Sophie Trudeau, the former first lady of Canada and ex-wife of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has distanced herself from Meghan Markle, suggesting that they haven't spent much time together despite Meghan's previous praise of Sophie as a dear friend. In a November 2022 episode of the Archetypes podcast, Meghan revealed that Sophie used to send her supportive meditations and voice notes during her pregnancy. Meghan had sought Sophie's advice over the years and fondly reminisced about a delightful day they spent together at a mansion, where they enjoyed the company of their children and had a carefree time.
However, in a recent interview with The Times, when asked about her relationship with Meghan, Sophie was reserved and stated, "I know her, but we haven't spent much time together." Sophie redirected the conversation to Meghan's sister-in-law, Catherine, the Princess of Wales, expressing concern upon hearing about Catherine's cancer diagnosis. Sophie emphasized that the party Meghan mentioned never happened and clarified that it was a Zoom call. Sophie highlighted the logistical challenges of her being in Ottawa as the PM's wife and the borders being closed during the pandemic, making it highly unlikely for her and the children to fly to Montecito for a casual gathering.
It appears that the story Meghan shared may have been embellished or misunderstood. It seems unlikely that Meghan would invite anyone to the Montecito mansion, as its interior has remained dated without any new furnishings or updates. This situation parallels the incident with the lunch with Michelle Obama, where Meghan gave the impression of sharing a cozy lunch but was later revealed to be dining alone on tacos.
The voice notes Meghan mentioned compromised Sophie's interviews on YouTube, where Meghan viewed the meditations as inspiring remarks. The reference to wine alludes to how Meghan may have manifested this delusion. The reason behind Sophie downplaying her friendship with Meghan remains uncertain. One possible explanation could be connected to Meghan's rift with her former close friend, Jessica Mulroney, who had previously served as a stylist for Sophie Trudeau. The Trudeaus and the Mulroneys have been friends since childhood, and it's likely that their wives formed a close bond. However, Meghan's treatment of Jessica might have made her unwelcome among the Canadian elites.
While Meghan may have exaggerated her friendship with Sophie, it wouldn't be surprising if Sophie is showing loyalty to her friend Jessica, considering Meghan's treatment of her. This might have resulted in Meghan feeling unwelcome among the Canadian elite circles.
