Elton John, the iconic musician with a vast network of famous friends, including royalty, has recently found himself at odds with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Despite their previous friendship, it seems that the Sussexes have been using Elton for their own PR purposes and even for free travel on his private jet.

As Elton completes his final tour, the couple took to social media to wish him well, but their message may not be as genuine as it appears.

It comes as no surprise that Meghan, known for her tendency to take the lead and speak the most, was the one who initiated the video message.

However, it is unlikely that she spends much time with Elton, and their connection may be more transactional than personal.

Her motivation for filming the message could be twofold: to maintain access to the private jet and to bask in the limelight, which she undeniably enjoys.

On the other hand, Prince Harry has known Elton his entire life, thanks to his close friendship with Princess Diana.

Harry also had interactions with Elton’s husband, David Furnish, and even mingled with Prince Charles.

However, keen observers have noted that Harry appeared uncomfortable in the video, while Meghan seemed to be closely watching their body language.

She leaned her head on Harry’s shoulder, further exacerbating his unease.

According to insider sources, the fallout between Elton and the Sussexes has led to Meghan’s exclusion from any upcoming Oscar parties.

The real reason behind this rift is quite shocking.

It seems that Harry and Meghan, who are notorious for enjoying freebies, may have insulted Elton by suggesting that their friendship was solely for the sake of PR and air miles.

Rumor has it that Elton, perhaps influenced by remnants of his drug-induced paranoia, had bugs installed in his private jet.

This allegation has added fuel to the fire, causing further strain on their relationship.

In Harry’s memoir, he recounts a tense disagreement that took place during a vacation at Elton’s home in France.

While expressing gratitude to other celebrity friends like Chris Martin and James Corden, Harry noticeably omits any mention of Elton.

Despite being mentioned multiple times in the book, Elton is excluded from the acknowledgments section, indicating a falling out between the once-close friends.

Harry reveals details of the holiday dispute and a refusal by Elton to perform a song.

During the vacation, Harry and Meghan went on a scooter ride with Elton’s husband, David Furnish, and witnessed the undeniable resemblance between their son Archie and Princess Diana.

Harry describes how Elton would often gaze at Archie’s face, a clear reminder of his son’s connection to Diana.

However, tensions arose on the final night when Harry congratulated Elton on finishing his memoir, only to discover that it would be serialized in the Daily Mail—a newspaper known for causing misery in Harry’s life.

The Duke confronted Elton about this choice, expressing his disappointment, but Elton simply stated that he wanted people to read it.

The exchange became increasingly tense, with Harry reminding Elton of past lies printed by the Daily Mail.

It was revealed that Elton had accepted a £100,000 payment from the publication, leaving Harry disheartened and unable to push the matter further.

Despite the conflict, Harry emphasizes his enduring love for Elton and his desire to protect their friendship.

The fallout between Elton John and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has shed light on the complexities of their relationship.

While the Sussexes may have used Elton for their own gain, it is clear that there were deeper underlying issues that led to their falling out.

As the details continue to unfold, it remains to be seen whether this friendship can be salvaged or if it is destined to remain a part of their tumultuous past.
