The entertainment industry was left in shock and mourning following the tragic passing of Matthew Perry, beloved actor known for his role as Chandler Bing in the iconic sitcom Friends.
Perry's untimely death occurred on Saturday, October 28th, under distressing circumstances, with reports suggesting an accidental drowning in a hot tub at his Los Angeles residence.
Despite an autopsy being conducted, the exact cause of his demise remains undetermined.
In the wake of Perry's passing, a wave of heartfelt tributes poured in from fellow celebrities, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Robin Lively, Elizabeth Hurley, Maggie Wheeler, Selma Blair, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Lisa Ann, Walter, Christina Ricci, and many others.
The outpouring of love and remembrance highlighted the profound impact Perry had on those around him, both professionally and personally.
Amidst the grieving process, disturbing reports surfaced on social media regarding talent agency WME's alleged attempt to involve Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in Perry's funeral arrangements.
The speculative move was met with vehement criticism, with accusations that Meghan was seeking to exploit the somber occasion for personal gain, likening it to a previous controversial appearance at an event in Yovaldi.
The rumored involvement of Meghan, characterized by some as a desperate bid for attention, drew sharp rebuke from within Hollywood circles.
Criticism intensified as it was suggested that Meghan's potential presence at the funeral would be met with strong opposition from Perry's close friends, such as Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston, who were purportedly prepared to prevent any disruption by the Duchess of Sussex.

The sentiment echoed widely, with sentiments expressing repulsion at the prospect of Meghan using the solemn event as a platform for personal promotion.
As discussions surrounding Meghan's speculated attendance continued, attention shifted to Prince Harry's recent comments linking himself to Matthew Perry's character, Chandler Bing, from Friends.
