Meghan Markle’s Staged Birthday Lunch Photo Raises Eyebrows
In an attempt to prove that she has friends, Meghan Markle, following the recent rumors of her outing with Rose, has released a new PR stunt involving a staged photo.
The Duchess of Sussex, who turned 46 on August 4th, posed for a selfie with Cadi Lee, a renowned hairdresser, and author Cleo Wade in the garden of a restaurant.
The photo, posted on Cadi Lee's Instagram account, Highbrow Hippie, shows Meghan beaming while putting her arms around her two friends at the table.
However, many eagle-eyed viewers quickly noticed that this was not a recent photo.
When compared to Meghan's recent appearances, it became evident that her face looked completely different.
It was not the same face that had been seen just a few days ago.
Furthermore, her hand in the photo appeared slightly plumper and more youthful, in contrast to the skeletal and old-looking hand captured in a paparazzi shot from a few days prior.
It seemed unlikely that Meghan could have gained enough weight in such a short time to fill out her hand.
Additionally, Meghan was seen wearing a lot of jewelry in the photo, whereas she had recently been photographed without any accessories.
It was clear that some clever photoshopping had been done to enhance her appearance.
What struck many as particularly peculiar was that Meghan's best social media post about her birthday featured someone she pays and someone unknown to the public.
It seemed odd that she couldn't come up with a more genuine celebration with friends.
The belated birthday wishes seemed insincere, especially considering that the photos were not taken in the past few weeks.
Meghan appeared much healthier in the picture, possibly before filming the introduction video for a photography friend's Ted Talk.
It seemed unlikely that her hair had been touched up before that event.
Cadi Lee, believed to be Meghan's hair colorist since her return to California, has an impressive list of A-list clients.
The photo in question was captioned “Belated birthday celebrations with these lovely muses” and appeared on Cadi Lee's Instagram stories.
It was clear that the people in the photo were not Meghan's genuine friends but rather members of her staff, used as props for the staged image.
Cadi, along with makeup artist Daniel Martin, famously styled Meghan's hair for her royal wedding to Prince Harry in May 2018.
They were also part of Meghan's team when she received the Woman of Vision award at the Miss Foundation Gala in New York in May.
It seems that most of Meghan's so-called friends are actually paid acquaintances.
This revelation raises questions about the authenticity of her relationships.
The fact that Cadi Lee resorted to using an old photo from a dinner or lunch date to acknowledge Meghan's recent birthday further undermines the credibility of their friendship.
It is clear that the photo is not current, and it appears that Cadi simply forgot to post on Meghan's actual birthday.
This whole situation is seen by many as patronizing and a mere PR stunt.
Meghan's actions have caused some to view her as a desperate has-been who is now using a hairstylist to gain access to A-listers.
The consequences of this could potentially harm Cadi's career, as she may be seen as someone who divulges confidential information to Meghan, which could ultimately become public knowledge.
In summary, the new photo of Meghan and her friend is nothing more than a PR move.
It comes on the heels of previous news about her hanging out with Portia de Rossi and a date night at Trelloon, both of which turned out to be false.
