Recently, Meghan Markle and Gwyneth Paltrow not only hung out but also dismissed feud rumors all at once in a joint Instagram video. Paltrow posted a fun response to her stories by replying to a fan Q&A that asked whether she was “comprehending the Meghan Markle beef that social media says you two have?” In the clip, the actor appeared to be sitting in a kitchen/dining room area and started by saying, “I genuinely do not understand this at all whatsoever.”
The star then panned the camera to her side, showing Markle and asking, “Do you understand this?” The latter, who sat comfortably and enjoyed a snack, almost immediately shrugged in response to Paltrow’s satirical question, showing that she was equally clueless about the feud rumors. Following this, the Duchess of Sussex continued snacking on her slice of pie, taking a mouthful of the baked treat while enjoying her comfy time with her rumored rival. After all, these two might just be the new best friends in town.
Reportedly, the rumors of a feud between Meghan Markle and Gwyneth Paltrow sparked over their respective but similar businesses. Netizens speculated the “beef” between them as the latter already owns a lifestyle brand, Goop, and Markle launched her brand, As Ever, not long ago, officially stepping into the wellness industry. Paltrow told Vanity Fair that she holds no ill feelings about the British Royal’s latest venture and even extended her support, “[When] there’s noise about certain women in the culture, I do have, always, a strong instinct to stand up for them.”
