The Kardashian Scandal And The Five-Car Pile-Up
According to reports, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s social circles are shrinking. Many experts also warn that a simple night with the Sussexes can become a PR pile-up. Hence, many stars would rather avoid it. There was a recent flashpoint for this concern during Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday party.
However, it has since become a cautionary tale for Hollywood’s elite. There was backlash after Kim and Kris posted photos of the royal couple at the star-studded party on Instagram. Critics in the UK called the appearance “disrespectful” because the party took place on Remembrance Day.
The couple faced outrage as the rest of the Royal Family were observing a sombre national occasion. Shortly after the controversy, the photos featuring the Sussexes were deleted from the Kardashians’ social media feeds. According to Variety correspondent Matt, this it the example of why established showbusiness figures are becoming nervous. He explained that a basic social invitation becomes a massive headline.
Hence, many celebrities do not like risking their own brand being caught in the couple’s drama. Also, this microcosm has been the reason many of them try to keep a safe distance. They try to avoid the inevitable media scrutiny that follows the couple.
Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Are Losing Their Reputation
For many the concern is not just about a single party. It is about the perceived toxic aftermath of any public interaction. According to insiders, if a birthday invite creates so much international controversy, then intimate friendships are seen as even higher risk.
Also, there has been a narrative that Meghan and Harry are difficult to work with or that make everything about themselves. Hence, this has taken a firm hold in Hollywood circles.
The couple’s representative called some of these criticisms “ridiculous.” Despite this, the negative press is impacting their guest list. There have been reports that major stars like Beyonce and Oprah Winfrey are also careful about their public ties to the duo.
