In a surprising turn of events, Kim Kardashian has reportedly canceled her planned business collaboration 

with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, creating a wave of frustration for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. 

This latest setback compounds the couple’s ongoing struggles as they work to carve out a new life away from the British royal family. 

Despite their efforts to establish themselves as prominent figures in Hollywood, the Sussexes have encountered a series of challenges, 

making their journey toward independence from the monarchy more difficult.

Since their dramatic exit from the royal family in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been pursuing a career in the entertainment industry, with mixed results. 

They have already launched several projects, including a podcast with Spotify and a content partnership with Netflix. However, their Netflix production, *Polo*, received a lukewarm reception from audiences and critics alike, and the couple has faced significant public scrutiny, with a harsh Vanity Fair article recently dissecting their public image.

Despite these setbacks, there was a glimmer of hope on the horizon with the upcoming release of Meghan’s documentary, *With Love, Meghan*, which was expected to shed more light on her personal journey. But amid the turbulence, it seems that some high-profile celebrities are beginning to distance themselves from the couple. Kim Kardashian, a reality TV star and business mogul, has reportedly joined the growing list of figures pulling back from any potential associations with the Sussexes.

According to a source who spoke with Vanity Fair, “Unfortunately, there’s a perception that Meghan and Harry are a couple of real try-hards.” This sentiment has been echoed in multiple reports, with the Sussexes’ efforts to build a name for themselves in Hollywood sometimes being seen as overly ambitious and not always in alignment with the glamorous image many A-listers want to maintain.

At one point, it seemed that Meghan and Harry might have developed a potential alliance with the Kardashian family, a relationship that was expected to bolster their image and business prospects. In April of the previous year, Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, was spotted socializing with Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner, Kim’s mother. Later, both Meghan and Harry were seen mingling with Kris Jenner at Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi’s vow renewal celebration. The encounter sparked speculation that the Sussexes and the Kardashians might form a collaborative partnership. However, those hopes appear to have dwindled.

As reported by Closer Magazine, Kim Kardashian has reportedly distanced herself from Meghan and Harry, stating, “As much as Kim respects her mum Kris’ choice to support them, she doesn’t want to be associated with anyone that’s controversial unless they really are a great benefit to her.” Kim’s decision to step back from the potential business collaboration seems to be driven by her assessment that the Sussexes’ controversial public image no longer serves her interests. 

Though Kim Kardashian may have withdrawn from the partnership, Meghan Markle is reportedly focusing on strengthening her relationships with other members of the Kardashian family, particularly Kourtney Kardashian. Sources claim that Meghan admires Kourtney’s work with her lifestyle brand, Poosh, and is a fan of Kourtney’s Lemme supplements. The two women are said to share many similarities, including a keen interest in wellness and entrepreneurial ventures.

In fact, Meghan believes that her husband, Prince Harry, and Kourtney’s husband, Travis Barker, would hit it off. An insider told *In Touch*, “Meghan knows Harry would enjoy meeting Travis and thinks they would all get along well. She thinks it would be fun and that’s something she and Harry are looking to add to their life in the coming year.” This suggests that while Meghan may be sidelined by some of her previous celebrity connections, she is making an effort to develop new alliances within Hollywood.

While the Sussexes’ public image continues to face challenges, the couple remains committed to their new life and future projects. Whether these shifting alliances and celebrity relationships will significantly impact their Hollywood ambitions remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Meghan and Harry are far from giving up on their quest for independence.
