2023 has undoubtedly dawned as a fresh lease of life for the Duke and the Duchess of Sussex, who stayed in their bubble for almost half a year. Following the infamous Harry & Meghan Netflix bombshell, Meghan Markle especially, stayed in the shadows until her recent back-to-back appearances created a ruckus over the internet. Following the birthday bash, the California royal continued the streak with her friends and acquaintances. The most recent lunch date in Los Angeles has seemingly sparked a series of critical accusations against the Duchess. 

Following the engagement ring gone missing fiasco, the skeptic reports have now put a question mark on Markle’s social circle. The latest issue by Telegraph UK suggests how the hangout of the Duchess with her hairstylist and entrepreneur friends adds up to a clearly staged PR stunt. The columnist penned how it is in trend with celebrities to grow their ESB, which stands for their Emotional Support Bubble. 

It can thus comprise anyone ranging from your yoga instructors and reiki healers to your hairdressers and stylists. However, what all of them have in common is that they get “paid” upfront for their services. Thus, speaking on the backlash and criticism of Markle’s birthday line-up celebration, the columnist penned how it is their job to be attentive and listen to their clients. 

Nonetheless, adding a positive note to the same, the reporter mentioned how it only makes sense for the Duchess to have some stress relievers following the continuous streak of fallouts with her celebrity pals. 

Meghan Markle recently faced a crackdown on her friendships

First ignited with the David Beckham fallout, Markle, along with her husband, had been losing friends left and right. The Beckhams were once considered some top-listers of the Sussex club. However, the parties recently blasted their friendship over a furious phone call. Following the trail were the Hollywood bigwigs George Clooney and his wife. 

Back in the day, the Clooneys time and again spoke in favor of the Duchess and her family. Having accompanied some of her most auspicious moments of life, the separation came as a shocker. The Ocean’s Eleven star has reportedly favored the ties with Buckingham, the now estranged family base of the Sussexes. 

Nonetheless, there is no scarcity of Hollywood bigwigs since John Travolta, a name long associated with royalty ever since the days of Princess Diana, rekindled his friendship with the Diana lovers. What is your take on the matter?
