Meghan Markle found herself in the spotlight once again as she reportedly celebrated her 42nd birthday a few days ago amidst a noticeable absence of well-wishes from her circle of rich and famous friends.
A thorough search through Instagram profiles revealed a surprising lack of birthday greetings from the likes of Princess Eugenie, Serena Williams, Elton John, Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi, Janina Gavankar, Gwyneth Paltrow, Nacho Figueras, Delfina Blaquier, as well as others in her social circle.
Meanwhile, the attention seemed to have shifted to another birthday celebration, one that caught the eye of many – Barack Obama’s 62nd birthday bash.
The former President reportedly enjoyed a cozy gathering with close family and friends on August 4th, with notable personalities like Tyler Perry in attendance.
Speculations arose regarding Meghan Markle’s standing within her inner circle, especially as it was noted that Ellen DeGeneres and Tyler Perry took the time to honor Obama on his special day, overshadowing any acknowledgment of Meghan’s birthday.
Tyler Perry further fueled speculation with an Instagram post on July 24th, alluding to individuals who thrive on negativity and drama.
Fans speculated that the post may have been directed at Meghan Markle, given her perceived association with Tyler Perry for personal gain.
The dynamics of the friendship between Prince Harry, Meghan, and the Obamas also came into question following reports of the couple’s exclusion from Barack Obama’s recent birthday festivities.
Reports emerged suggesting that Meghan had planned an extravagant birthday celebration, allegedly to be organized by celebrity party planner Colin Cowie, known for his work with high-profile figures like Oprah Winfrey.
However, plans for Meghan’s birthday extravaganza seemed to have been derailed as prominent guests opted to attend Obama’s birthday party instead, indicating a shift in priorities within Meghan’s social circle.
The decision to exclude the Sussexes from Obama’s birthday event was attributed to the Obamas’ perception that Meghan and Harry were leveraging their association for personal gain.
This rationale was further supported by Michelle and Barack Obama’s stance on not advising the Sussexes during the Megxit period in 2020, as shared with People magazine.
The guest list for Obama’s birthday celebration underscored a distinction between those who stand independently, like Oprah, Tyler Perry, and Ava DuVernay, and those perceived to ride on the coattails of others.
The implications of the perceived snub from the Obama birthday bash likely resonated with Meghan, known for her desire to cultivate relationships with influential figures.
Despite past expressions of support from the Obamas, including Michelle Obama’s public displays of solidarity with the royal family, recent events have cast a shadow on the dynamics between the two camps.
Michelle Obama’s neutral stance following the Oprah interview and her remarks on public service have sparked speculations about underlying tensions and perceptions surrounding the Sussexes’ actions and motivations.
