'Abrupt' Meghan Markle 'ditched' Millie Mackintosh after she met Prince Harry
The ladies were once firm friendsMeghan Markle was once blasted by her former friend, Made in Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh.
The pair met at an event in Turkey and grew closer when Meghan moved to London, with Millie even giving the royal “all her contacts” to help her settle in.
However, Millie claimed that Meghan not long after “snubbed” her, with her messages becoming “abrupt” and then fading out altogether.
Millie Mackintosh on Meghan Markle friendship
Speaking on her podcast, Mumlemmas, back in 2023, Millie shared how she had started a friendship with Meghan.
“About eight years ago, I went to the opening of a hotel in Istanbul and I met Meghan Markle,” she told co-host Charlie Boud.
“I was a fan, I watched Suits, and we met at the bar, and we were both ordering a drink at the same time, I started chatting. We got on really well, we got on like a house on fire, and just stayed in touch.”

Millie was excited when Meghan then moved to her hometown: “We went to lunch, she didn’t know London very well, she’d never been to Chelsea, so I took her to The Ivy on King’s Road.”
She claims she went out of her way to help Meghan settle into her new home: “She didn’t know anyone, so I gave her the best places to get your nails done, basically my little black book. I gave her all my contacts.”
Millie said that in return, Meghan offered her advice on her marriage breakdown.

However, she claimed things suddenly changed when a certain Prince Harry came on the scene.
When Millie heard the Harry/Meghan dating rumours, she apparently “messaged her and said: ‘Hey I hope you’re okay, thinking of you.'”
But she said she was shocked to receive “a really abrupt message” back from Meghan, “that was really unlike any of our communications before”. She claimed she never heard a word from Meghan since.
“I felt like she’d basically told me to [bleep] off in that message. So I did. And we haven’t spoken since.”
