Royal expert, Ingrid Seward, has claimed that Meghan Markle has a pattern of ‘alienating former friends’ and ‘cutting them off’ if they upset her, causing distress to those affected. According to Seward, the Duchess of Sussex’s abrupt way of ending close relationships has led to dissatisfaction among people who have experienced it. Seward explained, “Well, I think that Meghan has managed to alienate a lot of her former friends. She does something which is very distressing for people. She actually sort of just cuts them dead and ghosts them, as it’s called.”
In an interview with The Sun, Ingrid Seward highlighted that some of these estranged friends have started speaking out about Meghan’s behaviour due to feeling hurt by it. Among those who have experienced this is Lizzie Cundy, a socialite and former pal of Meghan, who claimed that Meghan stopped all communication with her after her engagement to Prince Harry. Furthermore, Seward criticised Meghan’s behaviour at the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital Gala, accusing her of merely ‘posing’ and not being genuinely engaged in her actions.
Another former friend of Meghan, Jessica Mulroney, also fell out with the Duchess following a controversy with a Canadian blogger. Despite issuing apologies, Meghan reportedly maintained a distance from Mulroney. PR experts have weighed in on Meghan’s recent appearance at the gala, where she re-wore a modified dress without Prince Harry by her side. The revamped look has drawn comments on Meghan’s image and what it conveys about her current life in the US.
One of the significant changes in Meghan’s outfit was the alteration of a gown she wore three years ago, notably removing the train. PR expert Ashley Rossiter suggested that Meghan’s choice of attire signified a desire not to be overlooked, showcasing a more relaxed and approachable persona. The solo appearance at the event has sparked discussions about Meghan’s public image and her evolving presence after relocating to the US with Prince Harry.
As Meghan Markle continues to attract attention for her actions and choices, opinions on her conduct towards friends and public appearances remain divided. The Duchess’s approach to relationships and public engagements continues to be scrutinised, highlighting the complexities of life in the public eye.
