Gwyneth Paltrow and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are shutting down rumors that they don’t get along with a funny Instagram collaboration.
On March 25, Paltrow decided to answer questions from fans on her Instagram story. One sent her a message that read, “Are you comprehending the Meghan Markle beef that social media says you two have?”
The Oscar winner replied, “I genuinely do not understand this at all, whatsoever.”
“Do you understand this?” Paltrow asked, before panning the camera to reveal that the former Meghan Markle was sitting beside her in her kitchen.
The former royal simply responded by taking a bite of a slice of pie and shrugging her shoulders. She started to laugh as the clip ended. Meghan also reposted the clip on her Instagram story.
Paltrow and the duchess getting together to address speculation that they were feuding comes after the “Shakespeare in Love” star recently spoke about Meghan and her new Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan,” in an interview with Vanity Fair.
She told the magazine she didn’t know Harry, Duke of Sussex, and his wife personally.
“I mean, I’ve met Meghan, who seems really lovely, but I don’t know her at all,” Paltrow said at the time.
She joked, “Maybe I’ll try to get through their security detail and bring them a pie.”
Although she had yet to see “With Love, Meghan,” Paltrow defended Meghan amid backlash from critics. The Goop founder said that when “there’s noise about certain women in the culture, I do have, always, a strong instinct to stand up for them.”
Paltrow continued,”I was raised to see other women as friends, not foes. I think there’s always more than enough to go around. Everybody deserves an attempt at everything that they want to try.”
The two women have a lot in common, as they have both made a business out of their love for lifestyle and wellness. Paltrow launched Goop in 2008, while Meghan used to run her lifestyle blog “The Tig,” which she shut down in April 2017 before announcing her engagement to Prince Harry.
Aside from “With Love, Meghan,” which has been renewed for a second season, the former “Suits” star is launching the lifestyle brand As Ever.
“’As Ever’ essentially means as it’s always been. If you followed me since 2014 with The Tig, you know I’ve always loved cooking and crafting and gardening,” Meghan said in a February Instagram. “This is what I do and I haven’t been able to share it with you in the same way for the past few years, but now I can.”
