The Duchess of Sussex had a friendly encounter with a 42-year-old journalist named Jens Su and two other friends on Thursday night, and they snapped a selfie together, which Jensu later shared on her Instagram account, expressing her excitement about meeting Meghan. Interestingly, this photo was posted on the same day that People exclusively reported Meghan and Prince Harry's plans to attend a World Mental Health Day event in New York City.
In the photo featuring Meghan, there are two other women. Notably, the youngest girl, who appears to be in her 20s, was at the forefront, holding the camera. Fans quickly noticed that this wasn't her first encounter with the Duchess. She had previously appeared as a teenager in a popular video where she asked for a hug from Meghan during an interactive event following the passing of the Queen.
Observers noted the striking similarity in their facial features, including their noses and dental structure, leading to suspicions that these encounters may have been orchestrated.
The alleged Instagram fan has gained recognition for consistently spotting Meghan in crowds wherever she goes. Someone on Tumblr even compared her teenage fan photos to a LinkedIn photo, revealing her as the same person but under a different identity. Last year, she was a teenager who shared an emotional hug with Meghan outside Windsor Castle, attracting significant attention and sympathy.
It's speculated that they were possibly paid £1,000 for signing non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and sending photos of themselves to showcase their outfits. They would then take more pictures at the walkabout spot to help Meghan easily identify them.
In summary, this recent selfie seems to be part of Meghan's effort to connect with younger fans and people in Commonwealth countries. However, the influencer involved in this alleged setup is relatively unknown, and in the case of Jens Su, her following is limited within the Commonwealth. Some have questioned Meghan's intentions, suggesting that she may be trying to improve her public image and dispel the notion that she seeks attention at the expense of others.
Meanwhile, experts have criticized Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for their behavior in front of King Charles. This criticism has been highlighted by Kinsey Scoffield, the host of the TIY for Daily podcast, during an interview with Sky News Australia. Miss Scoffield pointed out that despite Harry and Meghan later claiming it was unconscious bias, they had initially accused an unnamed member of the royal family of being racist.
This put Prince Charles and the monarchy in a difficult position, as many believed Harry and Meghan's accusations. Miss Scoffield also noted that some people might perceive the monarchy's actions as validating those accusations, making Harry and Meghan appear rather foolish in the process.
