Long before Meghan Markle and Katharine McPhee became famous, one for marrying into British Royal house and the other for starring in American Idol, they were friends. McPhee published a photo of the two in her Instagram page, where both of them look considerably younger than today. She captioned it with this: “Meghan and I did musicals together as kids. She grew up to be the Duchess of Sussex and I grew up to star on the West End, so same life if you ask me. #TBT”

The picture caused an avalanche of comments, not all kind or supportive. One of them said: “Meghan got a younger husband while you got a grand dad”. The other was even more brutal, offering congratulations to the ‘respective plastic surgeons’ of Markle and McPhee.
Finding new friends or even keeping old ones may be a daunting task for any newly-created Duchess, as Megan discovered recently, when her father and half-sister made public comments that made them unwelcome in the Buckingham Palace. When one can’t trust even one’s family to not try and exploit them, a choice of friends gets severely limited.

From her days in Suits, Megan had kept in touch with only a handful of people. One of them is Priyanka Chopra. Priyanka and her fiancé Nick Jonas have a great relationship with Megan and Harry. Megan also remained close with Daniel Martin, a makeup artist, and her childhood pal, Benita Litt. Reportedly, she is very fond of Victoria Beckham, but they are both too busy to spend time together regularly.
