Prince Harry and Meghan Markle face Hollywood exclusion amid royal family tension
Hollywood celebrities keeping distance from Prince Harry, Meghan Markle as Royal tension arise
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's strained ties with the Royal Family has resulted in Hollywood isolation.
Numerous prominent figures in Hollywood are deliberately distancing themselves from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex due to concerns that the couple might publicly expose their secrets or harm their relationship with Kate and Prince William, as per News Nation's report.
Renowned personalities like Steven Spielberg, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Rob Lowe are among those who are choosing to keep their distance from the couple..
This decision came after the former Lieutenant Commander of the Royal Navy and the Random Encounters star revealed obscure information about the royal family in a Netflix documentary.
Interestingly, despite hosting the viral interview with the 38-year-old prince and former actress in March 2021, Oprah Winfrey did not invite them to her birthday party this year.
According to News Nation's senior story producer Paula Froelich, "Everyone's got a movie to sell and a Broadway play they want to bring over to London."
She continued, "They know William and Kate, who are the biggest gets in England aren't gonna show up if they're besties with Harry and Meghan."
The reason behind this, as well as others avoiding association with Harry his wife, is that people in Hollywood have various projects to promote and they wish to maintain a good relationship with William and Kate, who hold significant influence in England.
Froelich emphasized that the primary motivation behind these actions is financial, as the major power players in Hollywood are not willing to risk their business ties with the royal family for the sake of the couple.
She said, "My sources tell me it's all about the money. And the big power players in Hollywood aren't jeopardizing their business for Harry and Meghan."
The tension between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the royals extends beyond Hollywood events.
For instance, the White House denied the Anti-Social star and her husband a flight on Air Force One when they wanted to return to the US after attending Queen Elizabeth's funeral.
The move was reportedly to safeguard the U.S President Joe Biden's relationship with the royal family.
Adding to the strained relations, Harry's memoir Spare has become Europe’s most discarded book this holiday season.
