Royal expert Katie Nicholl is confused with the continuing absence of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from the A -list social scene. However the couple after moving to the US has built relationships within certain circles and their presence at high-profile events among A-listers has been less frequent . According to the expert this may be due to the lifestyle they aspire to lead in California, coupled with the likelihood that many people feel pressured to choose sides.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle frequent absence in A-listers
As per the Katie the couple still has a lot of Hollywood pals, “and actually, in Montecito, they’re able to do that The expert thinks that the couple still has a lot of Hollywood pals, .I’m sure there’s a whole plethora of VIP dinner parties that are taking place at theirs that we have no idea about.”she said
“Perhaps that is all part of their desire to live a life that is a bit more below the radar,” she explained on Vanity Fair’s Dynasty podcast. “One that doesn’t end up getting them papped or featured in all the celebrity magazines.”
Feeling pressured to pick sides
Prince Harry has a long list of royal friends along with Ellen DeGeneres, Katy Perry, and Orlando Bloom. However, according to Nicholl, the royal feud has majorly impacted his and Meghan’s circle of friends, with many likely feeling pressured to pick sides.
“I think the ties have been severed. I think there is a sense that, possibly, friends, close friends, society friends, [and] celebrity friends have sort of had to make a little bit of a choice.” She recalled “being told by someone at the palace there was this sense that you had to put your stake in one camp or the other.”
Prince Harry’s absence in his close friend’s wedding
The expert drew attention to the absence of Prince Harry For instance he wasn’t present in the wedding of his close friend,Hugh Grosvenor. His brother Prince William played an usher role in the wedding, while Harry was absent despite being invited. The expert suggested that the potential awkwardness of the brothers sharing the spotlight at such a high-profile event might have influenced the decision.
Harry “was basically asked to stand down from that wedding.” Why? “Because it would have been very awkward to have had the two brothers at a society wedding like that, together. So I think they probably have lost some friends in all of this.”
