Prince Harry ‘Dropped’ Me When He Met Meghan Markle, Says Jack Whitehall

British comedian Jack Whitehall has claimed that Prince Harry distanced himself from their friendship after meeting Meghan Markle.

Speaking candidly on his podcast, Whitehall shared his experience of being “dropped” by the Duke of Sussex following his high-profile romance with the former actress.

Whitehall, known for his sharp wit and celebrity encounters, recounted how he used to share a friendly rapport with Prince Harry.

The two were often seen together at social events, and Whitehall even performed at a royal event attended by Harry. However, according to the comedian, things changed when Meghan Markle entered the picture.

“I used to have a friendship with Harry,” Whitehall said. “We had great banter, and I even made jokes about him when I hosted events he attended. But then Meghan came along, and suddenly, I never heard from him again.”

The British funnyman, famous for his roles in television and stand-up comedy, jokingly suggested that Markle might have influenced Harry’s social circle, leading to a shift in their dynamic. While Whitehall’s remarks were made in jest, they have reignited discussions about how the Duke’s friendships and public presence have evolved since his marriage.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who tied the knot in 2018, stepped back from their royal duties in 2020 and moved to the United States, where they now reside with their two children. Their decision to leave the UK and their subsequent media ventures have been subjects of extensive public debate.

Whitehall’s comments have amused fans, with many taking to social media to share their reactions. While some sympathized with the comedian, others defended the couple’s right to set boundaries in their personal lives.

Neither Prince Harry nor Meghan Markle has publicly responded to Whitehall’s claims.
