She didn’t show up! Meghan Markle’s (41) circle of friends consists of many familiar faces. That was already evident at the royal wedding of Prince Harry (38) in 2018. Among their guests were celebrities such as Abigail Spencer (41), Priyanka Chopra (40), and Amal Clooney (44). Oprah Winfrey (69) couldn’t be missing on the big day either. The two share a close friendship. Meghan now skipped the birthday of the talk show legend!

Over the weekend, a high-profile elite of celebrity ladies accepted the invitation to the 25th anniversary of the makeup line Anastasia Beverly Hills. Another occasion was celebrated there: Oprah’s 69th birthday! Kim Kardashian (42), Heidi Klum (49), and Jennifer Lopez (53) – were all there and celebrated the TV host. Only one was missing, although her appearance was expected: Meghan. A nobility expert told FoxNews why: “My assessment of the situation is that both Oprah and the Sussexes know this is a very sensitive moment for Harry and Meghan as we approach the coronation of King Charles.”

“Appearing at such a glitzy, high-profile event with Hollywood greats honoring Oprah is not what the Sussexes need right now,” he continued. The royal expert concluded that they would send the wrong signal to Harry’s father, but also to British society.
