Martha Stewart Questions Meghan Markle’s Authenticity as Her Show Returns
As Meghan Markle prepares to release the second season of her lifestyle show With Love, Meghan this autumn, not everyone seems fully convinced about her place in the lifestyle world.
In a recent interview, Martha Stewart — a legendary figure in the lifestyle industry — made a subtle but noticeable remark about Meghan. While Meghan has often been compared to successful women like Gwyneth Paltrow and Stewart herself, Martha didn’t offer full support when asked about the Duchess.
She said,
“Meghan, I don't really know very well, and I hope she knows what she's talking about. Authenticity, to me, is everything.”
This statement came across as a gentle hint of doubt, especially because she stressed how important it is to be “authentic and knowledgeable” in your field — a subtle suggestion that Meghan might still have to prove herself.
Meanwhile, when Martha was asked about Gwyneth Paltrow, she had nothing but praise. She complimented Gwyneth’s success, her business empire (Goop), and even pointed out that she’s an Oscar-winning actress — calling her “pretty powerful.”
Meghan’s Response and the Bigger Picture
Meghan, for her part, has responded positively to comparisons with Martha and Gwyneth. She once said:
“Those are incredibly successful businesswomen... that means a lot if there's any comparison.”
She clearly admires them and sees herself striving toward similar success.
But Stewart’s careful choice of words makes it clear: respect in the lifestyle industry doesn’t come easy, especially from someone as established as Martha.
This isn't the first time Martha’s been asked about Meghan. Back in April, when Meghan’s Netflix show With Love, Meghan was mentioned, Stewart admitted she hadn’t watched it — but said she’d “check out an episode.”
What’s Next?
The second season of With Love, Meghan is expected to launch this autumn. While Meghan continues to grow her brand and voice, it’s clear that she still faces skepticism — especially from icons who’ve been building lifestyle empires for decades.
In Summary:
-
Martha Stewart politely hinted at doubts about Meghan Markle’s authenticity.

-
Stewart praised Gwyneth Paltrow but remained reserved about Meghan.
