Fake friendship accusations flew when Delina was spotted distancing herself from Meghan Markle after what appeared to be staged hugs for a Netflix shoot.
Meghan, known for her polished public persona, put on an extravagant display as she embraced her supposed close pal, Delphina Blacker, while cameras rolled for their latest Netflix project. The scene unfolded in Palm Beach, Florida, where Meghan and Prince Harry united with their friend Nacho Figueres and his wife, Delina Blacker, for the filming.
Amidst participating in a fundraising polo match for Harry's charity, Centre Bell, Meghan warmly embraced Delina and engaged in cheerful conversation with Nacho and their 8-year-old daughter, Alba.
Observers noted Meghan's seemingly exaggerated behavior, suggesting she was playing up for the cameras. Body language expert Judy James confirmed this sentiment, highlighting Meghan's intense affectionate gestures, especially towards Delina. Judy described Meghan's behavior as akin to that of a spoiled child seeking attention, which she found appalling.
Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, Judy remarked on the timing of Meghan's exaggerated display of friendship, coinciding with her alleged promotion of friendship in her Netflix series. She speculated that Meghan's actions might be staged for the show, considering the strategic filming for Harry's Polo Netflix series. Judy suggested that Meghan's overt displays of warmth could be part of a carefully curated personal brand or a bid to improve her public image.
While Meghan's affectionate gestures were captured on camera, Delina appeared more reserved, hiding her face under a hat. Speculation arose regarding Delina's true feelings towards Meghan, with some suggesting that her smile may have been for business purposes rather than genuine friendship. Observers noted Nacho's less-than-enthusiastic demeanor, hinting at possible tensions within the group.
There were murmurs about Delina's reluctance to be associated with Meghan and Harry long-term, fearing potential exploitation or manipulation. Concerns arose that Meghan's meddling might strain relationships, mirroring past celebrity controversies. Some even speculated that Harry's loyalty to Meghan could strain his friendships, potentially leading to ruptures akin to past celebrity dramas.
