Martha Stewart couldn't resist a subtle jab at Meghan during an event at the Nasar Paradise Island Festival.
Stewart, known for her domestic prowess, shared some candid advice for Meghan Markle in a recent interview with Billy Bush at the Nasar Paradise Island Wine and Food Festival in the Bahamas. Responding to Bush's mention of Markle aspiring to emulate Stewart's brand success, Stewart chuckled and replied, "I just read that today."
Her advice to Harry's wife was straightforward: "Produce good products that work and enhance the home, making life better. That's what it's all about."
Stewart's guidance coincides with rumors swirling around Meghan's plans to import products, possibly from China. Stewart cautioned against sacrificing quality for profit margins, warning that products made hastily with unsafe materials could tarnish Markle's brand image. She emphasized the importance of craftsmanship and expertise, traits often absent in mass-produced goods.
While Martha Stewart has been synonymous with domestic excellence for decades, Meghan Markle is reportedly venturing into her own lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. Commentators note that Markle seems to be tapping into Stewart's accomplished hostess persona. Richard K, a commentator, remarked to the Daily Maes Palace confidential, "In America, she's tapping into the Martha Stewart vibe."
However, there's skepticism regarding Markle's intentions, with some suggesting that her trademark applications could be premature. Critics speculate that Markle may be seeking partnerships to fund her endeavors while minimizing personal risk. Stewart's candid observations shed light on the challenges Markle may face as she navigates the world of branding and entrepreneurship.
Stewart's remarks follow Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's recent misstep when referring to Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, as "Kate" in a statement regarding her cancer diagnosis. The Sussexes' American-style response drew criticism, with some commentators suggesting it lacked the formality expected in royal communications. David Bull, a talk TV presenter, and Royal reporter Caroline Faraday discussed the matter, noting that the use of "Kate" instead of her formal title seemed incongruous with royal protocol.
Faraday expressed discomfort with the Sussexes' informal reference to Catherine, suggesting they should have used her royal title. She speculated that their choice of language might reflect a deeper reluctance to acknowledge Catherine's status. The discussion highlights the nuances of royal etiquette and the challenges faced by individuals transitioning from celebrity culture to the royal family's traditions.
