Meghan Markle Faces Fresh Humiliation as Martha Stewart Snubs Her New Brand
It seems like Meghan Markle just can’t catch a break. In a new blow to her business ambitions, her latest lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, has been snubbed by none other than Martha Stewart. The legendary businesswoman and TV personality has reportedly made it clear that she’s not a fan of Meghan’s latest venture—even going so far as to call her "irritating" and "insulting."
And today, we have yet another setback for Meghan Markle as her new brand struggles to gain traction among Hollywood’s elite.
After being previously ignored by Gwyneth Paltrow, who did not follow Meghan’s brand on Instagram, speculation arose—would Martha Stewart support Meghan’s new venture? A quick check on Instagram confirmed the answer: Martha is not following Meghan’s brand, delivering yet another public snub.
Martha Stewart’s Harsh Opinion on Meghan
This shouldn’t come as a surprise. Reports indicate that Martha Stewart has long been unimpressed with Meghan, allegedly finding comparisons between them to be both irritating and insulting.
According to sources cited by In Touch Magazine, Martha believes:
“Martha has seen hundreds of ‘Meghan types’ come and go. They arrive with the same overhyped image, only to realize that the real business world is much tougher than they expected.”
The insider also revealed that Martha is tired of being asked about Meghan’s ventures and finds the comparisons ridiculous. Martha built her brand from the ground up through hard work, hands-on experience, and a unique vision—qualities she reportedly believes Meghan lacks.
With her Netflix deal coming to an end in 2025, reports suggest Meghan is attempting to position herself as a rival to lifestyle icons like Martha Stewart, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Ina Garten. However, without the backing of these major industry figures, her brand faces an uphill battle.
A source explained:
“If Meghan thinks she can replicate Martha’s success just because she’s married to a prince, she’s in for a rude awakening. Martha is still as competitive as ever and won’t hesitate to defend her territory.”
This sentiment was echoed by royal commentator Kinsey Schofield, who told TalkTV:
“Martha spent decades building her brand through hard work and originality. If Meghan becomes any real competition, Martha won’t hold back.”
As if being snubbed by two major lifestyle moguls wasn’t enough, Meghan’s brand is also facing legal trouble. Reports suggest that elements of her brand’s logo may have been copied from Spain’s official coat of arms, leading to potential legal action from Spanish authorities.
Additionally, the name "American Riviera Orchard" has sparked controversy, as a company with a similar name has existed since 2015. These ongoing issues raise further questions about the originality of Meghan’s brand.
Meghan Markle’s attempts to break into the lifestyle space are facing serious challenges. With A-list figures like Martha Stewart and Gwyneth Paltrow distancing themselves, her brand may struggle to gain credibility.
What do you think? Is Martha Stewart right to ignore Meghan’s brand? Do you agree with her alleged opinion that Meghan is "irritating" and "insulting"? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
