Meghan Markle has, allegedly, been dumping her friends strategically. And a tabloid claimed that she has been encouraging Prince Harry to do the same.

According to Woman UK, the Duchess of Sussex has cut ties with a handful of her pals since she and Prince Harry started dating.

The friend-dumping trend, allegedly, started with her childhood best friend, Ninaki Priddy. While speaking with Daily Mail, Priddy said that she and Markle lost touch shortly after the Suits alum her marriage to Trevor Engelson.

During the interview, the jewelry designer described Markle as cold. Priddy also said that the Duchess of Sussex is very calculated.

Before Markle and Prince Harry tied the knot, the royal couple had a falling out with Thomas Markle Sr. The former lighting director appeared in staged photographs for Daily Mail weeks before the royal wedding.

Thomas also spoke to different tabloids about his relationship with his daughter. And this, reportedly, didn’t sit well with the Sussexes. As such, Markle and Prince Harry decided to cut ties with him.

More recently, Markle is rumored to have cut ties with her best friend, Jessica Mulroney. The two women first met ten years ago in Canada while Markle was filming for Suits. They have become so close that three of Mulroney’s children were part of Markle’s wedding entourage.

But just last month, Mulroney came under fire following her racist remarks. Shortly after the incident, rumors swirled that Markle was forced to end her friendship with Mulroney because she has been involved in the Black Lives Matter movement.

Meanwhile, royal experts previously accused Markle of encouraging Prince Harry to also cut ties with his friends. One of the people that the Duke of Sussex has ignored is his longtime best friend, Tom Inskip.

There are claims that Markle thinks Inskip is a bad influence on Prince Harry that’s why she doesn’t her husband to be associated with him.

However, Inskip and his wife, Laura were present at Prince Harry and Markle’s royal wedding. It was only after a few months that Markle, allegedly, encouraged her husband to banish his longtime best friend from his life.

Back then, Markle, allegedly, found out that Inskip was one of the people who was encouraging Prince Harry to rethink his decision to tie the knot with Markle.

However, these claims have never been confirmed or denied by Prince Harry, Markle, and Inskip.
