Recent revelations have surfaced regarding Meghan Markle’s relationships, painting a picture of a Duchess who has distanced herself from numerous former friends.
Just days after a striking appearance at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Gala alongside her current close companion, Kelly McKee Zajfen, it was reported that Meghan narrowly missed an encounter with Lizzie Cundy, a British socialite and one of her past confidantes.
Markle, now 43, caught everyone’s attention on the red carpet, but the buzz didn’t stop there.
The following day, it was disclosed that she had previously severed ties with Cundy, who met Meghan when she first arrived in the UK.
Cundy expressed her disappointment, revealing that after Meghan got engaged to Prince Harry in 2017, she felt “ghosted” by the actress.
“Once the ring was on her finger, I realized she vanished from Twitter, and her phone number was no longer in service,” Cundy recounted in a 2021 interview with Grazia.
Royal biographer Ingrid Seward weighed in on this situation, suggesting that Meghan has been quite ruthless in her approach to friendships.
“I believe she has managed to alienate many of her old friends,” Seward shared with The Sun.
Her method of cutting off connections, which some refer to as ‘ghosting,’ seems to leave many feeling hurt and confused.
Cundy is not alone in her experience; a growing list of notable figures no longer maintain a friendship with the Duchess.
This roster includes high-profile names such as Victoria Beckham, Canadian socialite Jessica Mulroney, and Meghan’s childhood friend, Ninaki Priddy.
The fallout with Beckham allegedly began when Meghan accused the former Spice Girl of leaking stories about them to the media, a claim that reportedly angered both David and Victoria Beckham.
This accusation seems to have marked a significant turning point in their relationship.
Jessica Mulroney’s friendship with Meghan also deteriorated after a series of unfortunate events.
Initially, the two were inseparable, having bonded while Meghan worked on Suits in Toronto back in 2011.
Jessica even had her children included in Meghan’s 2018 royal wedding.
However, things took a turn during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests when Mulroney found herself embroiled in a racism scandal.
Despite never publicly addressing the fallout, Mulroney has shared vague posts on social media that many interpret as subtle references to her friendship with Meghan.
This silence speaks volumes about the tension that has developed between the two women.
Among the former friends, only Ninaki Priddy appears to have chosen to end the friendship herself.
Priddy has voiced her disapproval regarding how Meghan treated her first husband, Trevor Engelson.
She later hinted to a British tabloid that Meghan always had a fascination with royalty long before meeting Prince Harry, suggesting she harbored dreams of being like Princess Diana.
This saga of lost friendships raises questions about the nature of relationships in the public eye.
How does fame and fortune affect personal connections?
It appears that for Meghan, the transition into royal life has come with significant sacrifices, particularly when it comes to her
