While some observers saw this as a sign of Meghan's successful Hollywood comeback, others couldn't help but notice the location details. Meghan was positioned in the corporate box rather than the VIP area, which sparked discussions about her status.
This discrepancy may have prompted Meghan to attend the concert again, potentially for damage control. Consequently, she missed her original plans to attend a soccer event. On the night of the Beyoncé concert, Meghan joined the audience at Sofi Stadium for the third date of Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour. She had also attended the tour's opening night the previous Friday, alongside Prince Harry.
However, what garnered considerable attention was a viral video shared on TikTok, showcasing Meghan in the exclusive Armand de Brignac's champagne VIP bar. In the video, she could be seen pushing through a crowd, waiting in line, and patiently waiting her turn for a brief five-second photo opportunity. Meghan asked photographer Kevin Mazur to capture photos of her with Kerry Washington and Kelly Rowland, but it appeared that the duo only agreed to two photos.
This encounter portrayed Meghan as just another concertgoer, eager to interact with friendly strangers and snap photos with them. What Kerry and Kelly likely didn't anticipate was that Meghan would later sell their photo to the media, implying a closer connection than existed. However, the video suggests that they weren't together during the post-photo shoot party.
Meghan's actions were perceived by some as name-dropping, using these interactions to bolster her image. Yet, sources close to Kelly Rowland have denied any outing with Meghan, pointing out that Kelly was initially a VIP guest. Similarly, Kerry Washington indicated her lack of friendship with Meghan by posting Instagram photos that notably excluded Harry's wife.
In fact, a closer look at the available images from the event showed Meghan mainly on the periphery, appearing in only a handful of featured photos, often with blurriness. Despite her presence at both concerts, Meghan couldn't secure a photo with Beyoncé herself, which raised questions about the depth of their supposed friendship.
This 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 didn't generate similar attention.
All these factors contribute to a growing perception that Meghan may be making efforts to divert attention away from the British royal family, especially as the anniversary of the late Queen's passing approaches.
