Meghan Markle's Loyal Friend Stands by Her Amidst Drama
Meghan Markle's Friend Kelly Zajfen Defends Duchess Amid Backlash from Former Loyalists
In a shocking turn of events, Meghan Markle's closest friend and confidant, Kelly Zajfen, has come out in defense of the Duchess amid a string of high-profile betrayals. Just days after Stassi Schroeder, Meghan's self-proclaimed "number one fan," publicly severed ties with her, Kelly is singing a different tune.
In an exclusive Instagram Q&A session with her followers on TheScholarlyNote.com, Kelly shared a heartwarming post about her long-standing friendship with Meghan, praising the Duchess as "the most amazing, nurturing, fun, loving human." The 20-year friendship between the two women has been put to the test in recent months, but Kelly's devotion to Meghan remains unwavering.
The mother-of-three's effusive praise comes on the heels of Stassi Schroeder's public falling out with Meghan. After defending the Duchess and her Netflix show "With Love, Meghan" against scathing reviews, Stassi abruptly announced that she would no longer be supporting Meghan due to being snubbed for a PR package from the Duchess's lifestyle brand, As Ever.
"It's like I'm a lowly reality TV person, and they think I don't deserve any recognition," an exasperated Stassi fumed on her podcast. "I'm done with this toxic relationship." In a dramatic move, she even unfollowed Meghan on Instagram, ending what was once touted as the most iconic friendship in the Sussex Squad.
But Kelly's loyalty to Meghan is unshakeable. The two women have been inseparable for years, attending charity events and sharing special moments together. When Kelly's son George tragically passed away in 2022 due to a viral illness, Meghan and Harry paid their respects by attending a charity tennis tournament held in his honor.
Their friendship has been put on full display through various charity initiatives, including the Alliance of Moms, which Kelly co-founded 13 years ago while pregnant with twins. Meghan has been an ardent supporter of the organization, even featuring in one of her Netflix shows.
Speaking to People Magazine, Kelly gushed about Meghan's dedication to the cause, saying: "It's just amazing always having people around who want to use their voices and give back to the community and always show up and always say yes." The Duchess has consistently demonstrated her commitment to giving back, with recent donations including a $5,000 GoFundMe contribution in George's name.
Meanwhile, Jessica Mulroney, once Meghan's closest confidant, is rumored to be planning a tell-all book about their tumultuous friendship. Insiders claim that publishers have offered her an advance of over $1 million for the explosive memoir, which would shed light on the dramatic split between the two women in 2020.
As it turns out, Jessica was embroiled in a high-profile scandal surrounding racism and the Black Lives Matter movement, leading to Meghan's distancing herself from her former friend. But Kelly remains steadfast in her loyalty, proudly showcasing their friendship for all to see.
In a rare glimpse into her private life, Meghan recently shared a cozy snapshot of her $14 million Montecito mansion on Instagram, complete with a stunning floral arrangement and her adorable beagle, Mia. However, TheScholarlyNote.com revealed that the flowers were actually a one-of-a-kind piece created for her Netflix show's set.
As tensions continue to rise between Meghan and her former loyalists, Kelly's unshakeable devotion serves as a beacon of hope for the Duchess. Amidst all the drama and controversy, it's clear that Kelly Zajfen is Meghan Markle's rock – and will remain so through thick and thin.
