Kinsey said: "Meghan is desperate to be Taylor's friend." She added: "Meghan invited Taylor Swift on her podcast by sitting down and writing her a handwritten letter begging her to be on Archetypes."
Kinsey went on to suggest Meghan would have been inspired by Taylor's presence at the Super Bowl, where she was treated like rock'n'roll royalty as she cheered on her boyfriend Travis Kelce.
Kinsey said Meghan would have been watching it all play out and thinking 'how do I do that?' on such a level. She claimed: "Meghan attended the Taylor Swift concert in Los Angeles, but she made sure People Magazine new she attended.
The expert also suggested Meghan "wants to be like Taylor Swift marketing-wise". Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have hit headlines this week as they rebranded their website. Their previous site, Archewell, now automatically redirects to Sussex.com.
The plush website consistently refers to the couple by their official royal titles. It features a photograph of the pair, with the text 'The Office of Prince Harry & Meghan, The Duke & Duchess of Sussex', alongside a royal coat of arms.
It comes as the couple were accused of "exploiting the royal family." Harry and Meghan left the Royal Family to seek “financial freedom” and quickly set about signing commercial deals with streaming giants Netflix and Spotify for an estimated £100million.
Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal described Prince Harry and Meghan's dealings with Netflix as 'big ideas, subpar execution.' The outlet suggests Netflix and Spotify executives were 'underwhelmed' by the duo's ideas.
