Meghan Markle's 'circle of friends has reduced greatly', says PR expert

Watch the full episode eight of Yahoo UK’s show ‘The Royal Box‘, here from Friday 28 September.

Ever since Meghan Markle started dating Prince Harry in 2016, the world has wanted to know everything about the former Suits actress.

Before that, Meghan was well known within the celebrity circuit and even had her own lifestyle website The Tig.

When she married into the royal family in May however, the Duchess has reportedly lost touch with some of her friends.

She has also been dealing with her fair share of family drama. Her father Thomas Markle and half-sister Samantha have spoken to the press and given interviews.

Speaking on Yahoo UK’s show The Royal Box, Nick Ede, a PR and brand consultant said: “Meghan had a lot of friends and that circle has reduced greatly.”

He added: “So that now circle is a tight circle of people she can trust.”

The Duchess regularly shared photos of her friends on their travels on her Instagram page before she deleted her social media accounts.

She counts Canadian fashion stylist Jessica Mulroney, professional tennis player Serena Williams and actress Priyanka Chopra as pals, all of whom attended her wedding.
