Hollywood A-Listers Distancing Themselves from Harry and Meghan
Prince Harry's New Book Leaves Some Friends Off Thank-You List
In a surprising turn of events, it has been revealed that Hollywood power couple George and Amal Clooney have distanced themselves from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The Duke of Sussex, in his new book “Spare”, has expressed his deep gratitude to a long list of individuals.
However, it seems that the names of some of his close pals, including George Clooney, have been omitted from this list.
Although the Clooneys were invited to the royal wedding in 2018, reports suggest that they did not actually know the newlyweds at the time.
However, a friendship seemed to blossom in the following months when Harry and Meghan spent a weekend at the Clooneys' house in Lake Como in August of that year.
According to a source, the Clooneys had extended an open invitation to Meghan and Harry at the beginning of the summer and were delighted to host them.
It is believed that Harry and George share a special bond and friendship, while Amal and Meghan have many similar interests, with the barrister helping the former actress settle into London life.
George Clooney himself spoke about his friendship with the Sussexes in a 2019 interview with Mail Online, mentioning that they had enjoyed dinner parties together.
He described Harry and Meghan as “nice, fun, kind people” and predicted that they would be great parents.
However, it now appears that the Clooneys have distanced themselves from the couple, with reports suggesting that they have blocked all communication from the “Harkles” (a combination of Harry and Meghan's names).
The rift between the couples seems to have stemmed from Harry and Meghan's behavior.
In their book “Finding Freedom”, the Sussexes described George Clooney's Como house in great detail, which did not sit well with the Clooneys.
Additionally, they have been described as abrasive and difficult to work with, burning bridges left and right.
Their inability to handle criticism or perceived slights has become their trademark strategy, which has proven to be ineffective, especially in the cutthroat worlds of politics and show business.
Prince Harry's recent interviews and memoir have also had an impact on his popularity, particularly in the United States.
Since relocating to America with Meghan in 2020, the couple has focused on charitable causes and establishing their brand.
However, Harry's public criticism of his royal relatives during his solo TV appearances promoting his memoir has raised concerns.
Eric Schiffer, chairman of reputation management consultants, believes that this move may negatively affect Harry's popularity in the US.
Schiffer explains that Harry was admired in the US for his focus on the environment, mental health, and equality.
However, his recent actions have transformed him into what Schiffer describes as a “whining reality TV character,” tarnishing his once-positive American image.
The barrage of criticism directed at the royal family has not only turned off the British public but is likely to have a similar effect on Americans.
What stands out about Harry's memoir and recent interviews is his desire to enter new territory.
However, it remains to be seen how this will ultimately impact his relationships and public perception.
