A source who attended the same California dinner party has disputed Martha Stewart's recent comments about Meghan Markle, saying the television personality's recollection of the evening is "simply untrue."

Source Disputes Stewart's Recollection

Questions have emerged over comments Martha Stewart made about Meghan Markle following a recent California dinner party.
During an interview, Stewart recalled attending the gathering and suggested that the Duchess of Sussex had recently returned from meeting members of the Royal Family in the United Kingdom. Stewart also indicated that Meghan was discussing the visit with other guests.
However, a source who hosted the dinner has now challenged that version of events, insisting the conversation was far more limited.
"Meghan didn't talk about her European vacation other than to say the family had a great time," the source said, adding that Stewart's description of the evening was "simply untrue."
The source also noted that Meghan has long admired Stewart and enjoyed briefly meeting her during the event.

Royal Reunion Mentioned In Interview

Stewart made the remarks while discussing her approach to social gatherings, explaining that she prefers arriving shortly before dinner is served and leaving soon after dessert.
While reflecting on the evening, she said she exchanged only a few words with Meghan but believed the Duchess was speaking with others about her recent trip.
The European visit included a rare reunion between Meghan, Prince Harry, their children, and King Charles. The family gathering reportedly took place at Highgrove House, the King's country estate, rather than at a royal palace.

Stewart Also Shared Thoughts On Meghan's TV Career

During the same interview, Stewart was also asked about Meghan's lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan.
Stewart commented on the challenges of moving from an acting career into royal life before launching a homemaking television brand, suggesting it is an unconventional career path.
The differing accounts from Stewart and the dinner party source have now placed fresh attention on what was actually discussed during the private gathering.
