The name Michael Rubin has been making headlines recently, following a star-studded July 4th party at his Hamptons estate.
Several celebrities took to social media to share their experiences at the event, giving fans a glimpse inside this iconic celebration.
In a video shared on Twitter by Rubin himself, attendees were treated to clips of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck posing for pictures, as well as James Corden, former host of The Late Late Show and friend of Prince Harry, arriving with his friends.
Other notable guests included Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Justin Bieber, making it one of the most extravagant parties ever seen.
However, one couple was noticeably absent from the festivities – the Sussexes.
Their absence has led to them being mocked for not attending this star-studded affair.
Interestingly, Beyoncé, who is said to be close to Meghan, brushed off questions about the royal couple’s absence.
When asked by reporters, she simply replied, “I think she suits the yacht party better.”
This response has sparked rumors of a strained friendship between Beyoncé and Meghan, with the former suggesting that she can no longer continue their friendship if Meghan is not interested in Hollywood.
According to the book “Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown” by royal reporter Valentine Lopain, Meghan had aspirations of becoming the Beyoncé of the UK after marrying into the royal family.
However, her misconceptions about royal life and the subsequent realization of the limitations imposed upon her made her miserable.
It is claimed that Meghan distanced herself from Buckingham Palace and even bullied royal staffers.
This discontent ultimately led to Harry and Meghan feeling cornered, misunderstood, and deeply unhappy within the institution.
Returning to the party, it is worth noting that one couple’s attire caused quite a stir.
Initially, their names were on the guest list, but they decided to wear white in accordance with the party’s theme.
When a female guest inquired about wearing red or black, the party host, Michael Rubin, became angry and promptly withdrew her invitation.
Many fans have speculated that this couple was none other than Meghan Markle and Prince Harry themselves.
This incident reminded me of a story involving Hollywood icons Clark Gable and Carol Lombard back in the 1930s.
They hosted the Mayfair Ball, where all the women were expected to wear white.
However, one daring guest, Norma Shiro, arrived in a flaming red dress.
Lombard remarked loudly, “Who does Norma think she is, the house madam?”
This anecdote serves as a humorous parallel to the situation at Rubin’s party, which was exclusively attended by the crème de la crème of sports and entertainment.
While Harry and Meghan may be wealthy, they are not on the same level as 90% of the guest list and lack long-term success.
Additionally, they seem to struggle in environments where they are not the center of attention.
It is evident that the Sussexes’ decision to step back from royal duties has resulted in them becoming the main attraction at events within their new social circle.
However, their absence from Rubin’s party has raised questions about their standing among the elite.
Despite the speculation and rumors surrounding their relationship with other celebrities, only time will tell how Harry and Meghan navigate their newfound freedom and continue to forge their own path.
