As Andy El Bayeh recently married his new bride Raquelle Saba in Lebanon, a former close confidante of his ex-wife Harriet Williams has seemingly made a public display of support for the newlyweds.
Mel Coates, who was described as Harriet Williams' best friend of 20 years, has reportedly been liking Raquelle Saba's pre-wedding Instagram posts. These included a photograph of Saba posing in a white dress two weeks prior to the ceremony. Coates also notably liked the couple's engagement post on January 7, adding a series of love-heart emojis in the caption.
According to insiders, Coates ended her friendship with Williams not long after her split from El Bayeh in 2024. She subsequently aligned herself with her former best friend's ex-husband and, later, his new wife.
