Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have reportedly lost multiple once-close friendships with their celebrity pals.
Markle and Harryâs 2018 wedding was a star-studded affair â with Oprah Winfrey, Victoria and David Beckham and more A-listers watching the nuptials â but a significant number of the coupleâs friendships have fizzled out in the eight years since, the Daily Mail reported Saturday.
The couple has âno bridges left to burnâ â though they reportedly donât think itâs due to their own behavior, the outlet reported.
âThey donât get it. They never think it is them,â one associate of the Sussexes reportedly revealed.
âThey love famous people â they are very name-droppy. The association gives them a kick,â the source continued. âBut if someone stops calling, they donât ask why.â
NewsNationâs Paula Froelich told the outlet that some of the coupleâs celeb friends have distanced themselves because theyâre wary of Markle associating them with any of her branding.
âNo one wants to hang out with Meghan,â she added. âLots of reasons, but she might sell clothes while using their name.â
Froelich claimed Winfrey is one of the coupleâs former pals who has since distanced herself after her bombshell two-hour interview with Markle in 2021.
Winfrey did not appear on Markleâs now-canceled Netflix show, âWith Love, Meghan,â or feature Markleâs 2021 childrenâs book, âThe Bench,â in her popular book club.
A source told the outlet that some of the coupleâs famous pals are also tired of footing the bill for them in the form of private jets or paying for events.
âThey ask for a lot of resources to be spent as they believe it is a privilege to be in their circle,â a source claimed. âThey think they are entitled to all the private planes.â
The source added of Markle, âShe is the cheapest!â
More A-list pals whose friendships have reportedly cooled with the Sussexes include George and Amal Clooney, the Beckhams and Serena Williams.
âShe has since put distance between herself and Meghan,â with a source claiming, â[Williams] is not a drama queen and she tires of it all,â the Daily Mail reported.
Page Six reached out to Meghan and Harryâs rep, as well as reps for Winfrey and Williams, but didnât receive an immediate response.
