The queen of the kitchen is adding a dash of spice to the narrative surrounding Duchess Meghan’s Netflix show.
In a new Access Hollywood interview, Martha Stewart was asked about Meghan’s new lifestyle program, “With Love,” and admitted that she has “not seen the show yet,” which has drawn comparisons to Stewart’s media empire.
“Has it started?” Stewart then asked, even though “With Love” made headlines when it debuted in March. “I’ll watch an episode and see how she does.”
The Martha Stewart Omnimedia founder said she was “curious” about the show.
The comments came as Stewart promotes a new NBC cooking competition series, “Yes Chef!” with World Central Kitchen chef José Andrés, a friend of the former royal and her husband, Prince Harry, who followed his co-star’s comments by saying, “I love Meghan.”
On April 23, Meghan revealed that she and Stewart’s mutual friend would be a special guest on the second season of “With Love” during the TIME100 summit in New York City.
“We haven’t revealed things about Season 2 and that’ll come through later. But I can apologize in advance for saying José Andrés is going to be on Season 2. We love José so much,” Meghan told TIME CEO Jessica Sibley.
The Duchess of Sussex also got candid about her newfound happiness while discussing her new business ventures, including podcast “Confessions of a Female Founder” and “With Love.”
“I think the confession for you today, that I could very comfortably say, is I’m the happiest I’ve ever been,” Meghan said. “Of all the things that have happened in my life, I never would have imagined that getting here, at this point, I feel just so happy and grateful. I really do.”
This year, Meghan reentered the public eye and reemerged with a pair of pre-Harry-inspired pursuits: a Netflix show, “With Love,” and a companion lifestyle brand, As Ever. Before meeting Harry, she was the curator of a successful lifestyle blog, The Tig.
Martha Stewart previously slammed former friend Ina Garten
The lifestyle maven is known to cook up beef with fellow lifestyle brand competitors, including taking aim at former friend Ina Garten in September.
Snoop Dogg’s BFF called out the Barefoot Contessa in a profile for The New Yorker about the latter’s life and career, telling the outlet that Garten stopped talking to her when she went to prison for insider trading in 2004.
“When I was sent off to Alderson Prison, she stopped talking to me,” Stewart told The New Yorker in an interview published on Sept. 9. “I found that extremely distressing and extremely unfriendly.” However, Garten told the outlet the former friends lost touch when Stewart spent more time at a new property in Bedford, New York.
The lifestyle guru served an infamous five-month sentence for lying to federal investigators about a stock sale. In March of 2005, she was released from Federal Prison Camp Alderson in West Virginia.
After Stewart’s comments to The New Yorker, her publicist and friend Susan Magrino tried to clarify to the outlet that the ex-Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model was “not bitter at all and there’s no feud.”
