Homemaking mogul Martha Stewart said how she really felt about Meghan Markle’s entrance into the “cooking space.” “If you’re an actress, it’s hard to then transition to a princess and then from a princess into a homemaking guru on a television show,” the 85-year-old cookbook author said. Former Suits actor Meghan Markle, 45, and her husband, Prince Harry, 41, stepped down from their senior royal titles in 2020, after a falling out with a number of senior royals. Since moving to California in 2020, Markle has involved herself in various projects, including her lifestyle, cooking, and hosting brand As Ever and her Netflix series With Love, Meghan. “Authenticity, to me, is everything,” Stewart said in July 2025.
