Meghan Markle has been called out for her latest disrespect towards royal family.

The Duchess of Sussex, who recently visited Highgrove House alongside her children to meet King Charles, spelt detail details about her visit during a gala event in California.

Sharing Meghan’s alleged error, lifestyle expert Martha Stewart revealed: “I had dinner with Meghan Marklethe other night. We were both guests at a dinner party in California. And she had just gotten back from the palace. I didn’t talk to her really more than to say a couple words, but I know she was talking about it.

A royal commentator has now labelled Meghan “incredibly stupid”

The Daily Beast’s European Editor at Large, Tom Sykes, said: “If you look carefully at what Martha actually said, she was talking in pretty vague terms.

“She certainly wasn’t claiming Meghan was spilling every last detail of what happened at Highgrove [when the Sussexes met the King].”

Mr Sykes said: “Implying that Martha, 85, is a dotty old lady is an incredibly stupid thing to do, especially for Meghan, who enjoys very little public goodwill.”

Mr Sykes concluded: “Meghan has made a big, big mistake here, and I don’t think we’ve heard the end of it. It’s the middle of August, traditionally a dead period for real news. If someone can get anything further out of Martha Stewart, what should have been a half-hour story will become a seven-day saga that dominates the news cycle. And how will Meghan react to that?”
