Is Taylor Swift's influence too strong that even members of the royal family want to be her friend?
In a recent conversation with Patrick Christys on "GBN America," royal expert Kinsey Schofield shared insights on Meghan Markle's reported desire to strike up a friendship with the 14-time Grammy winner to revamp her public persona.
The discussion revolved around unveiling the Duke and Duchess Sussex's updated website, which sparked speculation about a potential connection with the music icon.
Kinsey said on the show, "Meghan is desperate to be Taylor's friend."
She added: "Meghan invited Taylor Swift on her podcast by sitting down and writing her a handwritten letter begging her to be on 'Archetypes.'"
Another Taylor Swift Copycat?
Following a thrilling performance at the Super Bowl, Taylor Swift's magnetic presence sparked inspiration in Meghan, who was captivated by the rock'n'roll ambiance surrounding her as she enthusiastically supported her partner, Travis Kelce.
Kinsey noted that the former "Suits" actress likely observed the unfolding events, wondering how she could copy them.
The expert stated that Meghan was present at the Taylor Swift concert in Los Angeles, ensuring that a news publication was informed of her attendance.
Kinsey went on to confirm that Meghan Markle aspires to emulate Taylor Swift's marketing strategies.
The spotlight has been on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle following their website rebranding this week.
Their original platform, Archewell, has been seamlessly redirected to Sussex.com.
Nothing’s wrong with dancing & having fun at a concert. But I feel like everything this fraud Meghan Markle does has a motive.
