Taylor Swift rejects Meghan Markle as she sides with 'Team Wales'
According to royal analyst Kinsey Schofield, Swift declined a previous invitation to be a guest on Meghan Markle's now-canceled Spotify podcast, despite the Duchess of Sussex personally reaching out to her.
Speaking with Mark Dolan on GB News, Schofield said, "I think that he's probably spent a few minutes with her. We know that they took a selfie. She has spent time with him previously."
Schofield suggested that Meghan might be envious of William's time with Taylor Swift, given that Meghan attended the Grammy winner's event in Los Angeles, California, in 2023, per OK! Magazine.
"There is great video of them singing with Jon Bon Jovi at a charity event," Schofield mentioned regarding Swift and William's last encounter. "Now, remember, Meghan Markle had requested for Taylor to be her podcast."

"She wrote her a handwritten letter and Taylor's team rejected it," Schofield said of Meghan's communication with the singer.
Schofield further added, "Megan also later released through People magazine that she had spent some time at a Taylor Swift concert. So I think we are seeing our Taylor side with Team Wales here over the last few hours."
"Also, you know, a lot of people pointing out the pictures of Meghan and Harry at the Beyonce concert, where Harry looks pretty miserable versus Prince William shaking his tail feather at the Taylor Swift concert."
"You're just seeing that Prince William is pursuing joy. And I think that is important," Schofield said.
Markle has embarked on several business endeavors since their move to California, one of which is a partnership with Spotify for Meghan's podcast, 'Archetypes.'
In August 2022, 'Archetypes' had its premiere, bringing in several prominent personalities, including Paris Hilton, Mariah Carey, and Serena Williams, per GB News.
Later, Spotify and the Sussexes' production company, Archewell, issued a joint statement saying they had "mutually agreed to part ways."
