson for Markle said the lifestyle series will continue “as seasonal specials” but no airdate for a new episode has been announced.
Markle has not publicly commented on Stewart’s comments as of this writing.
God Bless Martha Stewart

Yo Bertha I mean Martha.
Would have been fun to see her on married w/ children with Al going at her.
Lol
Going from a TV star, products inventor, cook etc to a convicted prisoner, then back to an entitled entrepreneur/fellon also doesn’t quite follow. Maybe MS should keep her opinions to herself in her glass house!
coming for an old prison inmate that did a lot of fisting in the prison shower. nobody cares
Who’s Megan Markle and Who is Martha Stewart.
There you have at the end, Markle didnt even say, Thank you oh my God, these are wonderful comparisons, to whomever was paid to tell Markle shes wonderful LOL!!! SO NOT!! Take out an o and you have snot! No the narcissist says, ‘oh its an honor’. All about Meghan, as usual. Martha is right, she has made too may shifts to be taken seriously at all. Im not sure who is saying these things other than herself, or Markle’s friends. I havent ever heard or seen a ‘real’ chef compliment her or her show. Just sayin’. Reality you lost souls relaity. I saw a show, I can cook better than Meghan fcol. Hey Martha, can you, Snoop, and I go hang n cook, show her how its done? lol ya.
Martha Stewart is irrelevant and should keep her big mouth shut.
Markle is wishy washy and a huge joke!!
Oh Stewart you old bag. Time to drink yourself st*pid again. Should only take one drink. Go back to obscurity.
lol. Martha Stewart a convicted felon. Enough said.
If I’m looking for authenticity, Markle is the very last person I would go to. She didn’t even do her own podcast interviews, lol.
F/ OFF MARTHA ! U SHOULD BE BACK IN JAIL !!!
looks like a couple of sad markle groupies comments here. wonder if theh got paid?
Well said Martha.
Martha Stewart sounds like a jealous, bitter woman who does herself no credit by attacking Meghan in such a manner. As I recall, Martha was a model, then a stockbroker, then a host as a homemaking guru who spent time in jail, so to try to shame Meghan as an actress, a “princess” (she is a duchess, Martha) and now a homemaking guru is just spiteful. Anyone should be allowed to achieve and enjoy success in their lives. Meghan is showing grace in her response to the negative attacks.
How did Meghan do? Martha is asked. Let’s begin with which one of them spent time in jail for dishonesty?
