Who are Meghan Markle’s friends Cleo Wade and Kadi Lee? How the Duchess dined with politically-connected Instagram poet and hairdresser to the stars

She has no shortage of glamorous friends, including Serena Williams, Oprah Winfrey, and Tyler Perry in her inner circle.

But Meghan Markle seems to have added two more very well-connected friends to her job.

The Duchess of Sussex continued her 42nd birthday this week as she dined out in California with highly glamorous Instagram poet Cleo Wade and famed colorist Kadi Lee.

A photo of the trio was shared on Instagram by Kadi, who wrote, “Belated birthday celebrations with these beautiful muses.”

The hairdresser, who runs the “Highbrow Hippie” salon in Venice, California, has often posted about coloring Meghan’s hair.

Her other clients include Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt and Sigourney Weaver. Clearly friendlier than just the parlor chair, she recently attended a lecture by Michelle Obama with Pretty Woman star Julia.

Meanwhile, New Orleans native Cleo may have even more connections.

Meanwhile, New Orleans native Cleo may have even more connections. Often spotted in the front row of fashion weeks, the 33-year-old mother of two is often seen alongside her fiancé Simon Kinberg, an Oscar-nominated filmmaker who wrote the X-Men films, produced Deadpool and The Martian ( pictured at Vanity Fair’s Oscar party in March 2022)

Before her engagement to Simon, she was in a two-year relationship with Senator Cory Booker, who is often touted as a future president.

The poet, artist and activist with 779,000 followers on Instagram has also modeled for American Eagle’s Aerie campaign and boast sold-out performances and legions of fans.

Reese Witherspoon also speaks highly of her, saying her fans “adore her the way you would adore your favorite loving, creative aunt or older sister.”

In 2019, after her split with the Senator, she donated to Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign.

The documents showed that she sent two $2,800 checks to Kamala Harris for the People — and nothing to her ex.

She also seems to be friends with Vice President Harris.

Wade was also a supporter of Harris long before she was with Booker, donating to her Senate campaign and attending a number of high-profile events in support of the former attorney general.

Little was known about the couple’s relationship, with Wade notoriously private about her love life and Booker a lifelong bachelor.

Before her romance with Booker, she was also linked to Robert Pattinson.

Meanwhile, hairdresser Kadi seems to share her liberal politics. While she doesn’t have her own Instagram, the stylist often shares posts from the salon’s Highbrow Hippie account where she’s attended BLM marches

Before her success as a poet (having published four best-selling books), Cleo worked as a stylist for Katy Perry.

She also served on the creative board of pro-choice activist group Emily’s List and is on the board of the National Black Theater in Harlem.

In an interview with website Valentine NYC, Cleo revealed, “I think I came out of the womb and said, ‘I love you’ – I say it to everyone all the time.”

Speaking to the New York Times in 2018, she added that she “doesn’t have to know anyone to love them” and said she was “everyone’s BFF.”

Other blogs on her website include “aligning your period with the moon” and details on how she colors celebrity hair.
