Even though Kris Jenner and Chrissy Teigen proudly announced in April that they were recipients of jars of Meghan Markle’s American Riviera Orchard strawberry jam, the former butler for Prince Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana, has proclaimed that other A-list celebrities have mostly lost interest in Meghan and Harry. In an interview with Closer magazine, Paul Burrell said that Harry and Meghan’s friends circle in the United States “is getting smaller and smaller,” The Sun reported. “I think the A-list stars are dropping like flies,” said Burrell, who worked for Diana until her death in 1997.
He said that Oprah Winfrey “no longer seems to be involved” with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex — not like when the media mogul attended their 2018 royal wedding, then interviewed them in 2021, giving the renegade couple a major platform to explain their move to the United States and air their grievances about royal life and the royal family. But The Sun also reported t hat Harry and Meghan no longer appear to be friends with some of their other famous wedding guests, notably George and Amal Clooney and David and Victorian Beckham. Of course, journalists and authors like Tina Brown have questioned whether these guests ever were genuine friends of the couple, with Brown writing in her 2022 book, “The Palace Papers,” that the “celebrity guests were a portrait not of Meghan’s intimate circle but of the friends she most wanted to recruit” into her inner circle.
