‘Rich freeloaders’: Harry and Meghan denied ability to use Air Force One

Hollywood’s A-listers are avoiding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, fearing that they will spill their secrets and alienate them from Prince William and Princess Catherine, it has been claimed.

Celebrities are said to be worried that the pair will dish the dirt on their private lives, The New York Post reports.

The Sussexes are also facing questions around their “star power” as questions rise about their next steps.

Celebrities, including their high-profile neighbours in California’s Montecito Steven Spielberg, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Rob Lowe, are said to staying away from the exiled royals, according to NewsNation.

The Sussexes even missed out on an invite to Oprah Winfrey’s birthday party, despite her bombshell interview with the pair in March 2021.

“Everyone’s got a movie to sell and a Broadway play they want to debut on screen in London or (London’s) West End and they know that Prince William and Kate — who are the biggest (celebrity) gets over there won’t show if they think someone is friends with Harry and Meghan,” NewsNation’s senior story producer Paula Froelich said.

“My sources tell me it’s all about the money,” she said. “And the big power players in Hollywood aren’t jeopardising their business for Harry and Meghan.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were also allegedly snubbed by the White House when they were denied a flight on Air Force One when they tried to hitch a ride back to the US after the late Queen’s funeral last September.

The White House was said to be worried that escorting the estranged royals would cause a “commotion” and strain relations with Britain, The New York Post reports.

It is now the first time Prince Harry has caused a stir within Hollywood’s elite with his tell-all

revelations.

Earlier this year, Friends star Courteney Cox denied handing out hallucinogenic mushroom chocolates at her mansion, as detailed in Prince Harry’s explosive autobiography, Spare.

Prince Harry wrote in his memoir that while attending a party at Cox’s home in Los Angeles, an unnamed actor allegedly showed him a box of “black diamond mushroom chocolates” in Cox’s refrigerator.

“My mate and I grabbed several, gobbled them, washed them down with tequila,” he wrote before detailing his hallucinations.

Cox strongly denied that she provided the mushrooms, with telling Variety, “I definitely wasn’t passing them out.”

It comes amid reports Prince Harry has reportedly “isolated himself” from a host of friends and trusted advisers he once was close to in the UK.

The second son of King Charles is not in touch with many of his British friends, including his former nanny Tiggy Legge-Bourke, The Express reports.
