“She thought she’d be top of the list—but wasn’t even invited.” Meghan Markle was reportedly blindsided after Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez left her off their wedding guest list 💍💔 See her reaction and latest photos in the article 👇📸
According to reports from several celebrity news outlets, Meghan Markle was left feeling blindsided after not receiving an invite to the wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sanchez. Sources claim the Duchess of Sussex didn’t expect to be excluded, especially when several other high-profile celebrities were invited.
Insiders told RadarOnline that Meghan believed she was “more influential” than many of the wedding attendees, particularly referencing reality stars like the Kardashian sisters, who did receive invitations. The snub, according to the source, was a tough blow for Meghan, who sees Sanchez’s glamorous lifestyle as something she once envisioned.
The insider explained that Meghan has long admired Lauren Sanchez’s rise in the social and media spotlight—and hoped to enjoy a similar level of success after her royal exit. “She’s frustrated and hurt,” the source said. “She thought she’d be one of the names on the top of the list, not left off entirely.”
The report went on to say that Meghan is feeling overshadowed by Sanchez, who seems to be thriving in the public eye while Meghan struggles to find solid footing in Hollywood. “While Lauren is dazzling in diamonds on international red carpets, Meghan is being mocked for selling budget lifestyle products,” the source claimed.
The extravagant wedding celebrations for Jeff Bezos, 61, and Lauren Sanchez, 55, took place over several days in Venice, from June 26 to 28. The guest list was stacked with celebrities, billionaires, and power couples from both entertainment and tech. Some notable names in attendance included Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, Sidney Sweeney, Orlando Bloom, and Bill Gates.
Guests were put up in Venice’s most exclusive hotels, while the bride dazzled in a series of custom Dolce & Gabbana gowns and massive diamond jewelry. Despite the luxury, the event wasn’t without controversy—local residents voiced concern over the city’s takeover by the ultra-wealthy, accusing them of disrupting Venice’s daily life.
Meghan Markle, a former actress, married Prince Harry in 2018. The couple stepped away from their royal duties in 2020, moved to the U.S., and have since been trying to build a media and business presence. However, their projects have faced setbacks, including financial losses and ongoing public criticism—often aimed at Meghan’s perceived lack of authenticity.
At a recent summit in New York, Prince Harry acknowledged the pressure his wife faces, saying Meghan is “the most trolled person in the world.” Still, the couple continues to pursue opportunities in entertainment and philanthropy, though their path has proven more difficult than expected.
