There are rumors that Meghan Markle is reportedly fuming over her husband, Prince Harry, traveling frequently with none other than Beth, a former actress turned charity coordinator.
Beth seems to be accompanying Harry on his travels more often than a sidekick in a superhero movie. Their jet-setting friendship has caught the attention of the public, with many raising eyebrows. The duo has been spotted together in places like Los Angeles, the UK, Singapore, and Germany. Imagine if Prince William were to travel across three continents with any woman other than Catherine—the internet would likely explode. Yet, when it comes to Harry, the collective response seems to be more of a nonchalant shrug than a scandalous outcry.
So, who exactly is Beth? Her background is rather interesting. In 2016, she was hired by Kensington Palace as an events manager for the Royal Foundation, back when the “Fab Four” – Harry, Meghan, William, and Catherine – were still united in their royal efforts. However, in 2018, when Harry and Meghan split from the foundation, Beth also made the transition to follow the Sussexes. Since then, she has remained loyal to them, continuing to work alongside them even after they relocated to the United States.
Beth’s career trajectory is noteworthy, too. In her early days as an actress, she went by the name Bethan Cley and even portrayed a stripper in a Channel 4 soap opera spin-off. She participated in racy photoshoots, donning PVC bodysuits and embracing a sultry image. Fast forward to the present, and Beth now dedicates herself to charitable causes and has seemingly become close to royalty. Her professional loyalty to the Sussexes has been unwavering, and when Harry and Meghan moved to the U.S., Beth and Clara Loughran, another former palace staffer, quickly joined their team as freelancers working on various charity projects. Together, the pair founded a partnership that connects influential people and organizations with charitable causes, and the Sussexes are among their clients.
Beth has often been spotted by Harry’s side at various events. Most recently, she was seen with him at the Invictus Games in Germany, engaging in friendly conversations and cheering on the competitors. She was even present earlier this year when Harry took a thrilling bobsled ride in Whistler, Canada. Naturally, Meghan is rumored to be less than pleased with this arrangement. Known for her meticulous curation of her public image, Meghan prefers to project perfection, and Beth's presence—beautiful, independent, and with a past that has been scrutinized by tabloids—may not fit into that ideal.
It’s easy to imagine that if Meghan had her way, Harry's inner circle would be devoid of any woman who doesn’t fit her exacting standards. However, it seems that Beth’s close relationship with Harry has managed to fly under the radar, despite the gossip mills swirling. If Prince William had dared to embark on similar adventures with another woman, the public outcry would be deafening. But when it comes to Harry, he appears to skate by without much media scandal. Some even speculate that Meghan's formidable PR machine might be working overtime to keep any potential headlines about Harry’s female companions from turning into front-page stories.
Rumors about Harry’s supposed dalliances with other women have surfaced in the past, but none of them have gained much traction. The real scandal, some suggest, would be if Beth decided to end her professional relationship with Harry, much like his former girlfriends Chelsy Davy or Cressida Bonas. After all, a respectable woman wouldn’t engage in an affair with a married man, right? If she did, it would reflect poorly not just on her but on Harry as well. Given Meghan’s reputation for tightly controlling her narrative, it’s hard to believe that she would let someone like Beth become a part of Harry’s world without thorough scrutiny.
The American media, while typically eager for scandal, has yet to pounce on Beth’s presence at Harry’s side. Meghan's PR team seems to be a well-oiled machine, ensuring that any unfavorable press is swiftly silenced or spun in their favor. Despite the efforts to keep things quiet, Beth’s involvement in Harry’s life continues to stir the pot. Meghan may have believed she had carefully vetted everyone around her husband, but it seems she may have overlooked one critical factor.
