Martha Stewart comments on Meghan Markle’s career path after a recent dinner, questioning how her public role transitions from actress to a member of the British royal family to what Stewart describes as a “homemaking guru.” Stewart says the progression “doesn’t sort of follow,” linking her critique to the way Markle discusses experiences and her public persona.

The outlets describe the same core remark, but provide limited additional detail on the context. One account says a source disputes Stewart’s characterization that Markle was discussing a European vacation, while also noting Markle enjoyed the meal and the brief meeting. Another outlet focuses on Stewart’s blunt assessment of Markle’s homemaking credentials and the apparent mismatch Stewart highlights between her earlier career and later branding. Both accounts frame the exchange as a commentary on Markle’s public narrative rather than on specific products or projects.

Across the two reports, there is agreement that Stewart directed criticism at Markle’s “homemaking” image and found the “actress-to-princess-to-guru” storyline inconsistent.
