Gwyneth Paltrow and Meghan Markle have a “text friendship”.

The Oscar-winning actor has revealed she keeps in touch with the Duchess of Sussex – who has been married to Prince Harry since 2018 – via text message, although the celebrity duo have “not yet” spent a lot of time together in person.

“We have a text friendship so far. I’ve been travelling quite a bit,” Paltrow, 52, told People.

The movie star rubbished online speculation she has any problems with Meghan, 43.

“I don’t like that, when people try to pit women against each other,” she said.

The Hollywood star also revealed she’s open to the idea of appearing on With Love, Meghan, the duchess’s lifestyle show.

“Sure! Why not? You never know. I don’t bake that well, but I can always try,” Paltrow said.

Earlier in 2025, Paltrow dismissed the idea she sees Meghan as “competition”.

The actor has enjoyed significant success with her Goop wellness brand, but doesn’t consider the duchess a rival.

“I was raised to see other women as friends, not foes. I think there’s always more than enough to go around,” said Paltrow, who has focused her attention on her wellness brand in recent years.

“Everybody deserves an attempt at everything that they want to try. Another woman is never your competition.”

Meanwhile, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos recently said Meghan’s influence on culture had flown under the radar.

He observed that “people are fascinated with Meghan Markle” and her influence extended into various spheres, including fashion.

“I think Meghan is underestimated in terms of her influence on culture,” Sarandos told Variety.

“When we dropped the trailer for the Harry & Meghan doc series, everything on-screen was dissected in the press for days.

“The shoes she was wearing sold out all over the world. The Hermes blanket that was on the chair behind her sold out everywhere in the world.
