Harry and Meghan ‘Now Totally Frozen Out of Royal Family’: Rogue Royal’s Dad King Charles ‘Refusing to Talk to Son and Snubbing His Ex-Actress Wife’
Furious King Charles is shunning renegade Prince Harry and his diva wife, Meghan, with a chilling wall of silence that spells disaster for their dreams of superstardom.
Charles, 75, who was diagnosed with cancer in January, is refusing to take Harry’s calls and now, RadarOnline. com can reveal, Hollywood’s royalty is following his lead by also snubbing the rebel Duke and Duchess of Sussex four years after they selfishly quit their royal duties and skipped out to California to become mega-wealthy celebrities.
A high-level palace courtier told RadarOnline.com: “Silence is NOT golden for Harry and Meghan.”
Continuing, they said: “They thought they’d be welcomed with open arms when they moved to California, but instead they’re toast, being kept at arm’s length by the very people they expected to kowtow to them.”
But it shouldn’t surprise them, noted a palace insider, since “they spewed so many shocking accusations including racism, cruelty and violence at the royals Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William and cancer-stricken Princess Kate — all trust was destroyed”.
They added: “Now Harry’s furious father won’t even answer his calls! Tinseltown took notice and invites dried up. The stars are leery about being seen in their orbit.”
The snubbing of the Sussexes was evident when Meghan, 43, flew cross-country from their $14million Montecito mansion, where she lives with Harry, 39, and their kids, Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3, to the high-society Hamptons for the G9 Ventures Summer Summit last month.
Looking to network with high-powered female entrepreneurs ahead of officially launching her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, the former actress was notably missing from photos with A-list attendees like Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon and Diane Sawyer.
Our insider said: “I’m told they know if they’re in a picture with Meghan, it’s a tacit approval of her that she can use to promote herself. Meghan can show up at events where they are at and move into their neighborhood but they are not friends.”
The backlash is a deadly blow for the Sussexes’ dreams, say sources.
Another source stated: “Perhaps if Meghan demonstrates some humility and genuine kindness and isn’t always so self-serving, she might find herself embraced rather than barely tolerated.
“She thought prince marrying a would make her a somebody, but she’s being seen as manipulative and scheming and trying too hard to be likable.”
The snooty duchess has also cut her 80-year-old father, Thomas Markle, out of her life, refusing to let him see his grandchildren. And Meghan, with Harry, is reportedly keeping the kids away from Charles, too, until he bows to their demands.
Our insider said: “No wonder celebrities appear wary of getting too close. Reputations are everything in Hollywood.”
Paltrow recently posted a supportive message to Catherine, Princess of Wales, so it’s clear where the lines are drawn.
The insider exclaimed: “William and Kate are IN and Harry and Meghan are OUT!”
As for the king, the palace courtier said: “He has more important things to be focused on than a spoiled brat son who made his bed and now won’t lie in it”.
