Martha Stewart reacts critically to Meghan Markle’s move into lifestyle programming and branding, according to reports. After Markle launches her lifestyle, cooking and hosting brand, “As Ever,” and a corresponding Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan,” in 2025, Stewart’s remarks focus on perceived comparisons between Markle and Stewart’s own reputation as a homemaking authority. Both outlets describe that Stewart’s comments are harsh, framing Markle’s transition into a “homemaking guru” role as something that draws scrutiny and inevitable comparisons.
The coverage centers on the public contrast between Stewart’s long-established homemaking and lifestyle brand and Markle’s newer efforts through her Netflix content and consumer brand. While Stewart’s specific wording is reported as a “verdict,” the overall reporting agrees that her response is negative and is prompted by Markle’s recent entry into the same broad lifestyle category, particularly through Netflix. The stories do not indicate Stewart changes or campaigns against Markle, but they present her reaction as a pointed evaluation of Markle’s attempt to occupy similar territory.
