Actress Meghan Markle attended her second Beyoncé concert in just four days, joining the final leg of the singer’s Renaissance World Tour at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Monday.
Meghan enjoyed the show in the company of Beyoncé’s Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland and fellow actress Kerry Washington.
The trio even posed for a photo, adhering to Beyoncé’s birthday wish for her fans to wear fabulous silver fashion during the shows from August 23rd to September 22nd, in celebration of her 42nd birthday on September 4th.
Kelly Rowland donned a black corset-style top and complemented her outfit with a silver chain choker necklace and face jewels.
Meghan, on the other hand, wore a metallic silver skirt paired with a high-necked black top.
Kerry Washington chose a silver and black shimmering top and carried a shining silver purse.
While Kerry posted photos on her Instagram with celebrity friends like Alicia Keys and Tyler Perry, there was no photo featuring Meghan.
It seems that Meghan, who is not an A-lister or a sister, was cropped out of the picture Kerry took with Kelly Rowland.
This action raises questions about whether it was a subtle message implying that they do not associate with someone of lesser status.
Although Kerry did repost three or four stories that included Meghan in the picture, she did not post it on her grid.
It is worth noting that posts on the grid are permanent and appear in users’ feeds.
This deliberate omission has sparked curiosity, with some speculating if Kerry’s agent advised her to do so.
It is peculiar that she would repost the picture from multiple accounts but intentionally exclude Meghan from this particular one.
In response to the public backlash, Kerry will likely be pressured by her PR team to upload a group photo.
This is a common occurrence when Meghan faces humiliation and calls for damage control.
Bethany Frankel has also revealed that she received calls years ago to not disrespect Meghan and instead offer support.
Kerry seems to be rewriting her own history, possibly out of frustration at falling into Meghan’s trap.
It would be interesting to see how Meghan treats a celebrity who does not put “Duchess” next to her name in a puff piece.
Forcing someone’s hand is not the way to build friendships, and it is no secret that Meghan has faced challenges in this area.
This entire photo incident highlights the importance the British royal family placed on keeping Meghan away from the Queen and the Wales children during the jubilee and funeral.
By inserting herself into one photo, Meghan managed to create a narrative of being best friends with these stars, which quickly spread across the internet.
While the exact date of Meghan’s first meeting with either of these two stars remains unknown, photos dating back to 2013 show her posing with Kerry Washington at a party in New York City.
The event, believed to celebrate Kerry’s appearance on the cover of Elle magazine, took place at Il Buco Alimentari in Venaria.
It appears that Meghan can request photos like any fan would, and her acquaintance with Kerry has endured over the years.
Kerry even pledged to participate in Meghan’s 2021 initiative, launched to celebrate her 40th birthday.
The scheme aimed to encourage people worldwide to dedicate 40 minutes of their time to support women returning to work.
While details about the progress of the project are scarce, Kerry Washington was among the high-profile women who signed up to participate.
