Meghan Markle reportedly planned a business-minded response after Martha Stewart criticized her lifestyle pivot. The Duchess of Sussex was said to be upset by comments about her shift from actress to princess to homemaking figure. A new source claimed she would not start a public feud. Instead, the former “Suits” actress allegedly wanted to answer through the lifestyle market. The report framed the clash in terms of television, branding, and market share.
Meghan Markle to ‘hit back’ at Martha Stewart ‘where it matters most,’ per source
According to a Star Magazine report, Martha Stewart commented on Meghan Markle’s lifestyle move. Stewart told People that Meghan had discussed her recent UK trip with Prince Harry. She then addressed the duchess’s Netflix show, “With Love, Meghan.”
Stewart said going from actress to princess to homemaking guru “doesn’t sort of follow.” A source claimed Stewart was “very territorial” about the lifestyle space. The insider also called her “very catty.”
Meanwhile, the source said the comments left Meghan “fuming.” However, the insider claimed the duchess would avoid a direct feud with Martha Stewart. The source said, “She’s not going to get into a war of words.”
Instead, the insider claimed Meghan planned to “hit her where it matters most.” That meant trying to take “some of her market share.” The source added that it might not happen immediately. Still, Meghan was allegedly “vowing it will happen.”
However, the report said Meghan viewed Stewart‘s comments as competitive pressure. The source claimed the remarks were “proof” that Stewart was “running scared.” The insider said Meghan planned to “keep at it” because she was sincere.
The source added, “Cooking has always been a passion for her.” For context, StarMagazine also mentioned Stewart’s past rivalry with Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop brand. For Meghan Markle, the reported response was not a shouting match. It was a long-term lifestyle push inside Martha Stewart’s own lane.
