Meghan Markle’s ‘pseudo’ A-lister pals think of her as a ‘falling star’: Journalist Reveals Growing Isolation
Meghan Markle is reportedly losing her A-list celebrity friends one after the other, as noted by several sources. The Duchess of Sussex, who has been known to rub shoulders with Hollywood stars over the past few years, now finds her circle shrinking due to increasing unpopularity.
Journalist Hilary Fordwich recently commented on this trend: “Look at Gwyneth Paltrow distancing herself from Meghan and Harry; she is the latest A-lister to come out in support of Kate.” Fordwich’s observations highlight a significant shift in Meghan’s social landscape. Once surrounded by high-profile friends, Meghan now faces growing isolation as more celebrities publicly distance themselves from her and Prince Harry, reported Daily Express.
This comes as Paltrow sent best wishes to Kate Middleton over her Trooping the Colour appearance. “So happy to see you looking so happy and well,” she added. The journalist added: “I don’t think Harry and Meghan realize that you need a USP, you need to be unique. Harry has nothing, the only thing that made him and Meghan unique was their links to the Royal Family.
“Everyone is out for themselves. People don’t want to be with a falling star, and I don’t think Harry and Meghan realize how transient these ‘friendships’ are. “They are pseudo-friends. They only go with people they think are rising stars.”
The reasons behind this distancing vary, but many speculate that Meghan’s controversial exit from royal duties and the subsequent public scrutiny have played a role. The couple’s explosive interviews and memoirs have drawn mixed reactions from the public and their peers in Hollywood. “Many of these celebrities are very mindful of their public image and brand,” Fordwich explained. “Aligning with Meghan and Harry, especially amid ongoing controversies, might not be seen as beneficial.”
This distancing is not just limited to casual acquaintances. Reports suggest that even some of Meghan’s closest friends are reevaluating their associations. The shift indicates a broader trend within Hollywood, where public perception significantly influences relationships and alliances.
Fordwich also pointed out the contrasting support for Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge. “Celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow are openly showing their support for Kate, which speaks volumes about where the public sentiment currently lies.”
The ramifications of this shift are not just social but could also impact Meghan and Harry’s professional endeavors. Their projects and collaborations often rely on the support and goodwill of their celebrity peers. Losing this support could pose challenges to their future plans.
