Meghan Markle may reportedly be desperate to make her Hollywood comeback – but she may have a harder time doing so if there is any truth in the rumors that she and Prince Harry are losing more and more A-list friends as the days go on.
According to the late Princess Diana’s former butler, Paul Burrell, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s once very long list of celebrity friends – which included Oprah Winfrey and George and Amal Clooney – is getting shorter by the day, and they are viewed as a ‘side show’ in the U.S. So it isn’t just their neighbors who are sick of them…
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Are Reportedly Losing Celebrity Friends
"Harry and Meghan's circle is getting smaller and smaller. I think the A-list stars are dropping like flies," Burrell candidly told Closer magazine last month. "Some already have done – Oprah no longer seems involved with them and some other celebrities have also dropped them."
"Back in the day, the A-listers were riding on the moment – Harry and Meghan were the most popular couple in the country at one time, when they got married, but there's since been a decline," he continued.
Burrell went on to claim that he believes American celebrities see Prince Harry and the former Suits actress more as a "side show," which could make sense if we are to believe the reports that claimed A-list couples such as the Clooneys and Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have declined recent invitations from them.
Victoria Beckham Reportedly Recently Gave Meghan Markle 'The Cold Shoulder'
Victoria Beckham is another A-lister who may not be as close to the American Riviera Orchard founder as she once was, as an insider recently claimed that she gave Meghan the "cold shoulder."
"Meghan's been shocked by how Vic seems to have given her the cold shoulder. Even reaching out herself when her team received no response when requesting a dress," an insider reportedly told Closer. "Meghan has been told that both Victoria and David may have disapproved of how she and Harry have behaved over the last few months and Meghan has noticed Vic pulling back, but never expected her to freeze her out like this."
"She feels personally ghosted by Victoria and feels that the relationship is now broken beyond repair," the source continued, before going on to say that the mom-of-two hopes that "she can claw things back and repair their friendship." The source added: "Knowing how well-connected the Beckhams are with such a strong presence globally, Meghan hoped that her friendship with Victoria would help repair her tarnished image. She's hell-bent on getting back in Vic's good books amid a dwindling ‘little black book' of celebrity ‘friends.'"
