He was then invited backstage to meet the singer and took along his two eldest children – Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, he explained: “Because of Taylor’s considerable clout, her friendliness towards William may very well be unnerving to Meghan.
If Swift publicly endorsed or supported the Duchess in any way, it would immediately bring a cascade of adoring Swifties into her camp.”
Taylor’s close relationship with William comes after she declined Meghan’s “personal letter” to appear on her Archetypes podcast. Meghan is believed to have reached out to Taylor to join her on her podcast last year but was rejected by the singer.
According to the Telegraph, Meghan wrote a “personal letter” to Taylor, asking her to appear on Archetypes, “but the singer declined, through a representative.” Despite the snub, Ryan doesn’t believe it will have been damaging to Meghan’s brand.
He explained: “I don’t think Taylor’s decision will be damaging to Meghan. If a number of high profile celebrities and power brokers were to begin publicly dissing or distance themselves from Markle, the fallout would certainly diminish her standing.”
