A stunned Hollywood froze as Meghan Markle faced a barrage of 2025 snubs—from Netflix excluding her As Ever products in their Dallas store launch to Kris Jenner omitting her from birthday party posts and the Real Housewives of London cast rejecting her outright.
The year began with Netflix’s high-profile Dallas experiential store opening in November 2025, showcasing celebrity collaborations—Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop, Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty, even Prince Harry’s Invictus Games merch—but conspicuously absent: Meghan’s As Ever jam, coffee, and lifestyle line launched earlier that year. Insiders whispered “corporate distancing” amid Archewell’s strained Netflix deal post-documentary flops.
Kris Jenner’s December 10 birthday bash—lavish, star-studded, Instagram-heavy—featured posts tagging Kim, Khloé, Kylie, and guests like Oprah, but no Meghan mention despite her Montecito proximity and past “friendship” signals. “It was deliberate,” a source told Page Six. “Kris curates her circle carefully.”
The sharpest cut: producers of Real Housewives of London (greenlit December 2025) rejected Meghan’s “interest” in a cameo, citing “brand mismatch.” Cast member Lady Victoria Hervey quipped on GB News: “We’re real housewives—she’s royalty adjacent. No fit.”
Meghan, via Archewell, called reports “misleading,” focusing on humanitarian work. Harry defended her on a podcast: “She’s stronger than they know.” Yet the snubs—raw, public—trended #MeghanSnubbed2025 with 4.2 million posts (70% sympathetic). Hollywood’s freeze—once welcoming, now icy—mirrored a shift: post-royal, post-Oprah, Meghan’s star dimmed amid perceived overexposure.
