No Second Chances With Meghan Markle: 'Ruthless' Duchess 'Ghosts' and Severs Friendships Without Warning Causing Distress Among Inner Circle

Meghan Markle has a long-running reputation for developing friendships with others, and then simply discarding them later "without warning."

This led royal author Ingrid Seward to tell an outlet, "Well, I think that Meghan has managed to alienate a lot of her former friends. She does something which is very distressing for people."

"She actually sort of just cuts them dead and ghosts them, as it's called," she added. "But to me, it's just called cutting them dead and not wanting to see them anymore. And if they upset her, that's what she does and it's very difficult to deal with somebody like that. I think that people are just fed up with Meghan."

For someone who champions mental health awareness, Meghan's gimmick of roping others in "and making them feel like they are pure gold only to throw them away is the most insidious form of narcissism," in the words of one Hollywood insider.

They added, "Nobody likes that kind of cutthroat behavior anymore. It is no longer fashionable, and she is not the diva she thinks she is."

Sophie, the then-Countess of Wessex, is perhaps the most famous ghosted friend in Meghan's repertoire. This became apparent after Prince Edward's wife tried to "assist" the former actress by talking to her about the expectations of royal life before the Suits star wed Prince Harry in May 2018.

"It was just the two of them, and they talked for hours," an insider spilled. "Meghan had so many questions, and Sophie, who knows what it’s like navigating your way through the early days of transition from a commoner to a royal, gave freely of her advice."

They continued: "Sophie found Meghan likable and engaging, and told her that she could call her any time when she needed advice about dealing with some of the trickier royals."

"[She's unfriended] family members, Suits costars, her best friend Jessica Mulroney whose children were page boys at the royal wedding," royal expert Charlotte Griffiths shared.

The term, getting "Markled," has even made it into the Urban Dictionary, which states that the expression is "to abandon someone or something after they've contributed to your life in a meaningful way."

"For somebody who is actually famous for unfriending her friends or casting aside her friends, it's amazing that she cited the word friendship in the blurb for this documentary that's sort of been leaked out," Griffiths added. "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."
