Meghan Markle is said to have been left reeling after Chrissy Teigen’s “awkward online history” undercuts her latest interview for CBS.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were recently interviewed to discuss cyberbullying and how to protect children from online abuse, with a sit-down chat airing last Sunday – Meghan’s 43rd birthday – on CBS.
However, as reported by the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden, Meghan could likely have been left red-faced after her friend’s past of sending a string of abusive messages to teenagers online.
The messages, which were not revealed until years later, included hurtful comments such as, “I can’t wait for you to die” and “I hate you”.
After the messages became public, Ms Teigan – who is married to singer John Legend – was later forced to apologise to the youngsters.
Discussing the incident, Mr Eden wrote in the latest Palace Confidential column: “[Chrissy] didn’t apologise until a decade later, after the messages had been made public, resulting in numerous brands, including Bloomingdale’s luxury department store chain, dropping her.
“Apparently, this wasn’t a big issue for Meghan, who sent Teigan a jar of her American Riviera Orchard jam earlier this year.”
Following the launch of Meghan’s brand, the mother of two sent a jar of the jam to 50 frends and influencers – including Chrissy, fashion designer Tracy Robbins and socialite Delfina Blaquier.
Taking to social media back in April, Chrissy shared how she devoured the jam – opting to pair it with rustic bread, triple cream brie and thick-cut bacon.

In the emotional interview, Meghan shared her own experience of having suicidal thoughts during her time as a senior working royal.
The mother of two told host Jane Pauley: “When you’ve been through any level of pain or trauma, I believe part of our healing journey – certainly part of mine – is being able to be really open about it.
“I really scraped the surface on my experience, but I do think that I would never want someone else to feel that way and I would never want someone else to be making those sort of plans and I would never want someone else to not be believed.”
She added: “If me voicing what I have overcome will save someone or encourage someone in their life to really, genuinely check in on them and not assume that the appearance is good so everything is okay, then that’s worth it. I’ll take a hit for that.”
