Meghan Markle’s last-ditch attempt to ‘hold on’ to famous friend as network ‘falls apart’
Meghan Markle allegedly wore a specific clothing brand to covertly signal to Beyoncé that “they’re still friends”, a celebrity insider has claimed.
The Duchess of Sussex, 42, was spotted “specifically” wearing a tracksuit from Beyoncé’s Ivy Park brand while shooting a new Netflix series in Beverly Hills Park last week.
It comes amid claims that Meghan has been desperately trying to preserve her few remaining high profile friendships, as the Hollywood elite have been “distancing themselves” from Harry and Meghan.
The source told Heat magazine: “Meghan was filming for her new Netflix series and specifically chose to wear Ivy Park to highlight her connection to Beyoncé and send a message that they’re still friends.
“With practically every other famous friend distancing themselves from her and Harry, Meghan is understandably worried that their Hollywood network is falling apart, and Bey is the most well known of the few stars who will still associate with her.”
The Sussexes hosted a raft of A-list celebrities at their wedding in 2018, including the Beckhams, the Clooneys, and Idris Elba, but the insider said Meghan now feels like she needs Beyoncé’s support to “save the Sussex brand”.
David and Victoria Beckham have reportedly chosen to align themselves with Prince William and Princess Kate in a bid to secure a knighthood for the former footballer.
To counteract this dwindling number of celebrities, Meghan has seemingly ramped up her efforts to remain close to the legendary singer, with the source saying she’s “really going for it”.
They claimed that Meghan invited Beyoncé to a July 4 party despite “not having spoken to her in months” and made contact with the singer’s production company, Parkwood Entertainment, about a new project.
The source also said that the Duchess of Sussex has been attempting to strike up a friendship with Beyoncé’s sister, Solange Knowles, and cosying up to Tyler Perry, who is friends with the singer.
