Meghan Markle Hollywood friends ‘dropping like flies’: ‘Oprah no longer involved’
Meghan Markle is reportedly losing her key friends in Hollywood. The Duchess of Sussex, who is currently working on her lifestyle brand titled American Riviera Orchard, has found herself increasingly isolated from her A-lister pals.
This news comes on the heels of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision to skip the royal wedding of the year, where the Duke of Westminster tied the knot with Olivia Henson. Their absence from this high-profile event has further fueled speculation about their standing in elite social circles.
Burrell, who once served Princess Diana, divulged to The Mirror!: “Harry and Meghan’s circle is getting smaller and smaller. I think the A-list stars are dropping like flies. Some already have done – Oprah no longer seems involved with them and some other celebrities have also dropped them.”
He added: “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.” The shift in Meghan’s social life is notable, especially considering her previous close connections with some of Hollywood’s biggest names.
Sources suggest that the Duchess’s focus on her new lifestyle brand might be contributing to the growing distance between her and her former friends. American Riviera Orchard, Meghan’s ambitious new venture, aims to blend her passion for wellness and high-end living. Despite her enthusiasm for the project, the launch appears to have coincided with a decline in her social interactions with Hollywood elites.
The reasons behind this alleged social shift remain unclear, but some speculate that Meghan’s move away from the royal family and her new business pursuits may have caused friction. The pressures of balancing a new business, public scrutiny, and personal relationships might be taking their toll.
This development comes amidst a backdrop of other significant changes for the Sussexes. Their decision to step down from royal duties and relocate to the United States has been met with mixed reactions. While they have garnered a supportive following, they have also faced criticism and intense media scrutiny.
