Meghan Markle ‘avoided by Hollywood A-listers’ as changes made to inner circle

Meghan Markle has been “spurned” by Hollywood A-listers, according to a royal commentator, as the Duke and Duchess of Sussexes look to strike up new friendships in Montecito, California. The latest claims come with reports suggesting the couple have made significant changes to their inner circle. Meghan and Prince Harry have long appeared to hold positive relationships with A-listers, with the likes of David Beckham and his wife Victoria attending their wedding in May 2018. But earlier this month, few star names attended when the duchess held a party to celebrate her 42nd birthday. Instead, Meghan and Harry instead opted to surround themselves by a group dubbed “The Montecito Mafia”, according to a report from The Sun.

Now she has to associate with people who she is scratching around, trying to make some money with. “Before Meghan met Harry, she was an ‘influencer’, and now she is back to square one. After everything, she is back to square one, and there is no prospect of cultivating the A-listers. “The A-list aren’t interested in having anything to do with her anymore.” Last month, David and Victoria Beckham – longtime friends of Meghan and Harry – were allegedly accused of leaking stories about the Sussexes.

The insider added: “David and Victoria went to Meghan and Harry’s wedding and were very supportive when Meghan arrived in the UK. Any making-up now is so unlikely.” Meghan’s birthday celebrations earlier this month showed a remarkable shift in the Sussexes’ inner circle. They now reportedly appear to be growing closer to a group dubbed ‘The Montecito Mafia’ with many of the people they now hang out with being next-door neighbors.
