Meghan Markle’s Ties to Soho House and Hollywood Controversies
Meghan Markle, known for her association with the exclusive franchise of clubs, Soho House, has been making headlines again.
While she may not have achieved superstardom as an actress on Suits, she does share some connections with disgraced media mogul Harvey Weinstein through the New York Soho House.
In fact, in 2019, Markle sought the assistance of a Hollywood crisis management firm that had previously represented both Weinstein and Michael Jackson.
The firm, Sunshine Saks, is renowned for its work with celebrities like Ben Affleck, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Natalie Portman, as well as the Michael Jackson Estate and Justin Timberlake.
This move by Markle to hire a Hollywood firm for PR purposes raised eyebrows among royal insiders.
It was seen as unorthodox for a member of the royal family to seek outside advice instead of relying on their own highly professional team.
However, Markle's trust in Kelly, a representative from the crisis management firm, seemed unwavering.
The fact that Kelly was even invited to a wedding as a guest suggests a long-standing relationship between them.
While there is no direct evidence of Markle's personal connection to Weinstein, her previous visits to the New York Soho House have raised questions.
It is known that Markle is fond of the franchise, but it is unclear whether she holds official membership or has merely been a guest.
Speculation arose when a Tumblr site called JustMyThoughts pointed out that Markle had visited the Soho House without her close friends Marcus Anderson and Misha Nonoo, implying that her visits were not as an official member.
The connection to Weinstein becomes more intriguing when considering Markle's ties to Georgina Chapman, Weinstein's former wife, and Karen Craig, the founder of the Marchesa fashion label.
While it is unknown if Markle ever wore the brand, it is speculated that she may have met the Marchesa founders during her time as a guest at the New York Soho House.
However, it is doubtful that Markle wore the brand during that period, as she was not as financially affluent as she is now.
As Tom Bower's book Revenge delves into Markle's personal life, it becomes evident that one of her famous friends, Misha Nonoo, has also been using their association to boost her profile as a fashion designer.
Nonoo, who is friends with Princess Eugenie, had a previous connection to William and Harry through her first husband, who was a classmate and friend of the royal brothers.
The revelations surrounding Markle's ties to Soho House and the Hollywood controversies have sparked interest and speculation.
While her choice to seek outside PR assistance may be seen as unconventional for a member of the royal family, Markle's trust in Kelly and her connections to Weinstein-related figures have raised eyebrows.
As the story unfolds, it remains to be seen how these associations will impact Markle's public image and her future endeavors.
