Hollywood's chill icon, George Clooney, delivered a cold slap to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Prince Harry musters up all his bravery to ask Clooney if he can take one of George's vintage motorcycles for a spin. But Clooney, ever the laid-back alpha bro, shuts him down without breaking a sweat. Instead of getting to live out his biking dreams, Harry is left with nothing but public transportation and old-fashioned bicycles.
The humiliation of it all really stands out, from the impersonal way the request was made to the desperation in Harry's pleas. It's clear Harry expected special treatment just because he invited Clooney to his wedding. But Clooney's response? Deny them the pleasure of cruising around his Italian estate, allegedly because he's still recovering from a scooter accident.
Even the small concession of allowing one of Harry's protection officers to accompany him feels like a slap in the face. And this isn't the first time Meghan and Harry have been humiliated by A-listers they hoped would support them. According to reports, Clooney shrugged off Meghan when she tried to introduce herself, despite Oprah supposedly arranging for Clooney to escort them to their wedding.
But it's not just Clooney; Brad Pitt reportedly offered to edit them out of future cuts of his movies. Despite all these snubs, Harry still expected special treatment on his recent visit to Clooney's estate. But instead of the royal treatment, he got a reality check.
