**Meghan Markle Accused of Undermining Sarah Rafferty’s Career Opportunities**

Sarah Rafferty has recently accused Meghan Markle of sabotaging her career prospects to secure John Fitzpatrick's invitation to a prestigious event at the White House.

Fitzpatrick, a renowned hotelier and philanthropist honored with an OBE by the Queen for his peace efforts in Northern Ireland, has been a longtime friend of Markle.

Their acquaintance blossomed during a meeting at Fitzpatrick's New York hotel, facilitated by golfer Rory McIlroy, eventually leading to Markle attending the White House gathering and a Clinton fundraiser.

In a recent interview, Fitzpatrick expressed his admiration for the TV series “Suits” and his desire to befriend its female stars.

Initially intending to invite Sarah Rafferty, a lead actress in the show, to his events, Fitzpatrick ended up extending the invitation solely to Meghan.

This decision culminated in Meghan's boast on her blog, The Tig, about meeting Obama for the first time during the White House event, leaving Rafferty sidelined.

Allegedly, Markle's relationships with her “Suits” co-stars soured towards the end of her tenure on the show in 2018.

Reports suggest that tensions escalated over Rafferty, with claims that Markle attempted to secure commercial endorsement deals for her colleague through Laurie Sale, a merchandising agent.

However, Meghan later accused Sale of a conflict of interest, sparking further controversy and accusations of manipulation.

Sources close to the situation revealed that Markle frequently undermined Rafferty's professional opportunities by tarnishing her reputation among industry contacts.

Markle's charm offensive on Fitzpatrick ultimately led to her replacing Rafferty at the White House meeting, further fueling speculations of behind-the-scenes manipulations.

In a recent interview, Sarah Rafferty evaded questions about her current relationship with Markle, citing the actress's busy schedule.

Meanwhile, within Kensington Palace, Meghan was reportedly struggling to acclimate.

Isolating herself from former acquaintances like Gina Torres and other “Suits” colleagues, Meghan exhibited signs of discomfort and unease in her new royal role.

John Fitzpatrick, reflecting on a visit to Kensington Palace, noted a stark contrast in Meghan's demeanor.

Despite a formal initial greeting, Meghan gradually opened up during their conversation, only to revert to a composed facade when the staff returned.

Visitors to the palace described Meghan as troubled, expressing dissatisfaction with the lack of support and the relentless media scrutiny she faced.

One major challenge for Meghan stemmed from her reluctance to embrace traditional royal duties, leading to criticism over her limited public engagements.

By late 2018, Meghan had participated in only eight official royal events, including Trooping the Colour and Remembrance Day service.

Negative press coverage further exacerbated her struggles, with tabloids like The Sun intensifying scrutiny on her every move.
