Meghan Markle 'humiliated' by fresh 'rejection blow' from Hollywood megastars, source says
Meghan Markle has reportedly been left "humiliated" by a supposed snub from Kris Jenner, as the Sussexes try to build connections in the USA.
Meghan Markle is said to have suffered a "pretty big blow" due to another Hollywood snub, as the Duchess of Sussex tries to rebuild some momentum in 2024.
According to one source, Meghan and Prince Harry have been "rejected" by Kris Jenner, not long after polls showed the popularity of the Sussexes declining.
The source claimed to Closer UK: “Kris has a lot on her plate, but ultimately people can’t help but wonder if she’s dropped them because she’s seen the disastrous opinion polls on the Sussexes.”
They added that following the reported block by Kris Jenner, Meghan has been left “humiliated”, as she initially had her reservations about working with the Kardashians.
This year has seen Harry and Meghan attempt to build up their brand with a series of projects including a cooking show, the Parents Network, and the launch of lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard.
On the impact of the snub, the source claimed: “No doubt they [Harry and Meghan] felt they were lowering their standards a little by associating with the Kardashians, so to end up being rejected by them is a pretty big blow.
“Meghan had eventually come around to the idea and was excited to be working with Kardashians…so it’s beyond humiliating for her to be tossed aside.”
Meanwhile, another source has come to the defence of Meghan over the yet-to-be-launched American Riviera Orchard lifestyle brand. They dismissed claims that the former actress was struggling to find a CEO, describing the rumours as "untrue".
They added that the brand "will reflect everything that she loves — family, cooking, entertaining and home décor" and that Meghan was "excited about her latest, personal venture".

Whilst Meghan has reportedly been ignored by the Kardashian-Jenner matriarch, her husband has seemingly been trying to work out ways to make a shock return to the UK.
Reports have surfaced in recent weeks that Harry has reached out to friends in the UK to discuss how he can make a return to Britain and base himself in the UK.
A source told the Mail: “He is clearly reaching out thinking, 'I need to do something different because what I'm doing is clearly not working'. In short, he is rethinking the way he operates.”
Whilst Harry may be keen on a return to his home country, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams has warned that there could be one major obstacle in his way.
Writing in the Express, Mr Fitzwilliams suggested: “The main problem with any comeback, if it hypothetically could be arranged, is obviously Meghan. Her home is in California.
“She is detested in Britain where she currently has a negative rating of 37 percent according to a YouGov poll in August. She seeks prestige and global reach and is absolutely ruthless about getting it.”
Despite concerns about whether Meghan would approve of a move back across the Atlantic, the act isn’t impossible.
Royal author Tom Quinn has claimed that Meghan might be willing to travel back to the UK on the condition that she and Harry have their own place and security.
Express.co.uk has contacted a representative for the Sussexes for comment.
