Speculation has been buzzing about the potential addition of Meghan Markle to the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast, but it seems the current stars have overwhelmingly voted against her joining their ranks.
The idea of Markle becoming a part of the Bravo universe has been circulating since she and Prince Harry distanced themselves from royal duties and settled in Montecito, California with their children.
The whispers of Markle’s possible entry into the Beverly Hills franchise gained traction due to the fitting location and the high societal status that the show’s women typically embody.
Fans have even gone as far as starting a petition for Kris Jenner, a familiar name in Beverly Hills circles, to make an appearance on the series.
With notable figures like Denise Richards and Jenna Leons recently joining the Beverly Hills and New York shows, respectively, the realm of possibilities seems wide open.
In a candid moment during the Archetypes podcast finale, Markle revealed her admiration for the Real Housewives series, expressing her desire to appear on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live.
She shared her disappointment at not being able to secure a spot on the show, citing her genuine enthusiasm as a long-time fan.
However, it appears that the existing members of the Real Housewives community are not particularly welcoming towards the Duchess.
The recent controversy surrounding Meghan and Harry’s car chase prompted some Hollywood personalities to voice their disapproval of the couple’s actions.
Bethenny Frankel, a former star of The Real Housewives of New York City, criticized the couple for their dramatic attempt to evade paparazzi after attending an event in New York.
Frankel suggested that they could have handled the situation more discreetly by opting to stay at a hotel or seeking refuge in a restaurant.
Expressing her astonishment at the couple’s extreme measures, Frankel questioned why other high-profile celebrities like Taylor Swift or Beyoncé had not encountered similar issues with the paparazzi.
She urged Meghan and Harry to reconsider their approach, implying that their actions were alienating their supporters and potentially harming their public image.
Frankel concluded her remarks by suggesting that Meghan should consider embracing the role of a housewife and leveraging her notoriety to her advantage, especially in light of the challenges she has faced since departing from the royal family.
The businesswoman’s critique of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex extends beyond this recent incident, with Frankel previously calling out Prince Harry for his forthcoming memoir and criticizing the couple’s Netflix documentary series as uninspiring and motivated by financial gain.
The scrutiny surrounding Meghan and Harry’s actions continues to attract attention and commentary from various quarters, highlighting the complexities of their transition away from royal life.
Despite the allure of Hollywood and the intrigue of reality television, it seems that the Real Housewives franchise may not be the next chapter in Meghan Markle’s post-royal journey.
