Gwyneth Paltrow's Support for Meghan Markle

Gwyneth Paltrow has recently come out in support of Meghan Markle, making waves with her thoughtful comments on the Duchess of Sussex's journey into the lifestyle arena. In a revealing cover interview with Vanity Fair, Paltrow shared her perspective on the treatment of women in the public eye, particularly in the face of societal noise and scrutiny.

The founder of the lifestyle brand Goop, Paltrow emphasized, “When there’s noise about certain women in the culture, I do have, always, a strong instinct to stand up for them.” This sentiment comes as Markle, who has been a subject of intense media scrutiny since marrying Prince Harry in 2018, launches her own venture, a lifestyle brand entitled As Ever.

Personal Connection and a Gesture of Support

While Paltrow acknowledged having met Meghan, she stressed that they aren't close friends, although she hinted at a friendly gesture: “Maybe I’ll try to get through their security detail and bring them a pie.” Her recognition of the difficulties Meghan has faced highlights the supportive dynamic she wishes to see among women in industry, asserting: “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.”

A Shift Toward Solidarity Among Women

This supportive dialogue comes alongside the launch of Markle's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, which has received mixed reviews. The varying responses from audiences reflect the ongoing divisiveness surrounding the Sussex couple, but Paltrow's endorsement of Markle signifies a shift toward solidarity among women in Hollywood and beyond.
