Meghan Markle is set to share the stage with Katy Kurick at the South by Southwest Festival, marking a significant reunion three years after Kurick's notable comment about Prince Harry's personal hygiene.
Megan is gearing up for a prominent role in the festival's opening day keynote event, themed "Breaking Barriers: Shaping Narratives - How Women Lead On and Off the Screen." This annual festival, held in mid-March in Austin, Texas, attracts influential figures from the entertainment industry.
Joining Markle and Kurick on the panel are actress Brooke Shields and diversity, equity, and inclusion consultant Nancy Wang Yuan. The high-profile lineup was orchestrated through Megan's Hollywood agency, William Morris and Deor. However, securing bookings for Megan posed challenges due to the public surrounding the Sussexes.
While the South by Southwest appearance represents a positive step in Megan's rebranding efforts, recent revelations have shed light on a nuanced connection between Megan and Kurick.
On Monday, The Mirror disclosed that Kurick had previously alluded to Prince Harry's hygiene and drinking habits in a manuscript from her 2021 memoir, "Going There." Describing Harry as emitting a scent of cigarettes and alcohol when they first met at a polo match in Brazil in 2012, several years before his marriage to Markle in 2018, Kurick humorously commented on his hygiene, noting that alcohol seemed to emanate from every pore of his body.
How will Megan navigate this revelation? Kurick's forthcoming meeting with Megan might bring forth discussions about shared scents, considering reports of Megan's aroma during the Invictus event, where some attendees claimed she smelled of alcohol and cigarettes, with allegations of heavy smoking.
Additionally, there were mentions of body odor and the lingering scents of stale perfume or deodorant allegedly noticed during other occasions, such as at The Winds of Walkabout while observing tributes left for the late Queen Elizabeth. Megan was reportedly hungover, causing Prince William and Catherine to wait for her to compose herself, possibly leading to the infamous withering look directed at her by Catherine.
This situation provides context for Lady C's pointed comment about Megan's personal odor, referencing body odor and the lingering scent of cigarettes. Lady C's observation suggests a lack of personal hygiene maintenance, noting Megan's unwashed hair, seemingly unclean face, and dirty fingernails, implying a disregard for regular handwashing. With the combination of scents like cigarette smoke, alcohol, and possibly other substances, Megan's presence might be detectable from a distance. Furthermore, with her apparent dental work, it's doubtful that she maintains regular dental hygiene.
However, Kurick's presence isn't solely due to her marriage; she has earned her place based on her expertise. Should Megan engage in any conflict, Kurick is likely to deftly maneuver and outshine her.
