Meghan Markle has reportedly insisted on a strict rule for her friends in the Cotswolds after being embarrassed by A-lister Martha Stewart. The Duchess of Sussex attended a dinner party alongside the lifestyle guru, and Martha later spoke about the encounter, saying: “I had dinner with Meghan Markle the other night. We were both guests at a dinner party in California. And she had just gotten back from the palace.”
Things were made worse by Martha claiming Meghan was “talking about” her visit to the UK, which she had been asked to keep under wraps by King Charles. Now the “paranoid” Duchess is allegedly asking anyone she has dinner with to sign a non-disclosure agreement before she will join them.
Source: 'No signature, no Meghan'
A source told celebrity reporter Rob Shuter: “Meghan is deadly serious, if there's any chance private or royal matters will be discussed, she wants an NDA in place before she even says yes. No signature, no Meghan.”
The source added: “Meghan's position is simple: what happens around her dinner table stays there. She's not taking chances anymore.”
Dinner party rumours denied
Rumours about that fateful dinner party with Meghan and Martha abounded on both sides, with one source telling People: “I sat next to Meghan at the dinner party, and this account of what happened is simply untrue. Meghan didn't talk about her European vacation other than to say the family had a great time.”
They added: “Meghan has always been a fan of Martha's and enjoyed getting to meet her briefly at the dinner.”
