Meghan Markle has tried to reach out to Martha Stewart directly after the latter made shocking remarks about the Duchess.

This has been claimed by royal and Hollywood expert Rob Shuter in his latest piece for Naughty But Nice substack.

According to reports, Martha said she had recently attended a California dinner with Meghan after the Duchess returned from the palace, and suggested Prince Harry’s wife had been gossiping about the trip, where she and her family reunited with King Charles.

The host of the event contacted the People and called Martha’s account “simply untrue,” insisting Meghan said nothing about the European trip beyond “the family had a great time.”

Martha was even described as “confused.”

Following the celebrity standoff, the expert has claimed that Meghan is trying to reach out to Martha for peace.

Now comes the twist: “I’m told Meghan has tried to reach Martha directly,” Rob said.

“Meghan would rather talk to Martha directly than let this become a bigger thing,” the insider tells the expert.

“She wants to clear the air and doesn’t want this hanging over them.”

Martha had told the People magazine, “I had dinner with Meghan Markle the 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.”

It came after reports Prince Harry and Meghan have reached an agreement with the monarch not to disclose anything about their meeting as they are “trying so hard to build back trust” after airing their own grievances about royal life so publicly.
