US actress Gwyneth Paltrow has defended Meghan Markle's lifestyle brand.
The Duchess of Sussex launched her lifestyle brand, As Ever, alongside her recently released Netflix series, With Love Meghan, which has hit the platform's top 10 programmes globally last week, despite savage reviews from critics.
The brand's products which are not yet on sale, include a small selection of jams, flower sprinkles, herbal tea, and ready-mixes.
Speaking recently, Gwyneth Paltrow has defended Meghan Markle over her brand.
While explaining that she does not know Meghan well, Paltrow said that she "seems really lovely".
Adding that she has not watched, With Love, Meghan herself, Gwyneth Paltrow stated that "there’s noise about certain women in the culture, I do have, always, a strong instinct to stand up for them".
"I was raised to see other women as friends, not foes," Paltrow added. "I think there’s always more than enough to go around. Everybody deserves an attempt at everything that they want to try".
The Oscar winner also said her mother told her that "another woman is never your competition," and "what is right for you will find you".
Gwyneth Paltrow runs her own lifestyle brand, Goop, which includes products like egg-shaped and unusually titled candle products.
