Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have encountered various circles throughout their time together, including the acting world, royal cliques, and the philanthropy circuit.
However, there is one group that continues to elude them – Hollywood’s A-list inner circle.
Despite their hopes of becoming part of the elite with friends like Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, the Spielbergs, the Obamas, and the Clooneys, they have been unable to make inroads.
It seems that the invites they anticipated when they relocated to California have not materialized, leaving them feeling quite isolated.
The latest event that Harry and Meghan missed out on was Leonardo DiCaprio’s 48th birthday party.
The renowned actor celebrated his special day surrounded by dozens of famous friends at a private mansion party in Beverly Hills.
A-listers such as Tobey Maguire, Bradley Cooper, Kate Hudson, Rami Malek, Ashton Kutcher, Mick Jagger, Jamie Foxx, and LeBron James were in attendance.
Other notable guests included Adrian Brody, Casey Affleck, Kaley Cowan, Stella Maxwell, Nikki Hilton, Rebel Wilson, Ramona Aguiluma, Evan Ross, Summer Ray, and James’ agent Rich Paul.
Unfortunately, once again, Harry and Meghan were nowhere to be seen.
According to a source, the party was a grand affair with music, drinks, and catered food, and everyone appeared to have a fantastic time.
This absence from the A-list Hollywood scene is surprising considering Meghan Markle’s previous acting career and her marriage to Prince Harry.
Some have even speculated that she may have used her wedding to secure a place within Hollywood’s inner circle.
Claims of their desperate desire for attention and jobs only add fuel to the fire.
One particular incident that garnered significant attention was when Harry approached Disney’s former head, Robert Iger, asking him to give Meghan a job.
The cameras captured the awkward moment, followed by Meghan’s attempt to greet Beyonce and Jay-Z without appearing starstruck.
These instances exemplify the Markles’ ambition to move up the social ladder, sometimes coming across as shameless and oblivious.
Royal expert Tom Bauer has supported the notion that Meghan may have used her wedding to elevate her status in Hollywood.
He revealed that Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle, claimed to know people at the wedding better than Meghan herself because he had worked with them in the industry.
Thomas, an Emmy-winning lighting director, likely played a role in securing Meghan’s first credit as a background actor on ABC’s General Hospital.
Despite his contributions, he has been treated poorly and expects his next encounter with his daughter to be in a courtroom.
Bauer further disclosed that Meghan had only briefly met Oprah and George Clooney, dispelling rumors of close friendships.
Additionally, it has been reported that Harry’s friends were welcomed to the wedding ceremony but not the after reception, as Oprah and George required seating.
Bauer suggested that Meghan strategically used her wedding to pave the way for a future career in Hollywood.
However, it remains to be seen how successful these endeavors will be for the couple.
In conclusion, Harry and Meghan have struggled to penetrate Hollywood’s A-list inner circle, despite their aspirations and connections.
Their absence from events such as Leonardo DiCaprio’s birthday party raises questions about their standing in the industry.
While speculations regarding Meghan’s motives may hold some truth, only time will tell if their efforts to establish themselves in Hollywood will bear fruit.
