Meghan claims she doesn\u2019t need friends<\/p>\n

They live in the heart of LA, surrounded by people and celebrities in all directions \u2013 but it seems Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle are more alone than ever. The couple are said to have been losing friends left and right in recent months, after a series of embarrassing professional disasters and a public clash with former besties, David and Victoria Beckham. In fact, Closer\u2019s insiders say the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have become \u201cradioactive\u201d in Tinseltown, with the former actress insisting to anyone who\u2019ll listen that they don\u2019t need friends anyway\u2026 <\/p>\n
\u201cThe Sussexes are being shunned in Hollywood and beyond right now,\u201d says an insider close to the pair, who live with their two children, Archie, four and LIlibet, two, in a $15million mansion in Montecito, close to celebrity neighbours that include Jennifer Aniston, Oprah Winfrey, Ariana Grande and Arnold Schwarzenegger. \u201cIt seems to have happened almost overnight. They\u2019ve gone from highly sociable, outgoing people to serious lone rangers. It\u2019s so strange for them to suddenly be so radioactive with the A-list, but Meghan\u2019s putting a positive spin on things by insisting they don\u2019t need to have friends to be happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meghan has told Harry that is them against the world<\/p>\n

It follows the resurgence of news that the Sussexes have fallen out with David and Victoria Beckham after a past heated phone call. Former England captain \u2013 and once good friend of Harry\u2019s \u2013 was said to be \u201cabsolutely bloody furious\u201d when Meghan suggested the former Spice Girl had leaked stories to the tabloids about her. An irate source close to the fashion designer insisted, \u201cAny making up now is so unlikely.\u201d The Beckhams have been friends with Harry and Meghan for many years now and were just two in a sea of famous faces at the couple\u2019s star-studded wedding back in 2018. The guestlist included the likes of Elton John, Priyanka Chopra, George and Amal Clooney, Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, James Corden, Carey Mulligan, Serena Williams and Oprah. But many of these relationships have reportedly cooled since the couple quit royal duties and embarked on their anti-monarchy campaign, which included their Netflix docu-series, Harry & Meghan, and the prince\u2019s bombshell memoir, Spare. A source last week revealed that George and Amal are \u201cno longer pals\u201d with the pair, while Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are, \u201cnow closer to King Charles.\u201d There have also been whispers that things have deteriorated with talkshow host, Oprah, after it was claimed in February that \u201cthe relationship between the neighbours has become fraught\u201d. The 69-year-old was once their closest ally, with the pair giving her their first tell-all interview in March 2021, revealing tension with the royals and accusing an unnamed relation of racially-charged comments.<\/p>\n

The Beckhams were furious at reports they had leaked stories about the Sussexes<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
It’s not the first time the pair have accused those closest to them of leaking stories. In Spare, Harry claims his family were all at it \u2013 particularly his stepmother, Queen Camilla. He wrote that she often left \u201cbodies in the street\u201d with her press briefings, claiming she \u201csacrificed me on her personal PR altar.\u201d Our insider explains, \u201cThere\u2019s a level of paranoia when it comes to their friends and who they can and can\u2019t trust. They\u2019ve sabotaged relationships and friendships like the one they had with the Beckhams, because they struggle to trust anyone. Meghan spends a lot of her time with a neighbour, Victoria Jackson but that\u2019s it. It\u2019s hardly the star-studded circle of pals she envisioned hanging out with when she met Prince Harry.\u201d As Closer has previously reported, Harry, 38, and Meghan, 41, had hoped for a fresh start in the US, setting their sights on befriending the A-list elite when they moved to Montecito in 2020. But things haven\u2019t exactly gone to plan. We\u2019re told, \u201cWhen they first got to Hollywood, they were embraced and celebrated by the who\u2019s who, it all seemed so perfect. Meghan was planning to host garden parties and dinners with Montecito\u2019s finest; she was confident they\u2019d by rubbing shoulders on a regular basis with the likes of George Clooney, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Cameron Diaz. But it quickly became obvious they weren\u2019t interested \u2013 and now even lesser celebs like Ellen DeGeneres and Katharine McPhee are backing off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Relations between Oprah and the Sussexes are said to have cooled down<\/p>\n

The drop in their social status seems to have coincided with their recent professional downward spiral. Following the revelation that Spotify have ditched their $25million deal with the couple \u2013 as a network exec branded them \u201cfucking grifters\u201d \u2013 there has been blow after blow. Top Hollywood talent agent CEO Jeremy Zimmer denounced the actress publicly, saying “Meghan Markle was not a great audio talent, or necessarily any kind of talent\u2026 Just because you’re famous doesn’t make you great at something.” The Sussexes were left fuming yet again in recent weeks, when their six-part series, Harry & Meghan was snubbed by the Emmys awards, receiving no nominations. Our source continues, \u201cThey\u2019ve been licking their wounds after everything that\u2019s happened, but Meghan\u2019s determined she\u2019s never going to let people see her sweat. She\u2019s used to making adjustments to her plan, and now says they\u2019ve given up trying to schmooze the A-listers. Instead they\u2019re narrowing their circle of friends down to a core group of people they totally trust \u2013 but many are business acquaintances or spiritual advisors rather than actual friends. It\u2019s a total shift in strategy from where they were just a few months ago, when Meghan was taking every meeting possible, in the hopes of joining the Hollywood elite. She\u2019s now trying to spin this like it\u2019s all her choice, and telling people they have to keep their circle super small because there were too many information leaks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meghan and Harry loving life on the red carpet<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
And friends say Harry is doing as he\u2019s told. \u201cTo be honest, he\u2019s pretty bored and frustrated to be living like a hermit,\u201d says the insider. \u201cBut he also knows it\u2019s not like he or Meghan have any real choice. They\u2019re on the same page publicly, and he\u2019s been saying he\u2019s not the least bit interested in kissing up to these Hollywood types anymore. He\u2019s gone so far as to throw a charity event on the other side of the world in Singapore, just to avoid Hollywood! Knowing how proud Harry is, this could be about him thumbing his nose at his neighbours, but it\u2019s also a chance to get out of town and have some fun. Of course, Harry loves being a dad and a husband but no doubt he also misses having a social life. Being ostracised like this is extra hard on him because he\u2019s always been so popular. But he won\u2019t be begging for anyone\u2019s friendship, and neither will Meghan.\u201d<\/p>\n
