Celebrity chef Martha Stewart has expressed irritation and annoyance over comparisons between herself and Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex. The comparisons emerged following Meghan’s launch of her lifestyle and cookery brand, American Riviera Orchard. Some have hailed Meghan’s venture as a move into the lifestyle industry, drawing parallels to celebrities like Martha Stewart. However, Stewart has dismissed the comparisons, asserting that Meghan is a ‘rookie’ compared to her decades of experience in building her brand.
