Meghan Markle is being portrayed by unnamed entertainment insiders as trying too hard to draw closer to Beyoncé, with OK! reporting that the singer has quietly created distance in Hollywood and Montecito in recent years. The claim is eye-catching, but it remains just that, based on anonymous sources rather than any public rift between the Duchess of Sussex and one of the most carefully managed stars in popular culture.
Meghan Markle moved to Montecito in 2020 with Prince Harry after the couple stepped back as senior working royals. Since then, she has sought to build a post-royal identity through projects including the Netflix series With Love, her lifestyle brand As Ever, and frequent appearances in celebrity circles that have included Oprah Winfrey, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom and Serena Williams.
