While some saw this as a sign of Meghan's successful return to Hollywood, others noted the specific seating arrangement. Meghan was situated in the corporate box rather than the VIP section, leading to a debate about her social status. This discrepancy may have prompted Meghan to attend the concert again, potentially for damage control.
As a result, she missed her original plans to attend a soccer event on the night of Beyoncé's concert. Meghan joined the audience at the SoFi Stadium for the third date of Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour, having also attended the tour's opening night the previous Friday alongside Prince Harry. However, what drew considerable attention was a viral TikTok video that featured Meghan in the exclusive Armand de Brignac's champagne VIP bar.
In the video, Meghan could be seen patiently waiting her turn in line and requesting a brief five-second photo opportunity with photographer Kevin Mazur, who captured photos of her with Kerry Washington and Kelly Rowland. However, it appeared that the two celebrities agreed to only two photos. This encounter portrayed Meghan as an enthusiastic concertgoer eager to interact with friendly strangers and snap photos with them.
Some perceived Meghan's actions as name-dropping, using these interactions to enhance her image. Yet, sources close to Kelly Rowland denied any outing with Meghan and emphasized that Kelly was initially a VIP guest. Similarly, Kerry Washington's Instagram photos seemed to exclude Meghan, indicating a lack of friendship. A closer examination of available event images showed Meghan mainly on the periphery, appearing in only a few featured photos, often with blurriness.
Despite attending both concerts, Meghan couldn't secure a photo with Beyoncé herself, which raised questions about the depth of their supposed friendship. The particular picture featuring Meghan alongside Kerry and Kelly became widely shared, sparking speculations about its authenticity and the possibility of it being a paid setup. Notably, other celebrities at the concert did not generate similar attention.
Meanwhile, a new report suggests that Meghan might be leveraging her mother, Doria Ragland, to boost her own popularity. According to Royal expert Kyra Kennedy, Doria's newfound Hollywood fame appears to be a calculated move on Meghan's part. Kennedy believes that Meghan is deploying her mother on a charm offensive to regain some of the popularity she may have lost.
Kennedy also suggests that Meghan may be aligning herself more with Doria than with her own husband, Prince Harry, as she seeks to reshape her public image and brand. With Meghan and Harry's marriage, Doria had maintained a low profile, but Kennedy predicts we will see more of her now as she becomes a key figure in Meghan's new path away from Prince Harry.
