Meghan Markle’s Secret Support: Jameela Jamil Opens Up on Personal Struggles and Kindness
EXCLUSIVE: Meghan Markle's Secret Messages of Support Revealed!
In a shocking revelation, Jameela Jamil has spilled the tea on her close (but not too close) friendship with none other than Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex! The actress and influencer opened up about their bond in an exclusive chat with The Times, revealing that Meghan sent her messages of support during tough times.
The 39-year-old Jameela, who's been living in Los Angeles for almost a decade, is now planning to move back to London. But before she bid adieu to the States, she got up close and personal with the royal family, including Prince Harry's wife.
When asked about their friendship, Jameela gushed about Meghan's kindness: "She was kind to me... And sent me a message of support when I was going through something very hard." But don't get it twisted - they're not BFFs just yet. Jameela clarified, "No, of course not. It's a different planet."
The two women do have a working relationship, and Jameela even appeared on Meghan's Archetypes podcast episode in 2022! In the chat, Jameela compared her relationship with James Blake to Meghan's marriage, saying, "[James] is just an incredible human, an incredible friend... I don't think I could have withstood all this without him. I know you have a very similar dynamic with Harry."
The pair first met during Meghan's guest-edited Vogue issue in 2019, when Jameela was one of the 15 Forces For Change featured on the cover.
But what really got our attention was Jameela's heartfelt tribute to Meghan's unwavering support: "I also just want to thank you for being such a sobering voice of unwavering support to me... You privately reach out to us in our most lonely and desperate moments. And we need more of that in the world."
Talk about girl power!
In other royal news, Meghan's makeup artist, Daniel Martin, spilled the beans on her go-to highlighter - and it's not just any ordinary product! Daniel revealed that he uses Live Tinted Hueglow liquid highlighter drops, retailing at $38 (£28), to give Meghan that radiant glow. Who knew being a royal was so... glowy?
Daniel also dished out the secret behind Meghan's "no makeup" look: it's all about the right lighting (or lack thereof)! He shared his expertise on a Gloss Angeles podcast episode, saying, "It gives your skin this beautiful; it's like when Pat McGrath did the whole mask that just made skin look like glass. It's that, but in a product."
But wait, there's more! Daniel also gave us a sneak peek into Meghan's beauty routine: "I add it to foundation too if I want to add a bit of radiance because the texture feels like skincare... It's very compatible with makeup, and sometimes with makeup, things can get too shiny if it's already like shimmery, whereas this just gives it an added lacquer."
We're obsessed!
And finally, whispers are circulating about Meghan's plans to expand her lifestyle brand, As Ever, into the hospitality industry! According to reports, she's trademarking the name for "hospitality services," including hotels and restaurants. Could we be seeing a royal takeover of the culinary world?
Meghan's representatives declined to comment when approached by The Scholarly Note.
