Meghan Markle experienced a cold reception from Hollywood A-listers at the G9 Ventures Summer Summit, where celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Reese Witherspoon reportedly avoided her. Sources claim this avoidance is due to the perception that being seen with Markle equates to endorsing her, which could be used for self-promotion. This incident comes amid broader concerns that US elites are distancing themselves from Markle and Prince Harry. Despite efforts to revitalize her public image through charity work and launching her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, Markle's attempts to reconnect with Hollywood appear to be faltering. Royal experts suggest that the couple's desire for a more private lifestyle might also contribute to their diminished presence at high-profile events.
