Julia Roberts Snubs Meghan Markle at A-List Female Stars Gathering

Ever since Meghan Markle relocated to California three years ago, she has been eager to establish a connection with her idol, Julia Roberts.

According to a source close to the Duchess, Meghan has been actively seeking to befriend Julia, who shares mutual friends with her, including George and Amal Clooney.

Both women have openly expressed their admiration for each other, with Julia even expressing her delight upon learning that Meghan's acting career was inspired by her iconic role in Pretty Woman.

Despite their common acquaintances, Meghan and Julia have only crossed paths a few times.

However, Meghan is determined to bridge the gap between them and explore potential collaborations, particularly in the realms of fashion and wellness initiatives.

Meghan, who is now venturing into production herself, is keen on finding a project that could involve Julia.

Unfortunately for Meghan, her aspirations to connect with Julia were put on hold as she was notably absent from the annual gathering of A-list female stars in California, where Julia Roberts was in attendance.

The star-studded event, which coincided with a high-end environmental initiative, brought together Hollywood luminaries in support of ocean conservation efforts.

The glamorous soirée took place at Ron and Kelly Mayer's Cliffside Estate, a property recently listed for a staggering $125 million.

Among the distinguished guests were Hollywood legends like Barbara Streisand, Jennifer Aniston, and Courtney Cox, who mingled with industry insiders like Randy Gerber, Cindy Crawford, and producer Mark Burnett.

The evening was further elevated by the presence of Netflix's Ted Sarandos and wife Nicole Levant, as well as Elizabeth Chambers Hammer and Priyanka Chopra.

Notably absent from the star-studded affair was Meghan Markle, who reportedly did not receive an invitation due to a past conflict with a prominent figure in attendance.

The source revealed that Meghan's fallout with Jennifer Mayer, a well-connected figure in Hollywood circles, had led to her exclusion from the event.

Meghan's decision to sell her diamonds, which resulted in a public fallout with Mayer, had seemingly closed doors to future interactions with A-list celebrities, including Jennifer Aniston.

In a bid to assert her independence during the tumultuous period following her departure from the royal family, Meghan had attempted to align herself with high-profile figures like Brad Pitt.

However, her efforts were met with indifference, leading to a sense of isolation within the celebrity social scene.

Meghan's estrangement from the Hollywood elite was further underscored by her absence from events like the one hosted by the Mayer family.

The Mayer siblings, known for their diverse pursuits in jewellery design, entrepreneurship, acting, and academics, played gracious hosts during the gathering, treating guests to a sumptuous dinner and musical performances by King Princess and Skip Marley.

The evening culminated in a surprise DJ set by Snoop Dogg, capping off a night of revelry and networking among Hollywood's elite.

For attendees like Leslie Mann, Judd Muld, and Iris Apatow, the event served as a family-friendly affair, with guests enjoying nostalgic tunes and engaging in spirited dance-offs.

Despite the absence of Meghan Markle, the gathering proved to be a memorable and star-studded affair, showcasing the camaraderie and glamour of Hollywood's A-list circle.
