Meghan was suddenly “teased” by an A-list female star. Has a new underground war begun in Hollywood?

Gwyneth Paltrow’s cooking video has caused a stir on social media and is believed to be “teasing” Meghan Markle’s Netflix cooking series. This incident prompted the Duchess of Sussex to respond with another, more modest cooking video.

Gwyneth Paltrow, 52, founder of wellness brand Goop, recently posted a video of herself cooking breakfast. In the video, Paltrow is seen wearing pajamas, with no makeup on, and preparing muffins, bacon, and eggs. Many fans believe that the 52-year-old star is taking a dig at Meghan Markle’s recent Netflix cooking series, “With Love, Meghan.” The show has been criticized for being too polished and out of touch with reality.

Meghan’s series “With Love, Meghan” was filmed in a rented £6.2 million farmhouse in Montecito rather than her own home. Paltrow, meanwhile, cooked in her own kitchen, creating what she called a “healthier version of the classic breakfast.” The contrast further highlighted the differences in their lifestyles. Notably, Paltrow used the same soundtrack – “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)” by Natalie Cole – that appeared in the promo for Meghan’s Netflix project.

On social media, many were quick to pick up on the sarcasm. “Gwyneth Paltrow continues to ‘slap’ and I love it! No makeup, in her real kitchen!” , wrote one fan. Another commented: “Even the music… it’s ‘This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)’ by Natalie Cole!” . Another user commented: “And she’s trying to be as approachable as possible, in pajamas, unstyled hair, no makeup, sipping coffee. No one compliments her. Just her phone filming. Plain and simple.” . “THAT’S how to be approachable, Meghan,” commented one.

In response, Meghan shared a series of Instagram stories on Sunday, showing her in the kitchen with her friend Kelly McKee Zajfen. The duchess, dressed casually — a beige tank top and white linen pants — was preparing a “banana and granola inspired” breakfast dish. Meghan captioned one post: “When one of my best friends reinvented bananas for breakfast.” The final video shows the pair saying “Cheers” with a fork before taking a bite. Meghan exclaimed: “Yummy!” She ended with a close-up of the elegant breakfast, tagging her lifestyle brand As Ever.
