Duchess of Sussex Makes Public Appearance at Launch Event Following Silence on King’s 76th Birthday
Meghan Markle made her first public appearance following her absence from the well-wishers list on King Charles's 76th birthday, sparking speculation about lingering tensions within the royal family.
The Duchess of Sussex attended the launch party for Highbrow Hippie, a haircare line co-founded by her close friend Kadi Lee. Dressed in a chic black dress, Meghan appeared radiant as she supported her friend’s new venture. Notably, Meghan has also invested in the brand, showcasing her commitment to empowering female entrepreneurs.
In photos shared on Instagram, Meghan is seen smiling alongside Kadi Lee and hairstylist Serge Normant, who famously styled her hair for her 2018 royal wedding. This marked her first public outing since the reported birthday snub.
Previously, Meghan praised her friend’s work in an interview with InStyle magazine, saying, “Kadi has a mastery of hair health, and her Highbrow Hippie collection is a perfect reflection of that. I am so proud to invest in her as a friend and as a female founder.”
The event comes just days after reports that Meghan and Prince Harry did not publicly acknowledge King Charles’s birthday, despite his ongoing battle with cancer. This silence has further fueled speculation about the strained relationship between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family.
