Meghan Markle ‘humiliated’ by fresh ‘rejection blow’ from Hollywood megastars, source says

Meghan Markle is said to have suffered a “pretty big blow” due to another Hollywood snub, as the Duchess of Sussex tries to rebuild some momentum in 2024.

According to one source, Meghan and Prince Harry have been “rejected” by Kris Jenner, not long after polls showed the popularity of the Sussexes declining.

The source claimed to Closer UK: “Kris has a lot on her plate, but ultimately people can’t help but wonder if she’s dropped them because she’s seen the disastrous opinion polls on the Sussexes.”

They added that following the reported block by Kris Jenner, Meghan has been left “humiliated”, as she initially had her reservations about working with the Kardashians.

This year has seen Harry and Meghan attempt to build up their brand with a series of projects including a cooking show, the Parents Network, and the launch of lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard.

On the impact of the snub, the source claimed: “No doubt they [Harry and Meghan] felt they were lowering their standards a little by associating with the Kardashians, so to end up being rejected by them is a pretty big blow.

“Meghan had eventually come around to the idea and was excited to be working with Kardashians…so it’s beyond humiliating for her to be tossed aside.”

Meanwhile, another source has come to the defence of Meghan over the yet-to-be-launched American Riviera Orchard lifestyle brand. They dismissed claims that the former actress was struggling to find a CEO, describing the rumours as “untrue”.

They added that the brand “will reflect everything that she loves — family, cooking, entertaining and home décor” and that Meghan was “excited about her latest, personal venture”.
