Royal Drama Unveiled: Meghan Markle’s Alleged Fallout with Friends
Meghan Markle made a surprise appearance at the British Fashion Awards, stunning attendees with her presence as she presented an award to her wedding dress designer, Claire Waite Keller.
Among the starstruck faces was Kendall Jenner, who expressed a desire to meet the pregnant duchess that night.
However, according to reports from TMZ, Markle's backstage area at the Royal Albert Hall was strictly guarded by security and royal protection officers throughout the event.
A security measure known as the Royal Movement was implemented, ensuring clear hallways and stairs every time Markle moved.
Jenner, along with Rita Ora and Victoria and David Beckham, were reportedly frustrated by the tight security around Markle.
Jenner and Ora sought to meet the duchess in person, while the Beckhams, likely friends of Markle, wished to exchange greetings at the prestigious event.
Despite the high-profile attendees, only actress Rosamund Pike and Claire Waite Keller were confirmed to have spent time with Markle that night.
The trio even posed for photos in a gif photo booth after presenting an award together, although the video has mysteriously vanished from social media.
In recent years, Meghan Markle has distanced herself from many friends, maintaining a small circle of close companions.
Stylist Jessica Mulroney was one constant in Markle's life until a controversy involving a disagreement over the Black Lives Matter movement with Canadian influencer Sasha Exeter led to Mulroney losing her job on a reality show.
Although Mulroney apologized for her actions, Markle reportedly felt compelled to sever ties with her publicly to protect her own reputation and dignity.
Markle's estrangement from friends is not a new phenomenon.
Her half-sister, Samantha Markle, has been vocal in criticizing her sister in the media and even wrote a tell-all book titled “Diary of Princess Pushy's Sister.”
Additionally, jewelry designer Nenaki Priddy, a longtime friend of Markle's, felt cast aside after Markle's first marriage ended in 2013.
Priddy described Markle as calculated and strategic in her relationships, noting her ability to abruptly cut off connections once a decision is made.
The ripple effect of Markle's alleged distancing from friends has extended to Prince Harry, who reportedly distanced himself from several of his companions after marrying Markle.
Close childhood friend Tom Skippy was said to have been excluded from the couple's inner circle following advice he gave to Prince Harry against marrying the actress.
Lizzie Cundy, a friend of Harry's, shared insights suggesting that Markle played a role in isolating Harry from his close friends, including the banker who had been a longtime companion since their school days at Eton.
