Meghan Markle Disappointed Over People’s Choice Awards Loss to Friends Reunion

The fallout from Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this year continues to reverberate through the media landscape.

The couple's revelations made headlines and sparked widespread debate.

However, recent reports suggest that Meghan Markle had hoped for more recognition for the interview, only to be disappointed when it lost out to HBO Max's Friends: The Reunion at the People's Choice Awards.

According to tabloids, the Duchess of Sussex had expected her engagement with Oprah to propel her back into the Hollywood spotlight, surpassing even established stars like Jennifer Aniston.

But with the success of the Friends special, it seems that Aniston's star power remains higher than Meghan's.

This perceived snub has left the former actress feeling furious and hurt.

To make matters worse, it is rumored that Jennifer Aniston has repeatedly turned down Meghan's invitations.

The Murder Mystery star allegedly declined the Duchess of Sussex's offers to dine at their new Montecito home.

This rejection adds insult to injury for Meghan, who had hoped to forge connections with A-list celebrities, only to find her attempts backfiring.

This isn't the first time tension between Meghan and Jennifer Aniston has been reported.

When Meghan had a small role in the film Horrible Bosses, she had hoped to impress Aniston and establish a friendship.

However, her part was drastically reduced, leaving her devastated.

It is claimed that Meghan expressed her disappointment by bad-mouthing the movie and its stars, including Aniston.

These complaints allegedly reached Aniston's ears, further straining their potential friendship.

When Meghan and Harry relocated to Los Angeles, Meghan saw an opportunity to build a relationship with Aniston.

She extended an invitation to hang out, but it was snubbed.

The strained dynamics between the two women seem to persist, with suspicions and mistrust lingering.

In addition to the People's Choice Awards disappointment, Meghan and Harry may also face financial setbacks.

It is speculated that their podcast deal with Spotify, rumored to be worth £18 million ($25 million), might not materialize as expected.

The first episode of their podcast reportedly received less attention than anticipated, leading media lawyer Ian Penman to suggest that their popularity may not be as great as initially believed.

Penman further explained that if Spotify hasn't requested the next episode, it could indicate that the couple's podcast didn't meet the expected level of popularity.

While representatives for Meghan and Harry have yet to comment on the matter, Penman believes that Spotify likely paid them a small advance and retains the right to back out of the full $25 million deal if the podcast fails to gain traction.

As the fallout from Meghan and Harry's interview continues, it remains to be seen how these disappointments will impact their future endeavors.

Will Meghan find her footing in Hollywood?

Can the couple regain their podcast's momentum?

Only time will tell as they navigate the complexities of their post-royal lives.
