Meghan Markle’s Former Best Friend Brands Her a Strategic Social Climber
Ninaki Priddy, once the closest confidante and maid of honor to Meghan Markle, has come forward with damning accusations against the Duchess of Sussex, painting her as a calculated individual who strategically advanced her social and professional status at the expense of personal relationships, including her first marriage.
Priddy, who met Markle at a young age in a Hollywood daycare and remained friends for over three decades, shares a stark portrayal of Meghan’s rise to prominence. Their friendship soured, according to Priddy, due to Meghan’s handling of her marriage to producer Trevor Engelson. “Meghan was calculated in her approach to relationships and friendships. Once she deems you non-essential, her warmth fades,” Priddy asserted in an interview with Globe magazine.
The breakdown of Meghan’s marriage to Engelson, where Priddy served as maid of honor, coincided with Meghan’s growing fame from her role in “Suits.” The geographical divide, with Meghan in Toronto and Engelson in L.A., contributed to the marriage’s collapse. According to Priddy, Engelson felt abandoned and was willing to go to great lengths to salvage the relationship, but to no avail.
Post-divorce, Meghan’s rapport with her longstanding friends, including Priddy, deteriorated. Priddy notes a significant shift in Meghan’s demeanor and availability, attributing it to the pressures and allure of her burgeoning acting career. “She became less accessible, and it was clear that I was no longer part of her inner circle,” Priddy recounted, highlighting the end of their long-standing friendship.
Priddy’s insights offer a rare glimpse into Meghan Markle’s personal evolution, from a Hollywood actress to a prominent figure in the British royal family. This narrative adds to the ongoing public discourse on Meghan’s life decisions, her rise to fame, and the implications of her actions on her personal relationships.
