According to Neil Sean, Meghan Markle is reportedly fuming at her mother, Doria Ragland, following a failed attempt to break into the Kardashian business empire.
While the public facade remains polished with carefully curated smiles for the cameras, behind closed doors, tensions are said to be mounting. The duo had reportedly teamed up to network with Kris Jenner, the matriarch and mastermind behind the Kardashian empire, in hopes of gaining valuable advice to catapult Meghan’s American Riviera Orchard business to new heights.
The plan seemed promising—a potential meeting of entrepreneurial minds. Doria was tasked with charming Kris Jenner to provide Meghan with golden insights that could transform her into the next big skincare mogul. However, even with their best efforts, the venture reportedly fell flat. Why? Because Meghan’s grandiose business aspirations collided with the harsh realities of brand compatibility, something the Kardashians have mastered navigating.
As the story goes, Doria secured an invitation for Meghan to attend Kim Kardashian's launch party for a new underwear line—an exclusive and high-profile event. But Meghan’s reaction was far from enthusiastic. Despite attending the gathering, she reportedly viewed the event with disdain. The reason? Meghan, who has often been portrayed as a marketing visionary, allegedly felt that Kim Kardashian’s image wasn’t the ideal fit for her brand.
What made things even more dramatic was Meghan’s unexpected entrance. Instead of embracing the event as an opportunity to make valuable connections, she reportedly showed up at the party with the demeanor of someone attending a baby shower. Dressed in an eye-catching shade of pink, Meghan’s appearance was described as overly theatrical, bordering on passive-aggressive—a far cry from blending in or fostering collaboration.
Adding fuel to the fire, sources suggest Meghan’s team was deeply dissatisfied with the association. The issue wasn’t just about the underwear line itself but the broader implications of aligning Meghan’s brand with the Kardashian name. For Meghan, whose vision revolves around projecting clean, wholesome luxury, the Kardashian brand—with its reality TV roots—seemed misaligned. It’s said that the optics of being linked to the Kardashian family left her team uneasy, as it clashed with Meghan’s pursuit of high-society prestige.
The fallout reportedly caused a significant rift between Meghan and Doria. Meghan was allegedly livid with her mother, who had been entrusted to pave the way for high-caliber connections but instead landed them in what Meghan saw as the glittery chaos of Kardashian territory. However, ever the PR strategist, Meghan managed to put on a gracious front, insisting that all was well. Publicly, there were air kisses and smiles, but insiders suggest that behind the scenes, the tension was palpable.
Doria, meanwhile, was left to deal with the fallout, her networking efforts seemingly a bruising failure. Meghan, ever the savvy entrepreneur, has reportedly shifted focus, channeling her frustrations into maintaining a positive public image. Yet, the questions remain: Will Doria manage to mend her standing with Meghan and secure the connections her daughter so desperately seeks? Or will Meghan distance herself further from the Kardashian world and redirect her efforts toward her humanitarian endeavors and luxurious brand ambitions?
One thing is clear: while the Markle camp may project harmony to the public, behind the scenes, the fallout from this failed business endeavor seems to be brewing into a royal-sized storm.
