Meghan Markle's career has been savaged by cooking legend Martha Stewart.

Stewart, who Meghan has been accused of copying before, said it must be hard transitioning from an actress, to a royal, and then a "homemaking guru". The 85-year-old's comments come after she was recently at a dinner party in California also attended by Meghan Markle.

The cooking legend revealed her true feelings on Meghan entering a similar industry to her with her cooking show "With Love, Meghan".

She told People: "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."

When asked about Meghan's cooking show, Stewert 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."
