Snubbed By The Snob

[Blind Gossip] This actress is getting married this year. She invited a future female relative to a girls-only pre-wedding celebration.

The future female relative declined.

The actress was insulted.

However, she just can’t say she was insulted.

If she tries to make a thing out of it, she looks bad. She was actually very insulted. This wasn’t some huge, wild event. It was a few close friends getting together and it was her chance to show [her future relative] how “normal” her friends are. [Future Relative] didn’t need to stay for the whole thing. It was local, so she could have done just a quick pop by to say hello. She couldn’t spare five freaking minutes of her precious time? Now [Actress] has to pretend that everything is fine so it doesn’t look like she got snubbed.

    Megan Markle and Kate Middleton.

    Kate is always going for talks and events while she is heavily pregnant so that shouldn’t necessarily stop her for going to Megan’s event. She doesnt have to stay for the whole thing. I think she should do it for Harry and to prevent awkwardness.

    It would be nice if they got along though. They don’t have to be BFFs, at least on good terms.

  3. hazura jane says

    Meghan Markle and a female relative of Prince Harry. This whole thing will likely end with tears.

  4. Pennypenny says

    Meghan and Kate
    I think it’s incredibly rude. Kate doesn’t have any female friends and it’s easy to see why. I’m surprised she isn’t going, she really doesn’t seem to care about anyone but herself.

  5. PinkFlamingo says

    Waity Katie is getting a tad too big for her britches, pregnancy notwithstanding. She’s feeling threatened by Meghan’s popularity, and also by the fact that Meghan has dived head-first into royal work, which the Bill Middletons seem to avoid like the plague. Harry is already the most popular and well-liked Royal, after the Queen, and, by association, Meghan is poised to become the next star of the Royal Family among the public. And I freaking LOVE IT.

  6. newyorkcity17 says

    Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton. I would say part of it is that Kate has two little ones and is very pregnant at this point, so by the time they have a Hen party (if they haven’t already) she’d either have a newborn, or be 8 or 9 months pregnant. I think they probably get along fine.

  7. katekatekate says

    This marriage will end in a few years. Why bother investing any time in the charade?

  8. shesboss says

    DOC/ Harry’s fiancé

    First, DOC/Wm are known to be VERY private for obv reasons. Wm has a history of testing others post Diana’s death (his mom) to see if they leaked info to the press/media. So given that this isn’t the first story about DOC’s run in with MM and having seen like MM was wronged then who can blame DOC for prob not trusting her future SIL to be discrete and stop leaking info (to one of her media BFFs).

  9. Lee Bee says

    Meghan Markle
    Catherine, Duchess of Windsor

    Pregnant women aren’t allowed to go to get foot messages or be in saunas. The fumes can also be nauseating, so no quick drop-ins. Plus, in addition to her duties, she has two little ones and a husband. By all accounts, Ms. Markle has been treated with warmth and respect by William and Kate.

    If there are hard feelings, Ms. Markle will have a tough go of it in the Firm. She will not be fawned upon as she was in the US.

  10. Ginger says

    Kate is wise to not get too chummy. This girl is writing a tell all book in four years.

  11. reen57 says

    You have to wonder how much of Catherine’s so called snubbing of Meghan was instigated by dislike, or maybe a desire not to be told what to do by lesser mortals, or advised not to go by those at the palace that are jealous of Sparkles. I get a feeling that Harry and Meghan will work well together, which will be the focus of their relationship. This is more than I can say for Catherine, who is apparently allergic to making appearances, She does have help raising the kids.

  12. SeraphinaDustyBoots says

    Meg and Kate.

    Does not surprise me that Kate said no because she is towards the end of her pregnancy.

  13. RudePostItNotes says

    Actress ~ Megan Markle
    Future relative ~ Kate Middleton
    Possibly though ~ Pippa Middleton (maybe?)

    If it is Kate, while she has been snooty to Megan Markle, she is pregnant and due in April. It is well-known she suffers from hyperemesis gravida, and it persists her entire pregnancy, I also suffered from that with both my pregnancies, and it put me in the hospital.
    If it is Pippa Middleton, sometimes it is easier to be nice than petty. I don’t know.

  14. ashley084 says

    Markle and Kate Middleton. I don’t blame Kate one bit. She probably didn’t go for the same reason I wouldn’t go – neither MeAgain, nor her friends, can keep their traps shut. The fact that this story came out is only further proof of that. When you’re in the BRF, you don’t talk to the press. I’d keep my distance, too, to protect my small children and my family’s privacy.

    • shesboss says

      Agreed. It’s obvious she’s not able to be discrete or keep private family issues…private. Catherine isn’t the one looking bad and Wm may have advised against it. Harry of anyone should respect and get the need to trust those closest. I didn’t go to my step daughter’s bridal party and she was mature enough to see why and moved on. No drama.

  15. Beautiful_Stranger says

    Meghan Clarke
    Kate Middleton

    Wow! Kate is a * for doing that. Not an English thing at all to be so straight up rude. It’s not about being close. Meghan did the right thing by inviting her. Even if she didn’t like her, she should have invited her. Following this logic, Kate should have gone.

  16. discod says

    Megan Markle and Kate. I think it’s important to at least appear close, but I also think Megan’s intentions are not love-related.

  17. crazycatlady says

    Actress: Megan Markle

    Future Female Relative: Kate

    [Optional] Is it important for Actress to be close to Future Relative? Well, it looks good if she is. Kate will be queen one day.

  19. pj33558 says

    Actress: Markle
    Future Relative: Kate

    Yes, she must now follow the rules of the firm and Kate will be Queen one day… Markle will have to curtsy and bow and become 2nd fiddle to everything Kate wants/does. Best to learn early and navigate.

  20. kflores says

    Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton.
    For Meghan’s sake, I hope this isn’t true because it makes her sound insufferably self-important. Kate is 8 months pregnant and is still on her feet doing lots of public engagements. If she doesn’t want to go to a party, she certainly doesn’t have to.

  22. shesherlocked says

    Clearly Ms. Markle and future SIL Duchess Kate

    I can see why she’s distancing herself… there was a big deal made of Kate not being a royal and considered a lowly commoner in spite of her high brow family.

    With Megan’s background I’m guessing Kate is a) offended that she’s been accepted so easily into the family and by the public (sorry Kate, she’s not marrying the 3rd in line for the throne!) and b) that people will compare them, since Kate sees herself as much more regal than…

  23. Arisia says

    Actress: Meghan Markle

    Future Female Relative: Kate Middleton

    Is it important for Actress to be close to Future Relative? I don’t know. But if Kate wants to keep her distance except for obligatory public appearances, I don’t think there’s a whole lot Meghan can do about it. Quite honestly, she should have expected to get snubbed. I find it kind of amazing she’s gotten the degree of acceptance that she has.

  24. Aurelia says

    Actress: Meghan Markel (sp?)
    Future In Law: Kate Middleton, who despite all her PR, wants to be The Queen Of England. Why else snub Meghan?

  25. Sandy24 says

    Meghan Markle
    Kate Middleton
    Don’t blame her, she’s a mom of two and pregnant…and I think she secretly disapproves…time will tell if she’s right
    Optional: only if there is real chemistry

  26. Girlfriend says

    Actress: Megan Markle

    Future Female Relative: The future sis in law Kate

    [Optional] Is it important for Actress to be close to Future Relative? In their world it probably is.

  27. pflower says

    Poor meghan markle wanted to bond with future sis in law kate Middleton. Just don’t push it meghan, you both have very busy lives as it is.

  35. grozer says

    Meghan Markle and Duchess Kate?

    If so, things are off to a salty start, and it only gets harder from here… Hope you know what you’ve signed up for, girl!

  37. rebeccadewinter says

    Meghan Markle
    Duchess of Cambridge

    Kate not going to the hen do? She is quite pregnant now, not to make excuses for the idle woman.

    One day, like it or not, she’s going to be Queen so probably best to get on with her.

  38. Wales75 says

    I think this is Meghan Markle and Catherine Middleton. Catherine might be the snubber.

  39. ladybee905078 says

    Meghan Markle

    The Duchess of Cambridge

    Yes. But she has to understand the Duchess is 8 month pregnant and still working right now. No time for everything.

  41. wendybar says

    Megan Markle…Not sure about Harry’s relative…I will say Princess Eugenie!

  42. totoro1988 says

    Actress: Megan Markle

    Future Female Relative: Either Kate or Pippa Middleton!?

  44. doppiavu says

    Meghan Markle
    Duchess of Cambridge (Kate)
    Yes, they live next door to each other.

  48. honeybunnyy says

    Megham Markle,

    Catherin Middleton.

    Not really. They should get along but not more than necessary – which seems to be the point the duchess is making.

  50. thelasthigh says

    megan markel

    kate middleton

    not snobby. they’ll become close after the marriage. she’s a busy mother of 3. there’s no telling if she didn’t have 5 minutes to spare. leaking this info was tacky of megan or her “close friends” so kate was wise to steer clear.

    • thelasthigh says

      not to mention kate is heavily pregnant and canceling work engagements due to pregnancy difficulties, so to criticize her for skipping a party while 8 months pregnant is beyond rude!

  51. WillowPotter says

    Megyn Markle

    The Duchess Cate of Cambridge

    Yes, but Kate thinks she (Megyn ) is an opportunist ( it takes one to know one ), plus, Megyn won’t have that kind of life once she becomes a royal.

  55. blackcoffee28 says

    Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton?

    I think it’s important for them to be polite and to get along but she shouldn’t in any way expect to become friends. As an American married into a British family I think there’s a bit of a freeze out that happens until they know you better.

  56. henway says

    Actress: Meghan Markle

    Future Female Relative: Kate Middleton

    Optional: If she genuinely wants to be close to her

  58. Kingofboggle says

    Megan mahrkle
    Kate Middleton

    I would think if you lived under that much scrutiny you would want as many allies as you can get. Only a handful of people in the world understand the fame of royalty. Kate is 8 months pregnant. And the party was a spa day. If she was feeling crappy you don’t want to “pop in” on a spa day. If it was a brunch and she snubbed the invite… that would be cold

  59. gunther85 says

    Meghan Markle
    Kate Middleton
    To a certain extent, but as long as they’re cordial, i don’t think it’s imperative. The brothers will always be close and will raise their children the same, but their wives don’t need to be besties. Forcing it will only make things uncomfortable.

  60. Max Power says

    Meghan Markle
    Beatrice or Eugenie are often portrayed as being snobby so I’ll guess one of them

  66. jacqueline84 says

    Actress: Meghan Markle
    Future Female Relative: Duchess of Cambridge

    Optional: Optically in this family, yes.

  69. shazwois says

    Actress – Meghan Markle
    Future Female Relative – Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge

    It’s important that the whole family get along. Family is family regardless of royal bloodlines.

  71. CelebrityGirl says

    Actress: Meghan Markle

    Future Female Relative: Princess Kate

    [Optional] Is it important for Actress to be close to Future Relative? I guess it’s not essential, but I’m sure it’ll make her life MUCH easier.

  73. missluv60 says

    Meghan
    The Duchess
    They Don’t have to be super close, but hopefully they will have a cordial and friendly relationship.

  74. spookie says

    That’ll be Kate Middleton being too up herself to go to Meghan Markle’s pre-wedding girls’ party.

  75. deezy says

    Bride to be: Meghan Markel
    Future Relative: Princess Kate, of course
    Optional: Not necessary, but considering how close the brothers seem to be, I’m sure it would be helpful.

  81. Meggiejean13 says

    I really hope this is Megan Markle & Kate Middleton. If Sparkles wants to keep climbing that social ladder, it’s probably pretty important she’s on her good side.

  82. flower says

    Actress: Meghan Markle

    Future Female Relative: Kate Middleton (Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge)

    [Optional] Is it important for Actress to be close to Future Relative? Very important. It says a lot about how the royal family feels about this wedding.

  84. LizzieBennet says

    Actress: Meghan Markle

    Future female relative: the Duchess of Cambridge (a.k.a. Kate Middleton)

  85. zappy2050 says

    I would have been SHOCKED if Kate Middleton had gone to this shindig.
    First, Kate will one day be THE Queen. That day is probably sooner, rather than later.
    Second, Kate is a capricorn like myself. We are not calculating – but we think long and hard about what we are doing to do – and the implications – before doing it. In essence, we are cautious – I am sure Kate is being mentored by the Queen.

    I think Meghan needs friends but Kate will handle her professionally – like the Queen.

  86. KCeagle says

    Meghan Markel
    Kate Middleton ?

    They don’t have to necessarily be close BFF’s just not dysfunctionally hostile towards each other. It was a snub whoever the grande dame was. I’d get even by throwing a future by invitation only soiree that’s the talk of the town and leaving the wicked witch off the list.

  87. JHntr113 says

    Megan Markle
    The Duchess of Cambridge

    Optional: Not really, but it would help. The princes are pretty close

  89. cybergirl says

    Obviously Meghan and Kate. I hope Meghan knows what she is getting herself into

  93. Raoul Duke says

    Meghan Markle
    Kate Middleton

    Kate is in her last weeks of her pregnancy, and has two toddlers. Cut her some slack, and who wants to meet a bunch of new people in your last trimester had have to be “on.”

  94. Mbowie says

    Actress: Meaghan Markle
    Future Relative: Dutchess Catherine aka Kate
    Does it matter: Not really. The spouses of Charles/Andrew/Edward are/were not close either. Other than holidays, photo ops and royal duties I cannot see how they have much, if anything, in common.

  95. Gerseychick says

    Meghan the divorced actress, has an agenda Markle
    Beautiful Regal Kate…………………………
    The Actress should get use to it.She is very far down the list….And will always be at the bottom of the list in Royal Circles………………..

  97. JenLTX says

    Seriously? It’s a miracle Kate’s able to do anything, given that she spends the majority of her pregnancies 1) vomiting, 2) trying not to vomit, or 3) in the hospital, getting IVs due to all the vomiting. Plus she’s got George and Charlotte this time. She’s a trooper, she does the necessary royal engagements and she looks EXHAUSTED. So, Meghan, sorry she can’t make your hen night, but if you’re getting your panties in a knot NOW, your life as a member of The Firm is going to be…

  99. High Steppa says

    Meghan M. and Catherine, Dutchess of Cambridge. Ms. Kate is just obeying royal protocol I imagine. Whatever that may be.

  103. quickchick says

    Meghan Markle

    Duchess Kate

    She ought to be, but she’s Hollywood. She’ll be anything but royal.

  104. GretaGuesses says

    Sounds like Sparkles Markle got snubbed. I don’t know who snubbed her…Eugenie, Beatrice, Kate?? Harry is as thick as mud and has been played. Sparkles won’t play second fiddle to anyone, not to Harry, William, Kate, or probably even the Queen, etc.

  108. Squirrelnutkin says

    Meghan Markle and Catherine. Wow, juicy gossip! I was wondering why Kate didn’t go to her hen party. This is seriously entertaining… getting my popcorn out!
    Yes, I’d say it’s very important for Meghan to be close to Kate. But the reverse is probably not true… which is why Kate was a no-show.

    • vanillasky says

      No it’s not important for them to be close. Sparkles is trying climb that ladder. It’s desperate.

  110. dadiegirl says

    Megan. Got dissed by Kate. I don’t think she’d be inviting Camilla to anything.

    • dadiegirl says

      And let me add, she’s so thirsty for Kate’s friendship. Just go with the flow. It will happen naturally….or not! LOL

  111. Neo2013 says

    Meaghan Markle
    Kate Middleton
    Yes. They both will live at Kensington and in close proximity

  112. dolls4marybeth says

    Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton. Meghan had or is having a spa day with some friends and Kate supposedly has the flu.

  115. MrsBreeder says

    Meghan Markle and the Duchess of Cambridge.

    It is hard for me to say whether or not she should have visited the “get-together.” Perhaps Kate sees more about Meghan’s true side that apparently Harry doesn’t? Or perhaps she is just tired, pregnant or wanting to spend time with her kids before the new birth?

    I would LOVE to know what William and Kate really think of her. I do not think they have to be close, but they will be FAMILY. They should try to get along and be civil.

  116. traherne says

    Megan Markle (sp) and Kate Middleton.

    I don’t like Markle, but Middleton needs to get off her pedestal and be minimally cordial to her future sister in law.

    • viksville77 says

      Shes 8 months pregnant so a spa day probably wouldn’t be pratical for her tbh.

  118. amagod121 says

    Ruh-roh. Dutchess Kate snubbed Sparkles Markle. That wasn’t very nice of her.

    Optional: Maybe. Could drive a wedge between William and Harry.

  120. Kathleen61204 says

    Actress: Meghan Markle

    Future Female Relative: Duchess Catherine

    [Optional] Is it important for Actress to be close to Future Relative? No, I am not close to my in-laws so why is it important for Catherine to be close to her? She is pregnant and has two children to raise before the birth of the third.

  124. MizGrandma says

    Meghan Markle
    Duchess Kate
    Yes, very important because they are to be sisters-in-law to very close brothers, & Meghan is also going to need Kate’s help in fitting into “The Company.”

  126. tmartex says

    If this is about Meghan Markle and Dutchess Catherine (future Queen of England), of course Catherine is not going to hang out with Meghan and her friends. Who ever thought/believed she would? That doesn’t make her a snob, it means she’s either smart or well advised.

  128. Dragon Lady says

    Actress: Meghan Markle
    Future Female Relative: Kate Middleton (Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge)

  129. ivy3499 says

    So this is Meghan Markle and I’m guessing Kate Middleton. I mean the woman is 8 months pregnant w two small kids at home- give her a break. I wouldn’t go if I was in that state either!

  130. ILUVCA4evr says

    Megan Markle

    Everyone will say Princess Catherine but I’m going with Zara Tindall

    She needs as many friends she can get in that family.

  131. MaryQuiteContrary says

    Actress: Meghan Markle

    Future Female Relative: Kate? Camilla? The Queen?

    [Optional] Is it important for Actress to be close to Future Relative? She’s going to be awfully isolated in that life so I sure hope she’s got a good confidante or two. She’ll need them.

  132. jenvies says

    Is that Colin Hanks in the picture?

    Young royal drama. Hopefully made up. Those kids deserve a peaceful life.

  133. angelbratt says

    Meghan Markle

    Kate Middleton

    It’s very important, Kate is the mother of the future king of England

  136. judylouise says

    Kate Middleton. She doesn’t have any real friends, so don’t be offended, Megan.

  139. Baileygirl says

    Meghan Markle and The Princess Royal Anne. Anne probably thinks it will be a younger set and didn’t want to intrude, however if she was invited she could always pop in for 20 minutes and have a beverage and congratulate the bride.
    Anne is like her father Prince Phillip and is a no nonsense kind of gal. Or she is sending a message that she has no intention of socializing with Meghan unless she absolutely has to such as the wedding.
    Second guess: Camilla. They say the boys are OK with her…

  141. Ellis Bell says

    Actress: Meghan Markle

    Future Female Relative: Duchess of Cambridge (Kate)

    [Optional] Is it important for Actress to be close to Future Relative? No, Kate’s probably biding her time until Harry divorces Markle.

  144. pigerella says

    Meghan Markle
    Kate Middleton

    Optional: It’s probably important to appear to be close. I would think Kate would “pop in” for that reason as well. I feel for both of them. I shudder at the thought of hanging out with some of my inlaws too. Lol.

  146. Theonewhoknows says

    Meghan Markle
    Kate Middleton
    Let’s not forget she’s just another commoner who married extremely well.

  148. jamester792 says

    Megan Markle and Pippa Middleton

    I wouldn’t gaf to be honest. I have my own friends.

  149. RadiantA says

    Meghan Markle and Princess Kate. Not important. Americans are so weird about weddings and family stuff.

    • RadiantA says

      Also Kate is super pregnant and always suffers through her pregnancies so it’s really selfish of Meghan to expect her to attend.

  150. Monysmom says

    Actress: Meghan Markle

    Future Female Relative: Kate, The Duchess of Cambridge
    [Optional] Is it important for Actress to be close to Future Relative? yes, even if it is for no other reason than William and Harry are close.

  151. redstilettos says

    Meghan Markle
    Kate Middleton
    It’s not a bad idea. I think I read they did a spa day.

  154. NativeAtlantaGirl says

    Megan & Princess Kate

    Kate is 8mos preggo, so I think that excuses her from being a show-pony for Megan. I doubt Kate and Royals beyond Harry & William will welcome her. And I think this will not end well.

    • Bunniest says

      The accidentally-on-purpose Blackamoor brooch Prince Michael of Kent decided to wear pretty much sums it up, doesn’t it?

      I think Harry found a Pippa lookalike and didn’t exactly think this through, especially if Megs was acting like she cared about the same stuff he did.

    • PollyMetropolitan says

      I thought the same thing about Kate being far along in her pregnancy, and the last thing she probably feels like doing is going to a hen party full of women she doesn’t know.

    • whateverwillbe14 says

      I haven’t really like Mehgan and this announcement of this royal match. She just seems fake, shady and something is off about her. But she’s definitely being selfish as f* if she thinks heavily pregnant Kate should be at her little party because she wants to look like she is normal. That is not Kate’s job and given she’s an actress, appearing to be normal should be a breeze for her.

  155. Galanking says

    Actress: Meghan Markle

    Future Female Relative: Kate Middleton

    [Optional] Is it important for Actress to be close to Future Relative? Yes, it is, because Kate’s the future queen and her opinion weights on William. But I’m glad Kate declined. Meghan’s just a gold digger.

    • tellmemore says

      I completely agree. It’s in Meghan’s best interest to cozy up to the family because she’s a social climber. She’ll have a couple of babies ASAP and be set for life, even if the marriage doesn’t last.

    • carriebradshaw says

      + the whole story would be in media in 5 minutes like everything about poor Meghan and the royals. None of Harry’s girlfriends has such disloyal “friends” so probably she leaked everything herself.

  156. GossipGirlXoXo2 says

    Meghan Markle
    Kate Middleton

    I would think it’s important to be close to any relative considering they will be family soon.

  159. lurkerbelle says

    Actress: Meghan Markle

    Future Female Relative: Kate Middleton / Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge

    [Optional]: Given Meghan’s popularity and Kate’s rep as someone who avoids work, not being at least friendly to Meghan will look super bad for Kate.

    • dizzygirl says

      agreed.. This is going to come back to bite Kate in the butt. Until & unless Meghan does or says something entirely out of line, Kate should extend a hand & try to smooth the way for Meghan. It is only to her advantage to do so. Her snub could lead to a terrible awkwardness for Will & Harry and that’s not good for anyone. Chin up, Kate. Get to work!!

    • queenmother8 says

      I find it more disturbing that she would plan a royal wedding so close to Kate’s due date. If it’s that important to you that she participate then push your plans back. If it’s not then shut the * up and move along.

    • Nataliexyz says

      If you read the blind, it is all about Markle. SHE wants to show that SHE has normal friends. Like Kate gives a rip about who Markle’s close friends are? I don’t blame her for not going. She shouldn’t feel obligated to attend a non-family “girls pre-wedding party” for someone I’m going to guess she tolerates at best. Add a pregnancy and two little ones at home, I’d decline as well.

    • totskie says

      Kate is heavily pregnant and has always been ill during her pregnancies, she doesn’t have to pander to golddigger Markle.

    • Shiba6Peony178 says

      Kate doesn’t have to worry about anyone else, her place is secure. Meghan will never outshine her. There are some very devoted Harry fans (and blogs) who truly believe the Harry and Meghan wedding won’t be happening. These devoted fans believe Harry is currently blind to Meghan and will eventually wake up and stop the wedding plans. Right. I seriously doubt the Royal Family would let this wedding go forward without heavily vetting Meghan.

    • thisisannoying says

      Her what! Her popularity??? Where???

      Good on Kate for rejecting her invitation.

  160. FiyahHotFlashy says

    Actress: Megan Markle
    Future Female Relative: Duchess Kate
    It would be nice that they get along
