“Furious” King Charles is avoiding the rebellious Prince Harry and his diva wife, Meghan Markle, by maintaining a scary wall of silence that is a disaster for their hopes of becoming superstars, a new report claimed.
King Charles, who was diagnosed with cancer in January, is refusing to take Prince Harry's calls, according to sources. Now, Hollywood royalty is following his lead by also snubbing the rebel Duke and Duchess of Sussex four years after they selfishly quit their royal duties and skipped out to California to become mega-wealthy celebrities, as per In Touch Weekly.
“Silence is NOT golden for Harry and Meghan. They thought they’d be welcomed with open arms when they moved to California, but instead they’re toast, being kept at arm’s length by the very people they expected to kowtow to them,” a high-level palace courtier claimed.
According to the source, however, this should not come as a surprise to them because "they spewed so many shocking accusations including racism, cruelty, and violence at the royals — King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Kate, who is battling cancer — all trust was destroyed." “Now Harry’s furious father won’t even answer his calls! Tinseltown took notice and invites dried up. The stars are leery about being seen in their orbit,” it added.
When Meghan, 43, flew across the country from their $14 million Montecito property, where she lives with Prince Harry, 39, and their children, Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3, to the high-society Hamptons for the G9 Ventures Summer Summit which took place a month ago, it was clear that the Sussexes were being ignored.
In an effort to network with influential female business owners in advance of the formal launch of her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, the former television actress was noticeably absent from photographs taken with A-list attendees such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon, and Diane Sawyer.
“I’m told they know if they’re in a picture with Meghan, it’s a tacit approval of her that she can use to promote herself. Meghan can show up at events where they are at and move into their neighborhood but they are not friends,” the anonymous insider told the entertainment news outlet.
According to the informants, the backlash is a devastating blow to the hopes of the Sussexes. “Perhaps if Meghan demonstrates some humility and genuine kindness and isn’t always so self-serving, she might find herself embraced rather than barely tolerated,” another tipster shared.
“She thought marrying a prince would make her a somebody, but she’s being seen as manipulative and scheming and trying too hard to be likable,” the palace insider added.
The snobby duchess has severed her relationship with her father, Thomas Markle, who is 80 years old, and has refused to allow him to visit his grandkids. Additionally, it has been stated that Meghan, along with Harry, is restricting the children's interaction with Charles until he complies with their requests.
“No wonder celebrities appear wary of getting too close. Reputations are everything in Hollywood. “Gwyneth Paltrow recently posted a supportive message to Catherine, Princess of Wales, so it’s clear where the lines are drawn,” the mole shared.
“William and Kate are IN and Harry and Meghan are OUT! [King Charles] has more important things to be focused on than a spoiled brat son who made his bed and now won’t lie in it. He feels Harry — and Meghan — started this circus because they wanted their privacy, but all they’ve done is publicly betray, humiliate and lie about the royal family. “I’m told there is complete silence now between him and Harry,” the palace courtier stated.
According to reports, the split has only become more severe as a result of Prince Harry’s desperate desire to ensure the safety of his family while they are in England.
“He’s officially announced he’s an American resident now and yet he wants his father to reinstate preferential treatment when he visits England because it’s too dangerous. They took an unofficial ‘royal’ tour of Nigeria earlier this year and now they’re headed to Colombia, which has one of the highest murder rates in the world. “Whatever’s Harry’s game, the king has decided he doesn’t want to play and silence is his best defense — just like the celebrities who don’t want to be part of the Sussexes’ fame-obsessed script,” the palace courtier stated.
Business Times has reached out to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for comments.
