MARTHA STEWART THROWS SHADE AT MEGHAN MARKLE’S NETFLIX SHOW: “HAS IT STARTED?”
UNLIKE GWYNETH, MARTHA WON’T BE KISSING THE DUCHESS’S RING
Martha Stewart isn’t handing Meghan Markle any roses — or ratings.
In a now-viral interview with Access Hollywood, the queen of lifestyle coolly revealed she hadn’t watched With Love, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex’s new Netflix series. The twist? The show premiered nearly two months ago, on March 4.
“Has it started?” Stewart, 83, asked with a bemused arch of the brow, effortlessly serving the kind of withering shade that only decades of domestic dominance can buy. The moment landed like a mic drop in a sea of celebrity fluff.
“I’ll watch an episode and see how she does,” she added, before signing off with a frosty, “I’m curious.”
Translation: She’ll get around to it — eventually. Maybe.
While other A-listers like Gwyneth Paltrow have cozied up to Meghan with glowing praise and kitchen-table kinship, Stewart made it clear she’s not one to fawn. There was no performative support, no gushing approval — just classic Martha: measured, masterful, and maybe just a little mischievous.
Chef José Andrés, who was also present during the interview, rushed to Meghan’s defense, praising the 43-year-old Duchess for working with his foundation to help wildfire victims in Los Angeles.
“She wasn’t trying to take attention or anything to herself,” he said. “It was great that she was there.”
But the internet was already lit up by Martha’s barely-there reaction — a non-comment that said more than most reviews.
Verdict: Meghan may have Hollywood on her side, but when it comes to the lifestyle space, there’s still only one reigning queen — and her name is Martha.
