Years ago, during her acting days, Meghan Markle frequently shared stories about her closest friends on her blog, The Tig.
Among them were celebrities she had met at showbiz events and parties, some of whom she considered soulmates.
Over time, her circle of companions expanded to include fashion designers, socialites, and advocates for various causes.
Notably, she formed a bond with David and Victoria Beckham, who even attended her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018.
However, it appears that their friendship has faded away.
In a reciprocal gesture, Meghan and Harry were notably absent from the wedding of the Beckhams’ son, Brooklyn, to American heiress Nicola Peltz in April of last year.
Furthermore, the Sussexes were not in attendance at one of the most prominent celebrity events of the year, when Lionel Messi made his debut for David’s Inter-Miami football team.
The VIP boxes were filled with A-listers like Kim Kardashian and Serena Williams, but the Harkles were nowhere to be seen.
According to a source close to the Beckhams, David and Victoria did attend Meghan and Harry’s wedding.
The couples had bonded through a mutual friend, Izzy May, who served as David Beckham’s communications director.
Izzy was friends with Marcus Anderson, the chief membership officer for the exclusive Soho House social club, who played a role in arranging secret dates between Meghan and Harry.
The idea of secret dates is quite amusing, as Izzy May undoubtedly knows all of Meghan and Marcus’s secrets.
There have been rumors circulating that Meghan was under the influence of drugs when she attended the Invictus Games with Marcus in 2016.
Observant viewers of the games noticed that Meghan was seated just ten people away from Prince Harry and Melania Trump.
While Harry sat among officials and dignitaries, Meghan was at the opposite end of the aisle, with wide eyes, a tense expression, and a rigid jaw.
Some speculate that Meghan appeared to be under the influence of drugs, drawing comparisons to her younger days when she dabbled in substances.
The 2016 Invictus Games seem to be a particular point of interest, as Meghan’s behavior there raised eyebrows.
She exhibited signs of having taken Mandy or Molly, which are stimulant and psychedelic drugs commonly known as ecstasy.
These substances are typically associated with party environments, such as clubs.
Additionally, there are reports suggesting that Meghan used illegal substances during the opening of Istanbul’s Soho House in 2015.
At the time, she was listed as a guest, unlike the other singers and actors in attendance.
It seems that Meghan’s attempts to gain access to exclusive events did not always go as planned.
For instance, she tried to gatecrash a party attended by King Charles and Harry during the opening of Soho House in Istanbul.
However, the tight security around them prevented her from succeeding.
Nonetheless, Meghan became more skilled in maneuvering such situations by May 2016, when Harry was at Soho House in Toronto.
It was during this encounter that she allegedly met him for the first time, passing him her phone number.
They later met up at his hotel, although this remains speculative.
