### Meghan Markle’s Latest Social Faux Pas: A Like That Cut Deep
Friendships among the glitterati can be as unpredictable as a soap opera plot twist.
Meghan Markle has recently stumbled into yet another cringe-worthy social episode, and this time it involves Delfina Blacquiet, the wife of Prince Harry's polo buddy, Nacho Figueras.
What's the drama this time?
It all revolves around a seemingly innocuous Instagram like that has sent shockwaves through the celebrity gossip mill.
Fresh from the disappointing demise of her American Riviera Orchard brand, Meghan attempted to reinvent herself with a rebranded venture called “As Ever.”
It was a fresh start, complete with a new name, but the same old problem—no actual products to showcase.
To make matters worse, it turns out “As Ever” was already a well-established business since 2015, owned by independent designer Mark Kolsky.
He wasn't exactly thrilled about Meghan swooping in with her Netflix deal and co-opting his brand name as if she had created it herself.
This revelation sparked public outrage, legal threats, and a flurry of online chatter.
Enter Delfina, who casually liked a post from As Ever NYC, sending the internet into a frenzy of speculation.
Was this just a harmless double-tap or a calculated jab at Meghan?
The timing felt too perfect to be accidental, leading many to wonder if Delfina was subtly taking a stand against the Duchess.
Delfina's relationship with Meghan hasn't exactly been warm and fuzzy.
In the past, she referred to Meghan as “Pwife,” a term that felt more like a polite way of saying, “I'd rather not be involved in your royal drama.”
Their interactions have often been laced with an awkward formality, suggesting that one party is desperately seeking the other for social clout.
Naturally, the internet exploded with theories.
Was Delfina harboring secret disdain for Meghan all along?
Had she been biding her time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike?
Even more tantalizing was the possibility of an alliance forming between Delfina and Gwyneth Paltrow, who had previously followed As Ever NYC, adding fuel to the fire of speculation.
If these two women are indeed uniting against Meghan, it feels like a clear message from Hollywood's elite: Meghan has been voted off the island.
So what's a Duchess to do when her social circle starts leaning towards the competition?
She could go for the classic PR strategy—posting a vague message on Instagram about women supporting women, which would likely invite ridicule.
Alternatively, she might adopt the “I'm too busy for this” approach, leaking a story to People magazine that emphasizes her focus on work while dismissing the drama.
Or, perhaps, she could take the nuclear route—a high-profile Netflix documentary exploring themes of friendship betrayal, complete with interviews featuring herself and carefully curated footage of Delfina looking disinterested at polo matches.
However, deep down, it seems Meghan's real concern isn't just the perceived betrayal; it's that her entire brand launch is now overshadowed by a mere Instagram like.
While As Ever NYC flourishes and gains followers, Meghan's rebranded venture is already mired in controversy.
Meanwhile, Delfina is likely enjoying a matcha latte, reveling in the chaos her innocent double-tap has sparked.
Perhaps next time, Meghan will consider a more original business approach—one that doesn't tread on the toes of established brands.
In the world of celebrity, where friendships can shift like sand, it's clear that even the smallest actions can have monumental consequences.
