Sitting next to the Clooneys, the prince's godmother asked how they met Harry and Meghan Markle. The answer: "We don't know them at all!"
The revelation on the alleged friendship of Meghan Markle and the Clooneys comes from Rachel Johnson, journalist and sister of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. In an article for the online publication Air Mail, it is said that, on May 19, 2018, the Clooneys sat in their assigned seats in St George's Chapel in Windsor, where a few moments later the Sussex wedding rite would begin. , in front of 600 other guests. And Carolyn Bartholomew - Harry's godmother and Lady Diana's former co-tenant at the time of her engagement to Charles of England, asked them an innocent question: how did they meet?
"We don't know Meghan Markle"
George, 59, and Amal, 42, admitted that, in fact, they didn't know Harry and Meghan Markle at all. Barholomew was surprised to say the least. After all, the fact that the actor and his wife were seated in the front rows of the chapel, not far from William and Charles, and next to Viscount Linley, son of Princess Margaret, could not fail to indicate an intimate friendship and of long standing between the two couples.
Meghan Markle's "strategy"
Rachel Johnson reveals that the Clooneys, later also included among the 200 VIPs admitted to the exclusive night party at Frogmore House, also in Windsor, made the same admission to other guests. And points out that, at the time, other celebs present at the occasion, from David to Victoria Beckham to Oprah Winfrey, could not have been old friends of Harry, 36, and Meghan, 39. They were, perhaps, mere acquaintances included by Meghan on the guest list to boost her profile?
The Clooney invitation
George got noticed at the evening party, dancing with both Meghan and Kate Middleton, and serving drinks at the bar. The friendship between the Sussex and the Clooneys was cemented, however, already a few days after the wedding, when Harry and Meghan received an invitation to join the actor and his wife in their villa on Lake Como, traveling on George's private jet. And there they also found Eugenia of York and then-boyfriend Jack Brooksbank, the actor's business partner in a tequila brand.
