Sir Elton John has expressed his excitement for the upcoming musical adaptation of *The Devil Wears Prada*, set to debut at the Dominion Theatre in London this October. As the highly anticipated production gears up for its West End premiere, Elton is optimistic that the blend of fashion, music, and vibrant performances will resonate with audiences.
It's been a real labor of love, and I'm thrilled to see this musical come to life," he shared.
However, it seems that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been unceremoniously snubbed from the guest list. Previously, Harry had approached Elton with a heartfelt request to perform "Candle in the Wind" in memory of his late mother, Princess Diana, during the anniversary of her death. Instead of granting the request, Elton reportedly declined, emphasizing that the song is "just too much."
This is quite a twist, especially considering Elton wrote a revised version of that very ballad in 1997, with proceeds benefitting Diana's charities. Fast forward to December 1, when Elton's musical extravaganza is set to dazzle at the Dominion Theatre. Naturally, many expect Harry and Meghan to be front and center, soaking in the spotlight and gossip, but the plot thickens.
Should they even brave the heart of London, dodging cameras and the glitterati? Let’s not forget Elton's past generosity; he has acted like their personal travel agent, offering jet rides and holiday homes as if they were long-lost friends. You’d think there would be some unspoken agreement for reciprocity, right? Apparently not. Instead of returning the favor with their star-studded presence, it appears they might be poised for a royal no-show
The anticipation is palpable. Will Meghan make a grand entrance, posing for the cameras as if she’s on a Hollywood red carpet, or will she opt to stay at home, pondering the missed opportunity? You can practically hear the paparazzi sharpening their lenses in excitement. But if they decide to skip the event for security reasons, what will happen to Elton’s grand soirée? Will it turn into a tragic comedy of errors, or simply be a glittering occasion marred by the absence of the royal couple?
Elton, a longtime friend of Harry’s, might find himself caught in a mini crisis. Is their friendship worth it if Harry and Meghan's presence could turn the night into a PR disaster? Just imagine the headlines: “Elton’s Musical Night Turns into a Royal No-Show” or “Harry and Meghan Leave Elton Hanging.”
But really, why would Elton want the Markles overshadowing his big night? Perhaps Meghan, fearing a potentially hostile audience, will decide to stay away entirely. And let’s not forget about Harry—could this be an excuse for him to vanish again, leaving the kids behind while he attends another glamorous soirée?
If Meghan does attend, you can bet she’ll make quite the scene, likely leaving early and chatting up everyone in the front row, blocking views like a seasoned pro. It’s puzzling why anyone would think she’d be a welcome addition to an event where reputations are already hanging by a thread.
The Markles might simply be too busy to attend, consumed by their reality TV stardom and other pressing matters. After all, there’s only so much ego to go around, and even Elton John might be weary of the drama that seems to follow them like a shadow.
Reports suggest that Elton and the couple are allegedly no longer on friendly terms, particularly after he overheard them mocking and badmouthing him during a private flight he had arranged for them. It must frustrate Meghan to no end that so many glamorous events slip through her fingers, whether due to lack of invitations or the fear of facing a booing audience.
