There’s something deeply unsettling about Meghan’s latest friendship with Jamie Kern Lima, co-founder of It Cosmetics. For those of you who may not know, Jamie is a self-made billionaire who built her company from the ground up and sold it to L’Oreal for a whopping $1.2 billion. She’s exactly the kind of successful, wealthy person that Meghan tends to gravitate toward. Funny how that works, right?
When I first saw photos of them together, it hit me like a ton of bricks. We've seen this playbook before, haven’t we? Just like a predator picking its next meal, Meghan has identified another successful, wealthy person to latch onto. The pattern is so obvious, it’s almost painful to watch. Look at her history—Jessica Morone, Victoria Beckham, Oprah Winfrey—the list goes on and on of wealthy, influential people Meghan has befriended, only for things to go south once she's extracted what she needs.
What’s truly heartbreaking about this situation is that Jamie Kern Lima seems like a genuinely nice person. She built her brand on authenticity and helping others, known for being real, relatable, and honest—everything Meghan pretends to be but isn’t. When you look at their photos together, Jamie has this warm, genuine smile, while Meghan... well, those of us who’ve been following her for years can recognize that smile. It's the same calculated, performative expression she wore around the royal family before everything imploded.
Now, let’s talk about timing. Isn’t it interesting how this friendship has suddenly become public just as Meghan is launching her new Netflix show? It’s like clockwork. And now Jamie is speaking out in support of Meghan's latest venture. Here’s what gets me: Jamie built her empire on authenticity and real connections, while Meghan, well, isn’t exactly known for that. Remember how Meghan treated her own family—her father, who supported her through private school and her acting career? Or the royal family who welcomed her with open arms? And let’s not forget her former best friend, Jessica Morone, who was dropped once Meghan no longer had a use for her. The pattern is crystal clear.
Watching this new friendship unfold is concerning. We’ve got Jamie Kern Lima, a woman who genuinely worked her way up from nothing, being pulled into Meghan’s orbit. If history has taught us anything, we know how this story ends. It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion—you want to shout a warning, but you know it’s already too late.
What’s fascinating is how Meghan always manages to align herself with successful women with genuine rags-to-riches stories. Think about it: Jamie built her company from her living room, facing rejection after rejection, until she finally made it. She’s the real deal. Meghan, on the other hand... we all know how she made her way up the ladder, don’t we? The contrast between Meghan’s relationships and those of the real working royals couldn’t be starker. Look at Princess Catherine—her friendships date back to her school days. She maintains long-term, genuine relationships with people who knew her before she was a royal. Same with Prince William—his close circle includes university friends who have stuck by him through thick and thin. These are real relationships, not strategic alliances.
You have to wonder—has Jamie done her homework on Meghan’s behavior? Has she looked into how Meghan treated her former friends, her family, the royal family? If she had, maybe she’d think twice about this very public association. But then again, maybe Jamie is just too nice and trusting to see what’s really happening here.
Let’s not forget how Meghan operated within the royal family. She came in claiming she wanted to modernize the monarchy, to be a force for change. What she really wanted was the platform, the prestige, and the ability to monetize her royal connection. When she realized she wouldn’t be the star of the show, she orchestrated one of the most damaging attacks on the monarchy in recent history. And now here she is, latching onto another successful woman just as she’s launching her latest venture. The timing is impeccable, isn’t it?
Jamie’s support of Meghan’s Netflix show is part of the same pattern we’ve seen time and time again. Jamie built her company because she genuinely wanted to create products that helped women feel confident and beautiful. She shared her real struggles with acne and rosacea, making herself vulnerable to connect with others. Meghan, on the other hand, has built her brand on carefully constructed narratives that often fall apart under scrutiny.
What’s particularly interesting are Jamie’s comments about Meghan’s new show. She’s calling it authentic and real—words that anyone who’s followed Meghan’s journey would find hard to swallow. This is the same Meghan who staged paparazzi photos, who claimed she knew nothing about the royal family before meeting Harry (despite being photographed outside Buckingham Palace as a tourist), and who said she never Googled Harry, even though her friend admitted they Googled him together.
Looking at their photos together, you can’t help but notice the dynamics at play. Jamie has this open, genuine expression, the look of someone who truly believes in supporting other women. Meghan, on the other hand, has that calculated smile we’ve seen so many times before—the same one she wore around the royal family before everything imploded. It's like watching history repeat itself.
And let’s talk about the timing of this friendship becoming public, just as Meghan is trying to rebrand herself yet again, launching her Netflix venture. Suddenly, she has a billionaire businesswoman singing her praises. It’s so transparent, it would be laughable if it weren’t so concerning.
What’s particularly worrying is how this might affect Jamie’s brand. She’s built her empire on authenticity and trust, and being associated with someone who has Meghan’s track record of burning bridges and manipulating relationships could damage that. But maybe Jamie doesn’t even consider that—after all, when has Meghan ever shown concern for the collateral damage she leaves behind?
The contrast with how the real working royals handle their friendships is striking. Look at Catherine and William—they maintain their close circle of friends quietly and loyally, without using them for publicity or gain. Their friends rarely speak to the press, and when they do, it’s with genuine warmth and protection of privacy. Meghan’s relationships, on the other hand, seem to exist primarily in the public eye, carefully crafted for maximum exposure and benefit.
What’s really telling is how Meghan’s former friends and associates tend to go quiet once their relationships end. Jessica Morone, who once publicly supported Meghan, barely mentions her anymore. The same pattern has played out with numerous other former friends and colleagues. It’s like they sign up for one thing, only to discover something very different.
For Jamie’s sake, I hope she’s more media savvy than she appears. Being a billionaire businesswoman, she surely understands how these things work. But then again, Meghan has a knack for charming even the most successful and sophisticated people—at least initially.
What we’re watching unfold is essentially Meghan’s standard operating procedure: Identify someone successful and influential, forge a very public friendship, use their platform and credibility to boost her own projects, and then—well, time will tell how this particular story ends.
The real tragedy here is that while Meghan plays these games, the genuine hard work of the real working royals continues without fanfare. While she’s busy courting billionaires and launching Netflix shows, Catherine and William are quietly carrying out their royal duties, supporting their charities, and maintaining genuine relationships with both the public and their private friends.
So, what's the takeaway from all this? As the saying goes, history tends to repeat itself. We’ve seen this pattern play out with Meghan many times, and there’s no reason to think this time will be any different. The only question is how long it will take before the mask slips and Jamie Kern Lima joins the long list of former Meghan Markle associates.
For those of us who’ve been watching this saga unfold, it feels like we’re watching a very predictable movie where we already know the ending. The only difference is, this time, we’re watching it happen to someone who seems genuinely nice and successful in her own right.
