Meghan Markle’s once-promising Hollywood career has taken a significant hit, and this time, the drama involves none other than Kris Jenner, the formidable matriarch of the Kardashian clan.
According to reports from Closer UK, Meghan was flourishing alongside her fellow artists, but now finds herself on the periphery, largely due to troubles surrounding her Netflix deal.
Sources indicate that Kris has severed ties with Meghan without any prior warning, adding yet another layer of complexity to an already tumultuous period for both Meghan and Prince Harry.
The couple recently returned from a tour of Colombia, which was intended to bolster their public image.
Instead, it raised eyebrows about the potential risks their actions pose to the monarchy.
To make matters worse, upon arriving back at their Montecito residence, they were hit with the news that Netflix might not renew their lucrative multi-million dollar contract once it expires next year.
This uncertainty looms large over the Sussexes, especially with Meghan’s much-anticipated cooking show now delayed until 2025 due to copyright issues.
As if the challenges couldn’t get any more daunting, last June saw the collapse of their £15 million Spotify contract, a partnership that once promised to be a golden ticket in Hollywood.
Now, Harry and Meghan find themselves scrambling for new income sources as their connections begin to dwindle.
The fallout from their relationship with Kris Jenner is particularly striking; insiders suggest that while she hasn’t completely cut ties, her enthusiasm for their endeavors has significantly waned.
Once part of Meghan’s close-knit circle, Kris Jenner seems to have pulled back, leaving the Sussexes out of the exclusive events they used to attend.
This shift follows Meghan’s brief foray into the Kardashian universe, which gained attention after her much-publicized interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this year.
The Sussexes had briefly enjoyed access to Hollywood’s elite, mingling with influential figures like Gayle King and the Obamas.
Despite her high hopes for her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, Meghan has seen little in the way of celebrity endorsements.
Model Chrissy Teigen, who once championed her brand, has also stepped back.
Meanwhile, Kris Jenner appears to have cooled towards Meghan’s ventures, further isolating her from the social scene she once navigated with ease.
Interestingly, Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, seems to be faring better in the networking department, connecting with notable figures like Tina Knowles and even Kris Jenner herself.
However, despite Doria’s efforts to bridge gaps, Kris remains unimpressed by the Sussexes’ declining star power.
Insiders suggest that this dwindling popularity could be a key reason behind Kris’s decision to distance herself from Meghan.
It raises the question: Is Kris pulling away due to the Sussexes’ recent struggles in public perception, as reflected in lackluster opinion polls?
Once charmed by Meghan’s charisma, Kris now seems to prioritize her many other responsibilities over maintaining a close relationship with the couple.
Ironically, Meghan, who once aimed for high-profile political connections, now faces the humiliation of being sidelined even by reality TV stars.
The Kardashians, once thought to be allies, are now turning their backs as Meghan’s star fades.
Despite these setbacks, reports indicate that Meghan is determined to keep the lines of communication open with Kris Jenner.
She hopes that as her brand gains traction, interest from influential figures like Kris will rekindle.
