The Sussex Saga Continues: Kim Kardashian Reportedly Drops Megan Markle Amid Hollywood Struggles
The drama surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shows no signs of slowing down, and this time, it’s Kim Kardashian who’s making headlines for cutting ties with the Duchess of Sussex. According to reports, Kim is done with Meghan and isn’t even bothering to return her calls. Let’s dive into the latest chapter of the Sussex saga and unpack how Meghan’s Hollywood ambitions have hit yet another roadblock.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle haven’t exactly been on a winning streak lately. Their so-called “La Tour” in January, where they visited wildfire-devastated areas, was widely criticized as a poorly disguised photo op. Critics labeled them “disaster tourists,” and let’s be honest—when your humanitarian efforts make people cringe instead of applaud, you’ve got a serious PR problem.
But just when you thought things couldn’t get worse for the self-exiled royals, *Vanity Fair* dropped a bombshell February cover story that served as a public relations wrecking ball. Titled *Inside Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Big Business Ambitions 5 Years After Their Royal Exit*, the article painted a less-than-glamorous picture of the Sussexes. Among the allegations were claims that Meghan treated her staff so poorly that they allegedly needed therapy after working for her. This adds to previous accusations from the so-called “Sussex Survivors Club,” which labeled Meghan a “dictator in high heels” with “psycho moments.”
You’d think Hollywood, an industry that thrives on scandal, would stick by their side, right? Wrong. Even Tinseltown seems to be tapping out. The industry that’s no stranger to drama has reportedly decided that Harry and Meghan bring *too much* of it.
Daily Mail columnist Maureen Callahan summed it up perfectly during an appearance on commentator Kinsey Schofield’s podcast. She pointed out that the *Vanity Fair* piece was a serious takedown, highlighting just how far the Sussexes have fallen in Hollywood. “Publishing? Failing. Podcasting? Cancelled. Streaming? Meh. It’s all just one big flop after another,” Callahan remarked.
Now, it seems even Kim Kardashian—a woman who’s built an empire out of turning scandal into success—wants nothing to do with Meghan and Harry. Last year, there were whispers of a potential collaboration between Meghan and Kim, especially after Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland, was seen rubbing elbows with Kris Jenner. But according to recent reports, Kim is officially out.
*The Mirror US* claims that Kim was initially open to a Kardashian-Sussex partnership. However, after witnessing the never-ending PR disasters surrounding the couple, she’s reportedly done. While Kris Jenner might still be playing nice (she did receive one of Meghan’s jam jars from her much-mocked American Riviera Orchard brand), Kim is allegedly ignoring Meghan’s calls and emails like they’re spam from a Nigerian prince.
A source told *Closer Magazine*, “As much as Kim respects her mom Kris’s choice to support them, she doesn’t want to be associated with anyone that’s controversial unless they really are a great benefit to her.” Translation? Harry and Meghan bring more baggage than benefits, and Kim isn’t interested in a collab that won’t boost her brand.
When even Kim Kardashian—a woman famous for being famous—wants to distance herself from you, it’s a clear sign that your star power is fading. So, what’s next for the Sussexes? At this rate, it’s likely another failed business venture, another tell-all interview that no one asked for, or maybe—just maybe—another attempt at a Royal reunion. After all, when all else fails, there’s always the victim card to play.
One thing’s for sure: Hollywood is over the Sussex circus, and Kim Kardashian has officially slammed the door shut. Whether Meghan and Harry can recover from this latest blow remains to be seen, but for now, their Hollywood dreams seem to be crumbling faster than a poorly baked American Riviera Orchard pie.
