Kelly McKee Zajfen, a close friend of Meghan Markle, recently shared her admiration for the Duchess of Sussex in a heartfelt social media post. The two were seen together at the Children's Hospital LA Gala, where they celebrated their commitment to community support.
Zajfen Describes Meghan as Truly Inspiring
In her Instagram post, Zajfen expressed gratitude for their time together, calling Meghan "truly inspiring." She highlighted the Duchess's unwavering support for Children's Hospital Los Angeles, stating that being alongside Meghan during the event was a special experience. Zajfen emphasized the importance of their friendship, saying she feels fortunate to have Meghan by her side.
Personal Tragedy and Philanthropic Work
Zajfen, a co-founder of Alliance of Mums, an organization that aids pregnant and parenting youth in LA's foster care system, faced a tragic loss in 2022 when her nine-year-old son, George, died due to Covid-19 and viral meningitis. His twin sister, Lily, is currently dealing with heart issues. Despite these challenges, Zajfen has maintained a strong bond with Meghan over the past decade, a connection reflected in their shared philanthropic endeavors.
Support During Difficult Times
In a subsequent Instagram post, Zajfen acknowledged both Meghan and their mutual friend, actress Abigail Spencer, as significant sources of encouragement in her life. She expressed her appreciation for their unwavering support, demonstrating the deep care and friendship they share. This close-knit relationship was also evident in their recent trip together to Utah.
Meghan Faces Mixed Reviews Amid Negative Press
Zajfen's display of friendship comes at a tumultuous time for Meghan Markle, who has been in the spotlight following a critical article from the Hollywood Reporter. The piece portrayed Meghan as difficult and labeled her leadership style as problematic. In contrast, other reports have highlighted a different perspective, with staff members describing her as an understanding and supportive boss. Ashley Hansen, the Sussexes' global head of communications, even spoke on record about Meghan's personal outreach during her recovery from surgery. Despite these contradictory depictions, a former courtier's account offered a less flattering view, calling Meghan a challenging boss at times.
The Sussexes' Response to Ongoing Media Scrutiny
Insiders have revealed that the Sussexes were deeply affected by the Hollywood Reporter article. While the US Weekly article praising Meghan's management style appeared to be endorsed by the couple, the ongoing criticism has created a difficult environment. Reports indicate that this surge of negative publicity has placed additional stress on Harry and Meghan, complicating their transition in America.
