Sophie Trudeau has distanced herself from Meghan Markle, contradicting Meghan's previous praise of Sophie as a close friend.
The former first lady of Canada, once married to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, downplayed any significant relationship with Meghan, despite Meghan's past implications of a strong bond and admiration for Sophie's strength. In a November 2022 episode of the Archetypes podcast, Meghan revealed that Sophie used to send her supportive meditations and voice notes during her pregnancy, seeking Sophie's advice over the years.
Meghan reminisced about a delightful day she and Sophie shared at a Montecito mansion, where their children played in the swimming pool on pizza-shaped floats. They savored wine on the terrace, feeling carefree and giddy, away from their usual public personas. However, in a recent interview with The Times, Sophie remained reserved about her relationship with Meghan, stating they haven't spent much time together. She redirected the conversation to Meghan's sister-in-law, Katherine, the Princess of Wales, expressing concern for her recent cancer diagnosis.
Sophie's dismissal of a close friendship with Meghan during the time she was still the Prime Minister's wife raises doubts about the authenticity of Meghan's recollections. Given the travel restrictions during the pandemic, it seems improbable that Sophie and her children would have flown to Montecito for such an occasion. It's plausible that Meghan embellished the story based on a casual conversation with Sophie about swimming with the kids.
The voice notes Meghan mentioned likely referenced inspiring remarks Sophie made in her YouTube interviews. The reference to wine perhaps symbolizes Meghan's imaginative exaggeration of their relationship. The reason behind Sophie's downplaying of their friendship remains uncertain.
One possible explanation could be Megan's rift with Jessica Morrone, a former close friend who previously served as a stylist for Sophie. The Trudeaus and the Morrones share a long-standing friendship, suggesting that their wives formed a close bond. However, Megan's treatment of Jessica might have made her unwelcome among the Canadian elites, potentially influencing Sophie's stance.
