According to reports from the Daily Mail, their friend circle has undergone a significant transformation. Previously, Harry and Meghan had cultivated friendships with notable figures such as tennis legend Serena Williams and fashion designer Misha Nonoo.
However, since their marriage, they have formed new alliances, most notably with media mogul Oprah Winfrey and Hollywood heavyweight Tyler Perry, who even serves as the godfather to their daughter, Princess Lily.
But let's not ignore the elephant in the room. The Sussexes' journey has not been without casualties. They have lost close friends along the way.
One name that stands out is Tom Inskip, affectionately known as "Skippy." Harry and Skippy's friendship dates back to their time at Eton, and they even shared infamous moments together, like the unforgettable strip billiards game in Las Vegas back in 2012.
However, it seems that their bond could not withstand the storm brought on by Meghan's entrance into Harry's life. Inskip reportedly expressed concerns about the speed at which the relationship was progressing and warned Harry against marrying Meghan.
Unfortunately, this caused a rift between the longtime friends. According to the book "Finding Freedom," Inskip's doubts led to a falling out, leaving their friendship in tatters.
The loss of such a close ally speaks volumes about the divisive nature surrounding Harry and Meghan's decisions. It begs the question: What is it about the Sussexes that has driven away friends who once stood by their side? Is it a clash of values, a difference in priorities, or something more insidious?
As the royal couple forges ahead on their own path, they have managed to find solace in new friendships.
Figures like Gayle King, Sophie Trudeau, and Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, have joined their trusted confidants. However, these relationships pale in comparison to the friendships they have lost along the way.
