There was a time when Kim Kardashian seemed to be on the cusp of entering into a lucrative business deal with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but it looks like that’s all over.
Kim Kardashian has changed her mind on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been dealt another blow as Kim Kardashian has reportedly turned her back on the pair.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been working hard to build their Hollywood career, producing a podcast and even creating various content for Netflix. However, the pair have been surrounded by controversy in recent weeks.
Their latest Netflix project Polo was a flop and Harry and Meghan were recently the subjects of a damning Vanity Fair article. Amid the drama, a source has suggested several A-list celebrities no longer want to work with the Sussexes – and Kim is one of them.
“Unfortunately, there’s a perception that Meghan and Harry are a couple of real try-hards,” the source claimed. As a result, some stars are said to “bristle at the mention of their name.”
Kim Kardashian had been plotting a collaboration
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been surrounded by scandal
At one time, it looked like Meghan and Harry were going to partner with the Kardashian family. Meghan’s mom Doria Ragland was seen hanging out with Kim and Kris Jenner in April last year, while Meghan and Harry met with Kris during Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi’s vow renewal.
While Kim was reportedly once all for a Kardashian-royal collaboration, it seems she’s now changed her mind. “As much as Kim respects her mum Kris’ choice to support them, she doesn’t want to be associated with anyone that’s controversial unless they really are a great benefit to her,” a source told Closer Magazine.
They added, “As far as she can tell, there’s not much benefit to hanging out with the Sussexes.” The comments come following reports Meghan has been eying up a Kardashian friendship.
Meghan is reportedly planning a dinner date with Kim’s sister Kourtney Kardashian. A source has suggested Meghan has been impressed by Kourtney’s work with Poosh and “reads it all the time.” It’s believed the former Suits actress is also a big fan of Kourtney’s Lemme supplements.
In a lot of ways, she and Kourtney are similar, they’re both these granola types that are super devoted moms,” the source said. To make Meghan’s plan easier, the pair already have friends in common.
Both Kourtney and Meghan are close with Skye Hoppus, who’s married to Blink-182 star Mark Hoppus. Kourtney became close to Skye following her marriage to Travis Barker.
The source suggested Meghan also believes Travis will get along well with her own husband, Prince Harry. Speaking to InTouch Magazine, they explained, “Meghan knows Harry would enjoy meeting Travis and thinks they would all get along well, she thinks it would be fun and that’s something she and Harry are looking to add to their life in the coming year.”
