Tom Cruise has reportedly shown his support for Prince William and Kate Middleton, while expressing his dismay over the actions of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
According to a source, the actor was taken aback by the behavior of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, particularly their constant presence in the media and their televised revelations earlier this year.
The 60-year-old actor has been closely monitoring the developments surrounding Harry and Meghan, and is said to be surprised by the entire situation.
Initially, Cruise held a high regard for Meghan and even considered casting her in one of his projects.
However, any potential collaboration between them is now said to be off the table, as per an insider.
Reports suggest that tensions arose when Tom Cruise was spotted socializing with Prince William and Kate Middleton at a premiere event in May.
An insider claimed that Cruise is just one of the many influential figures who have distanced themselves from Meghan and Harry, implying that the royal couple may harbor feelings of jealousy towards the Hollywood connections they missed out on.
Prior to her passing on September 8, the beloved Hollywood star had also shared a warm relationship with Queen Elizabeth.
Sources revealed that the Queen expressed her disappointment at not meeting Cruise during a previous event, leading to a special tour of Windsor Castle being arranged for him.
The two shared tea and lunch, with Cruise later praising the monarch’s dignity and historic accomplishments during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June.
In a separate development, it has been reported that during the upcoming Christmas season, Prince Charles, Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton will make a public appearance together, seemingly in contrast to Harry and Meghan’s activities.
On the day when the second part of the Harry and Meghan documentary premieres on Netflix, the royal family is set to display unity by attending a special Carol service at Westminster Abbey.
The service, known as “Together at Christmas,” will see the senior royals joining Prince William and Kate in central London.
Last year’s attendees included Princess Beatrice, Zara Tindall, and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, along with Kate’s immediate family.
This year’s service is expected to emphasize the importance of human connection and community support, echoing the values championed by Queen Elizabeth II throughout her life.
Kensington Palace has announced that the service will pay tribute to the late Queen’s dedication to duty, empathy, faith, service, kindness, and compassion.
Representatives from organizations supported by Queen Elizabeth will be present at the event, highlighting their selfless contributions to society.
The gathering aims to honor the legacy of Queen Elizabeth II and celebrate the enduring principles she embodied.
