Since Harry and Meghan left Frogmore Cottage, they’ve been telling their story in as many formats as possible. They engaged in humanitarian work and often spoke out on public issues with their friends in the US. Let’s take a look at some of Harry and Meghan’s closest allies in America.
Harry and Meghan’s closest allies in America
From Hollywood heartthrobs to ex-presidents, Harry and Meghan have friends in high places. Their newest project is a tell-all documentary, unveiling even more secrets and alliances. Royal experts say the series has put off some of their natural allies in the US.
Barack Obama
American royalty is no stranger to the attention of tabloid journalists. The Duchess of Sussex has had a mixed reception in the US since she departed for their new home in California. Support for the pair took a dip following the release of Spare and the airing of their six-part series.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, Harry’s frostbitten penis became a regular target of comedians jokes. Luckily, his interview with the ex-president of the United States overshadowed the controversy. As expressed in their interview, Obama is a firm believer in a global community.
Obama and Harry believe a global community could work to combat world issues. They think it could help eliminate issues like climate change and terrorism. Obama addresses global crises on a case-by-case basis.
He often referred to his approach as leading from behind. He even used Harry’s Great Britain as an example of a nation that didn’t pull its weight during the Libya crisis. This irritated many Europeans, who felt that Obama was ‘dismissing’ their concerns.
With these sit-downs, Harry and Meghan’s popularity in America appears to have stabilized. Meghan and Obama are also big supporters of the arts and culture, especially music and dance.
Oprah Winfrey
Oprah is one of America’s most influential television personalities. She won a multitude of awards and became one of the wealthiest women in the world. Winfrey paved the way for many black TV stars and became one of the most influential females in history.
Her career began with a small role in a local TV show, which led to her being hired as a news anchor. She later moved to Nashville and became the city’s first African-American news reporter. She went through rough patches, including a stint in Baltimore with workplace harassment.
Oprah then revitalized a struggling morning talk show called AM Chicago. Her talk show personality landed her interviews with the biggest names in the world. The show became a huge hit, and Winfrey was soon the highest-rated television host in history.
Thanks to her status, she interviewed Harry and Meghan during their controversial, racist ordeal with the royal family. In the YouTube video below, you can see the bond Oprah creates with her guests through their life journey.
Winfrey is also active in philanthropy and social activism, even in England. She supports various charities and the less fortunate, making it effortless for her to connect with her guests. She even tapped into her emotions in her acting scenes.
In Steven Spielberg’s The Color Purple, Oprah showcased her ability to connect with extreme turmoil. She also starred in the television series Greenleaf and The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. In the future, Winfrey will continue to expand her media entertainment empire with OWN.
Her Opera Winfrey network produces cable and online programming for women. We may see more guest appearances from her friends, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Margot Robbie
Margot Elise Robbie came a long way from Australia’s Gold Coast. She started off taking part in local theatre productions. She went on to star in the daytime soap opera Neighbours from 2008 to 2011.
It wasn’t until she signed with a primary Hollywood agent in 2012 that she began earning serious money. Robbie has since garnered many award nominations and wins, including two Academy Awards. Robbie made her American breakthrough in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street. It’s astounding to see Jordan Belfort’s hot wife making friends with members of the Royal Family.
At times, she’s funny and intense on camera; at others, deadly serious and fragile. In real life, she is very friendly and down to earth, which is why she and Prince Harry hit it off. They met at a party back in 2016, where she actually mistook him for Ed Sheeran.
Harry was beyond excited to meet Robbie, as she portrayed the psychotic role of Harley Quinn earlier that year. She appeared alongside Will Smith in their first movie together. Her performance still stands out as one of her most vital to date, alongside The Wolf of Wall Street.
The dark yet colorful and sexy superhero film showcases her physical grace. She effortlessly flips between enemies and executes graceful combat sequences. Her Harley has a larger-than-life charisma, but she’s never over the top and always believable.
Despite her exquisite persona, she remains down to earth, which is why she and Harry became such good friends. She’s now a reliable action star as well as a reliable ally to Harry and Meghan. In 2022, Robbie joined an all-star cast in Wes Anderson’s dramedy Asteroid City as the titular character.
Markle was a massive fan of Margot Robbie’s new Barbie film. The movie both celebrates and criticizes the iconic doll. The actress has a bright future ahead of her, and it’s easy to see why members of the royal family took a liking to her.
Jennifer Lopez
J-Lo is, interesting enough, one of Harry and Meghan’s closest allies in America. The singer for her catchy songs, acting chops, and a couple of other “assets.” Throughout all of this, Miss Jenny from the Block managed to prove that she’s more than an entertainer.
She is also an outspoken advocate on issues such as marriage equality and bullying prevention. She’s raised millions of dollars for HIV/AIDS research and made it her mission to support marginalized communities through her platform as an artist. She has been noted as an actual role model for young people.
She initially met Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at a billionaire’s summit and took a liking to them. In the showbiz world, the actress and producer is a powerhouse, making her and the royal members a great partnership. She has several thriving business ventures and charities, making her friendship with the two even more powerful.
The diva has been through her fair share of relationships. She first dated Oscar-winning actor Ben Affleck for two years, stirring up a tabloid frenzy in the process. Before the pair got back together, J-Lo dated Alex Rodriguez, who actually went on a double date with Harry and Meghan.
Lopez and Affleck recently married for a second time in front of their friends and family in Georgia. Like Harry and Meghan, Lopez is a philanthropist and has donated to organizations such as UNICEF and the Global Fund. She used her Instagram to share her activism and support causes close to her heart.
Despite her royal duties, the singer still finds time to enjoy her everyday life with her husband, Ben Affleck, like Harry with his wife Meghan. The couple hits up trendy LA spots and touring mansions as they settle into their new house in Montecito. Though we may not see another double date between Harry and Meghan, and now Lopez and Affleck in the future.
