This chance encounter occurred just hours after it was announced that Meghan and Prince Harry would be making their way to New York for another royal-style engagement. Meghan appeared in a striped shirt with sunglasses hanging from her lapel and seemed to be in high spirits as she stood alongside the three women on that evening. One of them described her as "low-key and super friendly," according to the Daily Mail.
The selfie was taken with broadcaster Jen Sue, a well-known figure in South Africa's TV and radio scene. She gained fame after winning "Taiwan Idols," a Taiwanese version of "Pop Idol," and has since released four albums. Jen Sue has become a regular presence at celebrity events, often reporting and appearing on the red carpet. She shared the picture on her Instagram account with the caption "Landed in Los Angeles and on our way to dinner, we run into Meghan Marle—totally lowkey and super friendly, nice conversation."
Jen was enjoying her evening with friends Melissa Leonard and Madison Leonard, with Madison being a Philadelphia influencer and socialite. Madison also posted the image on her social media, playfully questioning, "Which one is the real Duchess?" This meeting took place shortly after it was announced that Meghan and Prince Harry would be returning to New York City in mid-October for the Archewell's Mental Health Summit, their foundation's first-ever in-person event.
However, some fans speculated that Meghan might have orchestrated this girls' night out in the car park. On Instagram, one user pointed out the convenience of Jen Sue landing in Los Angeles and bumping into Meghan for dinner. Los Angeles is a vast city with millions of residents and thousands of restaurants, making such a chance encounter seem unlikely. Another comment expressed disbelief, suggesting that it was too coincidental for her to be present when Meghan was around. The discussion revolved around whether she was hired to meet Meghan and agree to this staged encounter.
Some fans also noted that the same individual had previously posed for a photo with Meghan at Windsor Castle. They argued that she appeared to be a recurring presence during Meghan and Harry's public appearances, suggesting that she might have a history of being paid to interact with the couple.
