Meghan Markle was notably absent from the guest list at the Campari closing party during the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival, held at Magnum Beach in Cannes, France, on May 24th, 2024.
The event drew a crowd of luminaries from the film and fashion worlds, including A-list celebrities and industry insiders. Meghan's absence, however, raised eyebrows and sparked considerable speculation. According to a blind item, Meghan was not invited because no one wanted to deal with her demands.
Campari, a major partner of the Cannes Film Festival, hosts a highly desirable and exclusive party where Meghan could not impose any demands. The general sentiment was that she did not belong there. The gossip in Hollywood is rife with whispers about her behavior, with many noting her inflated ego since she began identifying herself as a Nigerian princess. Her belief that Hollywood should pay attention and respect her has only fueled more gossip about her attire and relevance in the industry.
Despite her ambitions, Meghan's efforts in Hollywood have been met with skepticism. Many believe she feels entitled to attention and success, despite not being a notable actress or a significant figure in the film industry. Her podcast efforts have floundered, and her attempts to establish herself in various ventures have not been successful. Insiders suggest that her ambitions are hindering her progress, with some describing her as greedy and overplaying her hand.
In 2023, Meghan and Prince Harry lost their lucrative contract with Spotify, leading to the duo being labeled as grifters by the company's executives. Almost every project they have undertaken has ended in failure, according to insiders. Meghan's initial proximity to the British royal family provided her with opportunities in Hollywood, but the industry's real stars have worked hard for their success, something that insiders feel Meghan is not accustomed to.
When Meghan married Prince Harry in 2018, she was relatively unknown in Hollywood. Her marriage gave her the opportunity to be in the global spotlight indefinitely, but she chose to pursue bigger ambitions outside the royal family. This decision has led to widespread criticism and mockery from both A-list celebrities and the royal family.
An insider revealed that Meghan was tackling too many projects at once, leading to her inability to prioritize effectively. Executives at Lemonada, a podcast company, expected her to focus on their project, but she seemed to have bigger plans with Netflix. Consequently, Lemonada has put a new podcast on hold until at least 2025. This is seen as another misstep by Meghan, with sources stating that her new ventures are destined to fail due to her lack of experience in building a brand. To succeed, she needs to become more likable and marketable, a lesson that she has yet to learn.
