Gwyneth Paltrow Supports Meghan Markle's Lifestyle Brand Amid Criticism

Gwyneth Paltrow has expressed her support for Meghan Markle's new lifestyle brand, As Ever, emphasizing that women should be seen as allies rather than competitors. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Paltrow stated, "Everybody deserves an attempt at everything that they want to try," reflecting her belief in the abundance of opportunities available. She also recounted a brief encounter with Markle, describing her as 'really lovely,' and expressed a desire to stand up for her amidst public scrutiny. Despite not having watched Markle's Netflix show, 'With Love, Meghan,' Paltrow conveyed a strong instinct to defend women under cultural criticism. Paltrow's comments come as Markle ventures into the lifestyle space, which has been compared to Paltrow's own brand, Goop, though she insists there is ample room for both. The actress concluded with a lighthearted remark about potentially delivering a pie to Markle and Prince Harry, highlighting her supportive stance.
