Outrage Sparks as Sophie Trudeau Sends Brutal Swipe, Revealing Secret After Meghan Markle Snub
The royal world is abuzz with outrage as Sophie Trudeau, the former wife of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, delivered a brutal swipe at Meghan Markle, revealing a closely guarded secret after the Duchess of Sussex’s perceived snub.
According to a report by Daily Express, in a stunning 10-word statement to The Times earlier this year, Sophie curtly remarked, “I know her… but we haven’t spent much time together.”
This terse response stands in stark contrast to Meghan’s portrayal of their relationship on her now-defunct podcast, Archetypes, where she described a day of laughter and fun spent with Sophie at her Montecito mansion, with their children playing in the swimming pool on pizza-shaped floats.
Meghan had gushed about how Sophie used to send her “little meditations” during her pregnancy and voice notes “of encouragement” to the Duchess.
She had also recounted how they drank wine on her terrace and were “giddy like absolute schoolgirls.”
However, during the interview, Sophie shifted the focus to Meghan’s sister-in-law, Princess Kate, revealing that her “heart just sunk” when she heard about Kate’s cancer diagnosis.
According to the book “Finding Freedom,” Meghan became friendly with Sophie in 2016 after meeting her husband Justin, who has been Canada’s prime minister since 2015, at the One Young World summit in Ottawa that year.
The authors, Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, claim, “The pair became fast email friends, Meghan was interested to hear how Sophie had successfully made the move from an entertainment news correspondent to much-beloved First Lady, all while skillfully dodging controversy.”
In November 2022, Meghan invited Sophie onto her Spotify podcast Archetypes, where the pair spoke about the challenges of parenting and being a partner to Justin and Harry.
Meghan introduced Sophie as a “humanitarian mother” she met in Toronto, where Meghan was living while filming the hit TV show “Suits.”
It remains unclear why Sophie did not confirm an existing friendship with Meghan, but the Duchess has also been criticized for her “strategic friendship” with former best friend Jessica Mulroney.
Royal commentator Charlotte Griffiths has accused Meghan of being quick to discard friendships, particularly in light of her apparent distancing from Mulroney in recent years.
Griffiths referred to the term “Markled,” a slang term from the Urban Dictionary which describes someone who cuts ties with a friend after they’ve made a significant contribution to their life.
“I think she’s a bit strategic with her friends and once she’s finished with them, she casts them aside and forgets all about them, deletes their number and blocks their number in some cases,” Griffiths said on the podcast “Palace Confidential.”
Jessica and Meghan have not been seen together publicly recently, and Jessica did not feature in the couple’s Netflix series, in which other friends of Harry and Meghan were interviewed.
This incident with Sophie Trudeau further fuels speculation about Meghan’s ability to maintain long-lasting friendships, particularly in the public eye.
It also raises questions about the authenticity of the relationships she portrays in her various media ventures.
As Meghan and Harry continue to navigate their post-royal lives, the Duchess’s approach to friendships and public perception will undoubtedly remain a topic of scrutiny and discussion.
The outrage sparked by Sophie Trudeau’s brutal swipe and revelation of a closely guarded secret has ignited a firestorm of controversy, casting doubt on Meghan’s portrayal of her relationships and her ability to maintain genuine connections.
This incident has added fuel to the ongoing debate surrounding the Duchess’s public image and her handling of personal relationships in the spotlight.
As the royal saga continues to unfold, the world watches with bated breath, eager to unravel the truth behind the veil of secrecy and speculation surrounding Meghan Markle’s inner circle.
