Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly had to cancel their last star-studded party at Montecito mansion, due to an "embarrasing" reason.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex - who landed in the UK last week for what is believed to be an "extended" stay, called off their goodbye Montecito bash after unexpected snub from their industry pals.
As per the source close to the couple, "They started quietly feeling people out, and the response was basically crickets."
"They imagined this emotional send-off surrounded by the people who welcomed them to America. Instead, everyone was busy. It was embarrassing," added the insider.
According to the source, "These weren’t supposed to be Hollywood acquaintances. These were supposed to be real friends."
"Tyler gave them extraordinary support when they arrived. Oprah gave them a global platform. Harry and Meghan genuinely believed they had built an American family," they added.
Highlighting that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's ties with Hollywood pals changed over the years, the source explained, "When there was a royal wedding, a Netflix deal or a big interview, everybody wanted a seat at the table"
"For the goodbye party, suddenly nobody could find a free night," they added.
