Meghan Markle has been snubbed by her “dear friend” Sophie Trudeau in a brand-new interview.
In the interview, Sophie – who was previously married to the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau – appeared to play down her friendship with Meghan.
Speaking of Meghan, Sophie told The Times: “I know her… but we haven’t spent much time together.”
Meghan perviously gushed about their friendship, referring to Sophie a “dear friend” and one she admired as being an “emblematic of strength”.
Speaking in an episode on her podcast Archetypes, Meghan claimed that Sophie “sent me little meditations during my pregnancy” and voice notes of “encouragement” and said that she used to go to her “over the years for advice”.
Also speaking of their friendship on Archetypes, Meghan described how the pair spent time at her Montecito mansion, where their children played in the swimming pool whilst they drank wine “on the terrace” and were “giddy like schoolgirls”.
Although it remains unclear if the pair are still friends, a possible falling out could be down to the end of Meghan’s other friendship with Jessica Mulroney – who acted as stylist for Sophie.
The pair met nine years ago at Toronto’s fashion week when Meghan was starring in Suits.
As Meghan introduced her special guest she said: “She knows what it feels like to be a mum and a partner.
“And specifically a mum and a partner in the public eye, and also how crushing the guilt of expectations can become the guilt that we feel as mothers or as women, in general, is self-imposed.”
She also said Sophie was in town with her children for a few days, which was “exciting”, and they and the kids played at the poolside.
Meghan said: “We splashed in the water, then threw some pool floats in.
Harry and Meghan are beset by problems, everyone is bored of their relentless moaning about the way they’ve been treated
“By the way, the inflatable pizza slice proved to be a big hit, which I found online.
“And I kid you not the one without pepperoni was a few dollars less than the one with pepperoni.
“And yes, I’m still talking about the inflatable pizza, float for the pool.”
It comes after reports that Meghan has failed to find a CEO for her lifestyle brand despite weeks of searching.
She has spent the last five weeks interviewing for the position at American Riviera Orchard – which is a new site set to focus on home, food and goods.
A source in California close to the former actress said: “The initial CEO search has not panned out so far.”
Filming for the brand began at Meghan and Harry’s Californian mansion just last week.
While the bump in the road comes at a shock to Meghan, the failure to find a lead could see her bag a deal with Netflix.
It is understood she has entered talks with the streaming giant about setting up a commercial partnership with the brand.
The sourced added: “It would run the lifestyle business with Meghan, developing products as spin-offs from her show.
“If a partnership is agreed, it’s likely that Netflix would install its own CEO to run operations.”
Nobody worth their salt wants to be associated with the Harkles.
Harry should have stayed home. His family could really use his help right now!
