Meghan Markle has publicly lent her blessings to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's recent engagement announcement, giving the couple's joint Instagram post a heartfelt thumbs-up on her official account. The post, adorned with pictures from their romantic garden proposal, was captioned whimsically, "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married." Markle wasn't the only royal fan to celebrate; Prince William and Princess Kate also liked the post from their official account, joining in the millions of well-wishers. Kate's brother, James Middleton, was also among those who rejoiced at the couple's joyful news.
However, Markle's gesture of support came amidst whispers that she felt somewhat eclipsed by Swift's big reveal. A source revealed that the unveiling of Swift's new album, 'The Life of a Showgirl,' stole the spotlight from the initial trailer for the second season of Markle's Netflix show. "Meghan had hoped her trailer would dominate the news cycle. Instead, Taylor's announcement came crashing in like a wrecking ball," said the source, adding that Markle saw this as her moment to shine back in the public eye and was disappointed with the reception it received.
Swift and Kelce shared their engagement news on Instagram, posting enchanting photos of their special moment, showcasing Swift's dazzling diamond engagement ring, designed by Kelce in collaboration with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry. The engagement news conveniently coincided with the release of Markle's Netflix show, 'With Love, Meghan,' season two, which has garnered a mixed bag of reviews from critics and audiences alike.
This isn't the first time Swift has found herself entangled in royal headlines. In June 2024, Swift met Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte backstage at one of her Eras Tour concerts. The encounter was unforgettable, with Swift sharing an anecdote about her boyfriend holding a beer while meeting the royals, leaving her unsure of their reaction.
