Meghan Markle, known for her successful business ventures, supportive husband, adorable children, and luxurious California home, has been at the center of family dynamics discussions recently. Her stepmother, Roslyn Markle, shed light on Meghan’s estrangement from certain family members, attributing it mainly to geographical distance. The controversy was sparked by Prince Harry’s comment in a BBC Radio 4 interview in 2017, where he referred to the royals as “the family she never had” following Meghan’s Christmas celebrations with the Royal Family at Sandringham.
Roslyn Markle, who was married to Meghan’s father in the 1960s, clarified in a 2017 interview with Radar Online that the distance caused by Meghan’s pursuits, such as attending Northwestern University in Illinois, working in Argentina, and launching her acting career with “Suits,” played a significant role in the family’s dynamics.
While Roslyn defended Meghan, stating that Meghan did not intentionally shut out her family but simply had limited communication with her estranged sister, Samantha Grant, Samantha disputed Roslyn’s assertions on Twitter, claiming that Roslyn had no real connection to Meghan and was misinformed about their lives.
In a recent development, Meghan’s potential for establishing a successful lifestyle brand, As Ever, was highlighted when she was seen socializing with PR mogul Emma Grede at a dinner event. Grede, known for her work with Kim Kardashian’s Skims brand and Khloe Kardashian’s Good American line, emphasized empowering women and collaboration at the gathering, which showcased Meghan’s own wine, the 2024 As Ever Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
This event, captured and shared on social media by Grede, showcased a unique and empowering evening where Meghan’s entrepreneurial spirit and aspirations were on full display.
