A blossoming friendship between Meghan Markle and Jennifer Aniston seems to be on the horizon, according to The Mirror.
The Hollywood superstar recently acquired a massive property in the same star-studded area where the Sussexes reside.
Notable celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Ellen DeGeneres, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, and Ariana Grande also own properties in this affluent neighborhood.
It appears that Jennifer is eagerly looking forward to the move and the opportunity to meet the Sussexes, and it seems the feeling is mutual.
An insider revealed to Heat magazine that Jennifer is a big fan of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
She has heard wonderful things about them from Oprah and other mutual acquaintances.
The source added that the royal couple will be invited to the morning show star’s housewarming party.
Jennifer hopes to spend quality time with Harry and Meghan at dinner parties and also wishes to reconnect with Oprah, who famously conducted the bombshell interview with the couple about their experiences with the royal family before their move to California.
The source stated that both Jennifer and Meghan are genuinely excited to see each other and explore the possibility of building a meaningful friendship.
However, some royal fans express doubts about this potential friendship.
One skeptic commented, “What a weird story.
Jennifer Aniston has always been known to have a tight-knit group of friends she’s had since pre-‘Friends’ fame.
Even her celebrity friendships are low-key.
That article made her sound like a social climber.”
Another person added, “I doubt it.
Jen is very private, and as the Spectator article said, no one wants to talk to the leaky duo because they leak but also because they have a very loose relationship with the truth.”
A third individual raised concerns, stating, “Shouldn’t Jennifer Aniston be freaking out by now?
Imagine you’re just about to move into a nice new neighborhood, and then you read online that the local crackpot is already claiming you as a bestie.”
A fourth person pointed out, “Thankfully, Jen’s well aware of narcs.
Her husband was drawn in by one well and proper.
Her mother also one.
Jen won’t be fooled by a mid-ranger like Meghan.”
According to New Idea, Jennifer reportedly has a longstanding dislike for Meghan Markle, and their rift dates back nine years.
An insider revealed that Meghan had envisioned a friendship with Aniston when they worked together on a comedy film, but unfortunately, Meghan’s scene was significantly cut down to just 30 seconds.
This left Meghan disappointed and disheartened.
The source went on to say that Meghan bad-mouthed the film and its stars after learning about the editing decisions.
As a newcomer in the industry, Meghan apparently felt motivated to prove herself as good as Jennifer.
However, some viewed her sentiments as sour grapes.
Meghan’s behavior allegedly reached Aniston, who subsequently rebuffed any attempts from Prince Harry’s wife to hang out when the Sussexes moved to Los Angeles.
Sources claim that Aniston has always been suspicious of Meghan’s motives, especially when rumors circulated that the former actress had aspirations of becoming the next Mrs. Brad Pitt years ago.
Last year, Meghan reportedly felt upset over Jennifer Aniston’s award.
She was disappointed and hurt that the Oprah interview lost to HBO Max’s “Friends: The Reunion” at the People’s Choice Awards.
Meghan Markle seemingly believed that her return to Hollywood as a duchess would enable her to surpass the likes of Jennifer Aniston in the industry’s hierarchy.
The insider stated that Aniston’s profile remains higher than Meghan’s, which further fueled the Duchess of Sussex’s fury.
