Meghan Markle’s neighbor Gwyneth Paltrow ‘doesn’t know her at all,’ weighs in on ‘attempt’ at lifestyle brand

foxnews.com:

Gwyneth Paltrow, famous not only for her acting career but also for her lifestyle empire, Goop, is weighing in on Meghan Markle's own pivot to the lifestyle space.

Paltrow spoke with Vanity Fair for their April cover story, confirming she and Markle and Prince Harry are neighbors, but not particularly close. "I don’t know Meghan and Harry," she said, adding, "I mean, I’ve met Meghan, who seems really lovely, but I don’t know her at all." Paltrow joked, "Maybe I’ll try to get through their security detail and bring them a pie." The Oscar-winner admitted she hadn't seen the trailer for Markle's Netflix series, "With Love, Meghan," yet and didn't appear familiar with her As Ever lifestyle brand, but was supportive of the Duchess of Sussex.

She said, referring to the backlash Markle has received, when "there’s noise about certain women in the culture, I do have, always, a strong instinct to stand up for them." "I was raised to see other women as friends, not foes," Paltrow continued. "I think there’s always more than enough to go around.

Everybody deserves an attempt at everything that they want to try." Paltrow appeared to relate to the comparisons Markle is going through to herself and other lifestyle moguls like Martha Stewart.
