Martha Stewart Reverse Seared Meghan Markle's Cooking Show

Martha Stewart marked her 85th birthday with a People magazine cover and, in the story, referenced an encounter involving Meghan Markle—adding fuel to an already tense media backdrop. Stewart said she had dinner with Markle “the other night” at a dinner party in California, shortly after Markle returned “from the palace.” Stewart also commented on whether Markle’s cooking show is moving into Stewart’s space, arguing that it’s difficult for an actress to transition to a princess and then to a home-and-lifestyle TV figure. Her remarks followed Netflix’s decision in January not to renew Markle’s With Love, Meghan for a third season. The piece also notes Stewart previously criticized Markle last year.
