Martha Stewart attended a California dinner party with Markle.

The family met Charles, 77, and Camilla, 79, for tea at Highgrove during the trip – the King's first meeting with his daughter-in-law and grandchildren since 2022.

Speaking to People, Stewart, 85, disclosed: "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."

Stewart's revelation prompted criticism from some royal followers, who argued Markle should have maintained the traditional privacy surrounding conversations and meetings with the monarch and not opened up about them.

Royal fans reacting to Stewart's disclosure questioned why details surrounding a sensitive family reunion were apparently being discussed socially so soon after the Sussexes returned to California.

Others argued that merely discussing the visit did not necessarily mean Markle had revealed anything confidential about Charles, Camilla or what was said during their meeting.

Stewart questioned Markle's transition into a lifestyle guru.

Stewart was also asked what she thought about Meghan entering the lifestyle and homemaking industry following the launch of her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan.

She said: "If you're an actress, it's hard to then transition to a princess and then from a princess into a homemaking guru on a television show. It doesn't sort of follow. So go from there."

The remarks come during a busy period for Markle, who has expanded her lifestyle interests alongside the media ventures she shares with Harry.

Markle became internationally known playing Rachel Zane in Suits before marrying Harry in 2018.

Harry has continued his work with the Invictus Games, the sporting competition for wounded, injured and sick military personnel and veterans that he founded.
