Sophie Trudeau has distanced herself from Meghan Markle, despite previous indications of a close friendship between the two. Meghan had previously described Sophie as a “dear friend” and praised her as “emblematic of strength.” However, in a recent interview with The Times, Sophie played down their relationship, stating that she knew Meghan but had not spent much time with her.

The cooling of their friendship may be linked to Meghan’s fallout with her former best friend, Jessica Mulroney, who previously served as a stylist for Sophie Trudeau. Meghan distanced herself from Jessica after a controversy involving race, despite their previously close relationship.

Meghan and Sophie initially bonded over shared experiences as spouses to prominent figures. Meghan described a relaxed day spent at her Montecito mansion with Sophie, where they enjoyed poolside fun with their children. However, Sophie’s recent comments suggest a shift in their relationship dynamics.

Meghan’s evolving friendship circle, highlighted by the launch of her lifestyle brand, reflects a move towards women in business and those residing in Montecito. While some former close friends have been absent from the promotion of her brand, Meghan’s ability to curate influential connections demonstrates her continued influence and knack for reinvention.
