LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Is Meghan Markle getting snubbed by fellow celebrities? Well, if reports are to be believed, some of the most influential celebrity entrepreneurs allegedly avoided getting photographed along with the Duchess of Sussex.

According to a report by NewsNations’ Paula Froelich, the former ‘Suits’ actress was recently in the Hamptons for a women’s business summit hosted by power broker Amy Griffin.

Per the New York Post, celebrities like Diane Sawyer, Gwyneth Paltrow and Reese Witherspoon also attended the G9 Ventures Summer Summit.

The mother-of-two was even photographed with the makeup mogul Bobbi Brown and fashion designer Misha Nonoo.

Curiously enough, as Froelich reported in NewsNation, Meghan was not photographed with the top brass of Hollywood royalty including Paltrow, Witherspoon, and Sawyer, who were also in attendance.

A source shared with the outlet per New York Post, “They know that if they are in a picture with [Meghan] it is a tacit approval of her that she can use to promote herself.”

The source added, “Meghan can show up at events where they are at, move into their neighborhood…but they are not friends.”

The Duchess, who is gearing up for the official launch of her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, flew to join the one-day summit from Santa Barbara, California, with entrepreneur Jamie Kern Lima.

 

Prince Harry feels guilty for making Meghan Markle miss Hollywood

The Hollywood stars’ alleged snubbing came just after it was speculated that Prince Harry felt “guilty” over his wife sacrificing her Hollywood dreams to join the royal family.

One of the sources recently told OK! Magazine, “Meghan has made no secret of how much she misses her carefree life when she was an actress,”

They shared that though Meghan cherishes her family life with Harry and their two children, she still misses Hollywood.

“While she’d never change what she has with Harry and the kids, there is a big part of her that she wishes she could just get her old life back,” said the source about Meghan who played Rachel Zane in ‘Suits’.

Citing the Duke of Sussex’s feelings, they said, “Harry often feels guilty for Meghan having to give up on her dream life, and he knows how much she sacrificed to marry him and have a family with him, so he will support her no matter what.”

Nevertheless, they noted, “She has quite a few work commitments coming up, but this is just the beginning of Meghan’s big comeback, and she’ll be doing things on her terms.”

They added, “She loved being in Suits and all the opportunities it gave her — she’d get invited to all the exclusive events and get to hang out with Hollywood A-listers but there was so much less scrutiny and attention and there was no pressure on her.”
