A Royal Snub: Meghan Markle Excluded from Star-Studded Dinner in Los Angeles
The decision to exclude Meghan Markle from a star-studded dinner in Los Angeles, despite Oprah's intervention, has raised eyebrows.
Vogue covered the exclusive event, which saw the likes of Oprah, Jennifer Lopez, and Ben Affleck enjoying an intimate dinner with Brunello Cucinelli.
The guest list also included Chris Pine, Demi Moore, and even a chihuahua in a bag, along with other celebrities.
Despite the star-studded affair, there was a palpable sense of connection among the attendees.
The Cucinelli family, who recently made Los Angeles their second home, shared a deep bond with Friends of the Brandon Leigh.
Each person present either had a personal connection to the Cucinelli family or was a friend of Mitch.
However, noticeably absent from the event was Meghan Markle, leaving many to speculate about the guest list and the reasons behind her exclusion.
Rumors swirled about a possible connection between Meghan's absence and a mysterious reference to someone's wife.
According to a source, the presence of Oprah in the group was seen as unusual.
An insider hinted that Oprah and Meghan were a couple, but only Oprah was welcomed when they attempted to join Jennifer Lopez and Ben's group.
This strongly suggests that Meghan was deliberately left out from the beginning.
The absence of Meghan at the dinner was evident as she was not seen socializing with the celebrities in attendance.
As guests descended into the Chateau Marmont Salon for an evening of luxury hosted by Brunello Cucinelli himself, the ambiance exuded elegance and sophistication.
Attendees, adorned in Bruno Cucinelli's fashion, epitomized understated luxury with impeccable tailoring and tasteful embellishments.
The Italian-themed evening, Una Serrata Italiana, brought together members of the Cucinelli family, along with A-list celebrities such as Oprah, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, and others.
Notably missing from the gathering was Meghan Markle, despite Oprah's efforts to include her.
Reports suggest that some guests, including Gwyneth Paltrow, were not receptive to Meghan's presence.
Guests at the dinner were required to relinquish their phones and engage in conversation over a family-style meal.
This setting may have posed a challenge for Meghan, given her background.
It appears that Meghan's return to Hollywood, coupled with her royal title and reputation for prying and manipulation, did not sit well with many industry insiders.
Speculation arose following rumors that Meghan intended to emulate Gwyneth Paltrow's success with her wellness brand, Goop.
Meghan's alleged attempt to purchase Goop and her subsequent efforts to befriend Paltrow hinted at her aspirations to launch a similar venture.
However, Meghan's ambitions seemed to have faced resistance within Hollywood circles, further isolating her from the industry's elite.
