Rihanna, the Barbadian sensation, threw a birthday bash that set tongues wagging to mark her 36th year.

The exclusive event was hosted by none other than WME.

However, there was a surprising absence on the guest list – none other than Meghan Markle herself.

Picture this: Milan, past midnight.

Rihanna, the birthday queen, adorned in a tiara, made a grand exit with A$AP Rocky and their children, exuding a sense of pop royalty.

But where was Meghan Markle during all this glitz and glamour?

Certainly not in Milan.

The guest list comprised 30 of Hollywood’s elite, the crème de la crème, with everyone who is anyone present, except for Meghan.

Rihanna deliberately chose a conscious uncoupling, Hollywood style, by omitting Meghan from this star-studded extravaganza, which was a constellation of A-listers from W’s clientele.

Their names alone would leave even the most composed starstruck.

In this dazzling galaxy, Meghan’s absence was stark, akin to a discordant note in an opera.

Let’s rewind to 2016 when Prince Harry and Rihanna shared smiles in Barbados, sparking rumors that spread like wildfire.

However, fast forward to the present day, and it appears that the only thing fading faster than those rumors is Harry and Meghan’s presence at A-list gatherings.

While Meghan possibly pondered over her missing invitation, Prince Harry was busy making headlines of his own.

Rumor has it that Harry is eager to return to royal duties, although the timing seems less than ideal, or perhaps just wishful thinking.

Ingrid Seward, a straightforward royal biographer, dismissed the notion of Harry seamlessly reentering royal life, emphasizing that he cannot simply waltz back in.

With Prince Harry and Meghan’s candid interviews and the unflattering Netflix series, “The Bridge,” the path back to Buckingham Palace seems not just scorched but completely obliterated.

As Rihanna’s party continued well into the early hours, a stark reality emerged in the glitzy realm of showbiz and royal entanglements – fairness does not always prevail in matters of love and war.

For Meghan and Harry, the once-flowing stream of party invitations and royal receptions now runs dry quicker than a parched California summer.

Speculation surrounding Meghan’s relationship with WME escalated after the relaunch of their business and charitable ventures under the new Sussex.com website.

Royal expert Angela Levin pointed out that Meghan’s name was notably absent from the talent agency’s website, raising questions about a potential quiet departure.

Fans speculated on social media about the reasons behind this move, with some suggesting that associating with Meghan could be detrimental socially and professionally.

Meghan has been facing challenges in rebuilding her acting career since stepping back from the royal family in 2020.

Reports surfaced indicating that Meghan lost a lucrative contract to “The Crown” actress Meg Bellamy due to escalating tensions with senior royals.

Despite Meghan’s efforts to secure profitable deals, her involvement in controversies against the royal family has seemingly thwarted her progress.
