Reports suggest that celebrities were cautious about being associated with Markle in photos, as it could be seen as endorsing her. One insider mentioned that while she may attend events and be in the same circles, they are not necessarily friends.
The summit was an opportunity for Markle to network with female founders and gain insights for her upcoming lifestyle brand launch, American Riviera Orchard.
