Meghan reportedly saw an opportunity in Fergie’s connection with the Saudi prince and aimed to leverage it for a lucrative business deal. However, rather than simply asking for an introduction, Meghan allegedly demanded that Fergie not only make the introduction but also help negotiate the deal on her behalf. Essentially, Meghan wanted Fergie to do all the work while Meghan would take all the credit.
Fergie was blindsided by Meghan’s audacity and entitlement. As someone who has worked hard for her connections in Hollywood, Fergie felt it was a major affront to be asked to use her hard-earned relationships solely to benefit Meghan without any consideration for her own interests.
Instead of politely declining, Fergie reportedly erupted in a heated phone call with Meghan, accusing her of arrogance and delusions of grandeur. Fergie reminded Meghan of her own decades of hard work in the entertainment industry, contrasting it with Meghan’s relatively recent entry into the spotlight. The argument was so intense that Harry could allegedly be heard in the background, defending his wife and demanding Fergie leave her alone.
In the fallout, Fergie and Meghan’s relationship appears to be irreparably damaged. There’s talk that Fergie has advised her Hollywood contacts to distance themselves from Meghan until she shows more humility and respect. This advice could significantly impact Meghan’s efforts to establish herself in LA without the support of the monarchy or influential friends like Fergie.
The clash highlights a stark contrast in attitudes: Fergie, who built her career from the ground up, versus Meghan, who, despite marrying into royalty, seems to act as though the world should cater to her desires without much effort on her part.
It will be interesting to see how this feud evolves as Meghan and Harry continue their transition out of royal life. Will other celebrities take sides? Will Meghan and Harry struggle to gain traction in LA without the backing of the monarchy or friends like Fergie? Only time will tell.
