It seems that Meghan Markle's longstanding friendship with Soho House founder, Marcus Anderson, may be truly over after he took drastic measures in response to her recent actions. For those unaware, Marcus Anderson played a significant role in Meghan's life before she met Prince Harry, serving as the Director of Events for the private members club company, Soho House. Marcus helped introduce Meghan to the elite social scenes of London, Toronto, and New York through exclusive Soho House events and parties. He was one of her closest friends and confidants in the years leading up to her royal romance.
Despite rumors swirling that Marcus and Meghan had briefly dated before she met Harry, they always maintained that they were nothing more than friends. However, it was clear that Marcus held a special place in Meghan's inner circle. He supported her through her early royal engagements after she got engaged to Harry in 2017.
However, it seems that things have now drastically changed between the former friends. Word on the grapevine is that Marcus was furious over some of Meghan's actions and comments since stepping back from royal duties and moving to America with Harry. Specifically, he took major issue with claims Meghan made about the royal family during her bombshell interview with Oprah last year.
Sources say Marcus felt that some of Meghan's scathing remarks crossed the line and damaged the monarchy's reputation on a global scale. He was also upset that Meghan dragged Soho House and their close friendship into the public eye without permission during the interview.
The final straw for Marcus appears to have been Meghan's recent Netflix documentary series. Sources close to Marcus reveal that he watched in dismay as the series saw Meghan make several shocking allegations about her royal experience and reveal private details from her pre-Harry Soho House days.
Marcus felt that Meghan had completely betrayed his trust by oversharing sensitive details from their friendship on such a public platform. As a result, he reportedly took his anger and resentment to an entirely new level by permanently banning her from all Soho House locations and events worldwide.
In a major power move, Marcus has also ensured that Meghan will never again be invited or accepted at the exclusive Soho House Awards, an annual event where she had previously been a regular front-row guest. He has reportedly had her name added to an internal global blacklist to enforce the permanent ban across all 21 Soho House clubs and events indefinitely into the future.
Marcus feels that Meghan completely broke the trust and understanding within their close inner friendship circle by continuously oversharing private anecdotes about Soho House and their time together before Harry. Her actions, according to sources, tested the loyalty of even her oldest and closest friendships like never before.
Meghan has reportedly been handed a lifetime ban from Soho House clubs and award functions worldwide as her ex-BFF, Marcus Anderson, takes a strict stance against her ongoing betrayal of their once-tight-knit friendship. Only time will tell if this is truly the end of the road for their relationship after over a decade of close camaraderie.
