In a recent turn of events, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have once again found themselves excluded from a star-studded gathering.
This time, it was billionaire Michael Rubin’s extravagant 4th of July bash that the couple missed out on.
The snub became evident when actress Kristen Bell shared an Instagram slideshow documenting her vacation in Idaho with her husband, Dax Shepard, and their two daughters, Delta and Lincoln.
The slideshow predominantly featured heartwarming family moments against the backdrop of Idaho’s scenic landscapes.
However, it was the third photo that caught everyone’s attention.
The image showcased a long outdoor table adorned with famous faces, including Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, John Mulaney, Adam Scott, and Jason Bateman.
Notably, The Tonight Show host, Jimmy Fallon, and CNN anchor Jake Tapper were also present.
It was a gathering that undoubtedly intrigued the Sussexes, but unfortunately, they were not invited.
Netflix editorial staffer Cole Dilbeck shared the photo on Twitter, captioning it with, “This photo from Kristen Bell’s dinner party gets increasingly WTF as you go down the table.”
The guest list for Bell’s vacation dinner party left many perplexed and sparked humorous reactions online.
One comment read, “Kristen Bell’s guest list is making my brain combust like, What the?”
Meanwhile, others took the opportunity to poke fun at Harry and Meghan for their exclusion from the A-list event.
Critics seized the opportunity to mock Meghan, suggesting that her absence was a blessing in disguise.
They speculated that her presence would have been marked by pretentiousness and an insincere demeanor.
One commenter stated, “Her fakeness, her silly, seductive, oh-so-saintly act would be even more obvious.
It’d be embarrassing for whoever she spoke to, and it would have ruined everything if they’d been there.
I’m relieved for everyone that they weren’t.”
Another added, “The guests look genuinely happy,” implying that the absence of the Sussexes contributed to the positive atmosphere.
Further remarks emphasized Meghan’s alleged penchant for control and attention-seeking behavior.
Imagining her presence, one person suggested she would disrupt the dress code with an outlandish outfit and demand a personalized seating plan and menu modifications.
They continued, “She’d bore people witless, talking about Argentina and a dish soap commercial.
She’d control what jokes they’re allowed to tell and what they’re allowed to talk about.”
The commenter also speculated that Meghan would insist on Harry’s invitation, arrive with an entourage of SUVs and security, and prohibit the use of phones at the table.
The conversation took a more critical turn, insinuating that Meghan would exploit the event for personal gain.
The commenter painted a picture of her hugging women, kissing men, and leaving her bright red lipstick marks as if they were her possessions.
They accused her of collecting gossip to be used in future articles or perhaps even another book.
Furthermore, they alleged that Meghan would fabricate conversations and report false statements, all while making demands for film roles, commercial deals, and the use of private jets and holiday homes.
Although Meghan and Harry missed out on this star-studded affair, it is clear that their absence did not dampen the spirits of the guests present.
The photo captured a genuinely joyful atmosphere, free from any overbearing presence.
Despite the snub, the Sussexes continue to make their mark on the world, charting their own path beyond the glitz and glamour of celebrity gatherings.
