Meghan Markle’s Absence Raises Eyebrows at Cleo Wade’s Birthday Bash
Meghan Markle was noticeably missing from the recent joint birthday celebration of Cleo Wade and Nicole Ritchie.
The extravagant party, held to commemorate Nicole turning 42 and Cleo's 34th birthday on September 13th, saw a gathering of close friends, including Cameron Diaz, Sophie Richie, and Rachel Zoe.
Cleo, engaged to Hollywood figure Simon Kinberg, enjoyed the festivities with a select group of fellow Virgos.
The absence of Meghan Markle at the bash sparked speculation, especially after a recent photo featuring her and Cleo together at a branch.
Meghan faced some teasing for not snagging an invite to the birthday event.
Meanwhile, Nicole Ritchie, known for her early reality show ventures and being the daughter of Lionel Ritchie, shares a unique bond with Cameron Diaz as sisters-in-law.
Cleo Wade, a renowned author, poet, and activist, who is often seen at Fashion Week events, is engaged to Simon Kinberg, an acclaimed filmmaker recognized for his work on scripts like X-Men and productions such as Deadpool and The Martian.

Prior to her engagement to Simon, Cleo was in a two-year relationship with Senator Cory Booker, a potential future presidential candidate with a significant following.
While Meghan Markle expressed interest in a role alongside Angelina Jolie in a reboot of the Mr. and Mrs. Smith series, she was not considered for any parts in the upcoming adaptation by Amazon Prime Studios.
Scriptwriter Simon Kinberg suggested that Meghan may not have fit the required flexibility for the role, aligning her image and brand with different expectations.
Recent actions, such as Cleo removing her name tag from a photo celebrating Meghan's birthday, hint at a possible strain in their friendship.
In a separate development, Meghan Markle's fashion choices have come under scrutiny following revelations about her involvement in the Invictus Games.
Royal commentator Daniel Zare highlighted Meghan's evolving fashion sense and speculated on her potential entry into the entrepreneurial world.
Zare also noted Meghan's recent partnership with Hollywood agent Ari Emanuel of WME, signaling a shift in her public image.
As Meghan navigates the complexities of her evolving role and relationships within the public eye, observers are left wondering about the dynamics behind her absence from Cleo Wade's birthday celebration.
