Millie Mackintosh felt ‘snubbed’ by Meghan Markle

Millie Mackintosh has admitted that she felt she was “repulsed” by Meghan Markle when she started dating Prince Harry.

Speaking on her Mumlemmas podcast, the Made In Chelsea star, 33, revealed she became friends with the Suits star after they met at a hotel event in Turkey, even “giving her all her contacts” when she moved to London moved

Millie added that she and Meghan met when she moved to London and she shared her favorite hotspots, but things changed when rumors spread that she and Harry were dating.

She added that she had sent Meghan a message offering her well wishes, but was surprised to receive an “abrupt” reply.

Millie told her co-host Charlie Boud that after reading Meghan’s response, she was snapped and decided she wouldn’t contact her again.

She explained, “Years ago, I would say about eight years ago, I went to the opening of a hotel in Istanbul and I met Meghan Markle.

“I was a fan, I watched Suits, and we met at the bar and we both ordered drinks while I started chatting. We got along really well, we got along like a house on fire and just kept in touch.

‘Then we went for lunch, she didn’t know London very well, she’d never been to Chelsea so I took her to The Ivy on Kings Road.

“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 she and Meghan bonded over their marital problems, as the Made In Chelsea star was married to rapper Professor Green at the time and Meghan had previously divorced her first husband Trevor Engelson.

She continued, “When we first met, I was married, going through a bit of a turbulent time, and I was getting divorced, and she was divorced, so we had quite a bit to talk about.”

“That was very close, and we were both concerned with our well-being, she had our blog, we were both concerned with the same things.

“We hung out a few times, we weren’t best friends, but when she was in town she’d let me know and we’d just hang out.”

“Last time I saw her was in a hotel in the Cotswolds, she was staying there, what I thought was going to be a day of yoga ended up as rosè and margaritas in the pool.

‘It was a really nice afternoon, pictures were taken of us riding around on the bikes. That was the last time I saw her.’

Millie explained that Meghan briefly said she was in a relationship with Harry during their last meeting, and weeks later, rumors about their relationship started swirling.

She continued: “While I was there we were chatting and she told me about Harry and that they were messaging, and a friend introduced them.

“I don’t know him, to be clear, I’ve never met him. Me and Harry don’t know each other. I’ve never met him. I actually didn’t ask too much about it.’

Millie added that she reached out to Meghan when her relationship with Harry came to light.

She added, “I messaged her and said ‘hey I hope you are well, thinking of you’, and she sent me a very abrupt message, which was really unlike any of our previous communication.” ‘

Millie, who did not disclose the message she received, added that she did not question Meghan about her relationship with Harry.

She added: “It’s not like I messaged her asking if it was true, that was none of my business.

“What I read from that message was that she needed some space to cool down.

“I didn’t message her again, but I expected us to keep in touch. I thought she would text back and say “sorry things are a bit stressful right now”.

‘I never heard from her again. I felt like she basically told me to fuck off on that message. So I did. And we haven’t spoken since.”

The former reality TV star then gave her thoughts on what was behind the message: “My view is that, this is my instinct as to why it happened at the time, she thought well, I’m going to be a royal now, I don’t need Millie in my to live.

“I was on a reality show at the time, she was like, ‘I can’t be associated with Made In Chelsea, I’m going to be a royal.’

Meghan – who has alluded to the restrictions placed on her by the palace when she started dating Harry – was absent from the coronation in the UK this weekend, opting to stay in the US to celebrate her son’s ‘lowkey’ fourth birthday Archie at her celebration and Prince Harry’s home in Montecito.

Harry, 38, attended King Charles’s big day, but then rushed back to California.

He went straight to the airport as soon as the ceremony ended and was on the plane before his father and stepmother Camila, the newly crowned queen, had even finished taking their official portraits.

He landed at LAX airport around 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, after spending a total of 28 hours and 42 minutes in the UK.

Despite Harry’s swift departure, the King honored Archie at a post-coronation buffet, raising a glass to toast the toddler’s fourth birthday.

A source said that while most members of the royal family “sighed a sigh of relief” that Harry wasn’t with them at the celebration afterwards, 74-year-old King Charles “looked genuinely quite disappointed that he didn’t stay.”

Charles thanked everyone who had worked hard to make this day so special, before paying tribute to ‘those who weren’t there’, including Archie, who he wished a very happy birthday ‘wherever he was’.
