The former "Suits" star initially met Ellen in 2017, and their bond deepened after Meghan's engagement to Prince Harry in 2018, even making appearances on Ellen's talk show. The friendship flourished further when the Sussexes relocated to the US in 2020, spending considerable time with Ellen and her wife Portia. Notably, Harry and Meghan were among the A-list guests at Ellen and Portia's vow renewal last year. Ellen has previously praised the couple as down-to-earth and compassionate. Recent developments, however, reveal that Meghan's agency, WME, has advised her to cool off her friendship with Ellen, citing concerns about the toxic workplace allegations surrounding "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."
The advice stems from a broader effort to rebuild Meghan's image, with insiders suggesting that any association with scandal could jeopardize the couple's hard-earned reputation in America.Sources indicate that the decision might have originated from Ellen's end, possibly due to Meghan's behavior at a police fundraiser and a subsequent group photo with Harry, Ellen, Portia, Oprah, and others. Some speculate that Ellen may have refused Megan's request or tried to dissuade her from the Sussex mansion purchase.
Adding fuel to the fire, Meghan was notably absent from Ellen's wife, Portia De Rossi's, birthday party. Despite their past friendship, Ellen excluded Meghan and Harry from the celebration. Ellen shared a photo of Portia posing with a horse, expressing birthday wishes and gratitude for her wife. Chris Jenner, a close friend of the couple, also posted a heartfelt Instagram tribute for Portia.
As the dynamics between Meghan and Ellen continue to unfold, the exclusion from the birthday party raises questions about the status of their once-close friendship and its potential impact on Meghan and Harry's public image."
