Martha Stewart Praises Gwyneth Paltrow, Comments on Meghan Markle's Lifestyle Brands

Martha Stewart has shared candid thoughts on Meghan Markle's emerging career as a lifestyle entrepreneur, expressing hope that Meghan is knowledgeable and authentic about her subject matter. While Stewart acknowledges Gwyneth Paltrow's success with her Goop brand, praising her as admired and powerful, she is more reserved about Markle, noting she doesn't know her well. Meghan Markle, who launched her As Ever brand and Netflix series With Love, Meghan, sees herself as an entrepreneur rather than an influencer and appreciates the learning curve involved in building her brand. Despite some skepticism from Stewart, Markle's product launches have seen notable success, with items selling out quickly. Stewart, recognized as a pioneer in lifestyle influencing, appears open to successors but emphasizes the importance of authenticity and expertise. Overall, Stewart's remarks blend guarded praise with a subtle challenge to Markle to prove her authenticity in the lifestyle space.
