Meghan Markle is no stranger to controversy, but this time, the former actress-turned-royal has reportedly found herself in an embarrassing situation after allegedly clashing with Hollywood superstar Jennifer Aniston. According to insiders, Meghan attempted to establish a high-profile friendship with Aniston, hoping to solidify her place among Hollywood’s elite. However, when the "Friends" star politely declined, Meghan was said to be furious, allegedly declaring, "We will never be friends."
Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Meghan and Prince Harry have struggled to maintain their relevance in Hollywood. While their initial deals with Netflix and Spotify generated buzz, industry insiders suggest that their constant controversies and public grievances have made many A-listers hesitant to associate with them. Eager to strengthen her position in Hollywood, Meghan reportedly viewed Jennifer Aniston as an ideal ally.
Sources claim Meghan reached out through mutual acquaintances, hoping to build a connection with Aniston, who stars in "The Morning Show." However, Aniston, known for maintaining a selective inner circle and avoiding unnecessary drama, was reportedly not interested in aligning herself with Meghan’s increasingly controversial reputation. Despite Aniston’s polite but firm response, Meghan allegedly did not take the rejection well.
This isn’t the first time Meghan has faced rejection from high-profile figures. Several Hollywood insiders have reportedly distanced themselves from her due to concerns that she exploits relationships for personal gain. One notable fallout was with Victoria Beckham. Meghan allegedly accused the fashion designer of leaking private details to the press—a claim that sources close to the Beckhams have strongly denied. Similarly, her once-close friendship with tennis icon Serena Williams has seemingly cooled, leading to speculation that Williams, too, has grown wary of Meghan’s intentions.
Meghan’s reaction to Aniston’s rejection only adds to her growing reputation for being difficult and entitled. While Hollywood has always been known for its exclusivity, Meghan may have assumed that her royal status would grant her easy access to the industry’s inner circle. However, Jennifer Aniston—a veteran actress who has maintained a scandal-free career through discretion and professionalism—has built her success on talent rather than controversy. Unlike Meghan, who has frequently spoken out in tell-all interviews, Aniston has remained selective about her associations, preferring to keep her private life out of the spotlight.
After Aniston’s rejection, insiders claim Meghan was enraged and took the snub personally. Given her history, some speculate that she may attempt to control the narrative by subtly suggesting in future interviews or media leaks that Aniston betrayed her in some way. However, Hollywood appears to remain skeptical of Meghan’s intentions, and despite her best efforts, she continues to struggle to find a genuine place among the entertainment industry’s elite.
