Netflix’s Fascinating Doco on Nutmeg: Meghan Markle’s Controversial Connections
Meghan Markle's past seems to be catching up with her as new revelations surface about her associations with the rich and powerful.
The latest link to come to light is her connection to the exclusive franchise of clubs known as Soho House.
While Meghan never achieved superstardom as an actress on Suits, she did have mutual connections to disgraced media mogul Harvey Weinstein through the New York Soho House.
In 2019, amidst a string of controversies, Meghan hired a Hollywood crisis management firm to improve her public image.
This firm, Sunshine Saxx, has previously represented high-profile celebrities such as Ben Affleck, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Natalie Portman.
However, it is their association with Harvey Weinstein that raises eyebrows.
Weinstein, a notorious figure in the film industry, faced numerous accusations of rape, s**ual assault, and s**ual abuse from over 80 women.
The decision to hire a Hollywood firm for PR while being a member of the royal family was considered unorthodox by senior palace courtiers.
It seemed that Meghan and Harry were disregarding advice from their own professional team and instead turning to outsiders in Hollywood.
Despite this unconventional approach, Meghan trusted Kelly, a representative from Sunshine Saxx, who had known her for years.
While Meghan's direct ties to Weinstein remain unclear, her presence at the New York Soho House suggests some level of association.
However, it is important to note that she was most likely a guest rather than an official member.
A Tumblr site called Just My Thoughts pointed out that Meghan had been to the Soho House without her close friends, Marcus Anderson and Ormishan Anyu.
This further supports the idea that she was not an official member but rather a temporary visitor.
Returning to the connection with Weinstein, Meghan had indirect ties through Georgina Chapman, Weinstein's former wife, and Karen Craig, the co-founder of the Marchesa fashion label.
It is uncertain whether Meghan ever wore the brand, as she was not as wealthy at the time.
However, it wouldn't be surprising if she had attempted to obtain freebies from Georgina and Karen, similar to her previous interactions with Victoria Beckham.
Furthermore, speculation suggests that Meghan may have become acquainted with the founders of Marchesa during her visits to the NYC Soho House.
However, these claims remain unconfirmed.
It is important to note that the palace should have conducted a thorough investigation into Meghan's background before allowing her to join the royal family.
This would have revealed her previous marriages, her past as a yacht girl, her clientele list, and other potentially controversial aspects of her life.
As more details emerge about Meghan's connections and associations, it becomes increasingly clear that she was a loaded gun from the beginning.
The palace should have exercised due diligence in vetting her and disclosing all relevant information.
One can't help but wonder if the inclusion of her name on Georgina Chapman's list, which also included Andrew, could have been an indicator of the potential storm that was to come.
