- – Why Harry and Meghan were being left off so many guest lists last year REVEALED
Piers Morgan‘s wife Celia Walden has blasted Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for ‘violating’ the Hollywood A-lister code, claiming the reason behind the couple’s cold shoulder from A-list friends is due to their ‘tendency to share’ and fellow celebrities ‘fear of failure.’
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reportedly lost many of their famous friendships this year including with Steven Spielberg, Rob Lowe, the Clooneys and more.
Walden believes this distancing is due two things the Hollywood elite fear the most – indiscretion and failure – something she thinks a close public relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan could bring right now.
According to Walden, not a month has gone by without Meghan and Harry getting an ‘A-list cold-shouldering’ which she believes is due to Hollywood elite’s fear of failure.
She explained in the Telegraph that some celebrities do not want to be associated with a couple that is publicly failing – referencing the couple’s long list of bad luck from their Spotify deal collapse, their Emmy nomination snub, and the decline in popularity of Prince Harry’s memoir ‘Spare.’
Referring to the Hollywood elite, she said: ‘Indeed, superstition around this is such that you only see the word mouthed by a certain sector, who are so terrified of ”catching it” that they would mask up around anyone associated with a recent flop, firing or faux pas if they could.
‘Although they would ideally never find themselves in the same room as that person again.’
She adds another reason the couple could be experiencing this distance from friends is the fear of indiscretion – a concern that being associated with Prince Harry and Meghan could be potentially damaging to their life and career.
Walden added: ‘Asked why Harry and Meghan were being left off so many guest lists last year, one LA source told The Spectator that it was partly down to their ”capacity to share.” Only Tinseltowners could call someone a ”blabbermouth” with such passive aggressive grace.’
She says that the couple has been known to reveal private information of those close to them – namely their tell-all Netflix biopic series ‘Harry & Meghan,’ and the contents in Prince Harry’s novel ‘Spare.’
According to Walden, Prince Harry detailed contents of their famous friends’ fridges in the novel, saying that Harry: ‘Told the world that he saw ‘mushroom chocolates’ in Courteney Cox’s fridge during a party at her house.’
Adding that this could add to the list of reasons why the couple ‘May not be top of many celebrities’ friendship lists.’
Others have also chimed in as to why they think couple is getting the cold shoulder. US producer Paula Froelich theorised that the couple is experiencing this ‘freeze-out’ due to business.
She says that ‘everyone’s got a movie to sell’ and if they want to be successful in London, they need to be in good graces of the royal family – which could be an issue when having a close relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan.
