Meghan Markle Reportedly Humiliated After Kardashians Reject Gift Basket: “We Don’t Know Her”
In a surprising twist blending royalty with reality TV, Meghan Markle has allegedly faced a cold shoulder from America’s most famous celebrity clan, the Kardashians. Reports have emerged claiming that the Duchess of Sussex sent a lavish gift basket to the Kardashian-Jenner family, only to be met with a frosty response and an alleged remark: “We don’t know her.”
According to entertainment insiders, Meghan had hoped to form a connection with the Kardashian family, possibly for networking purposes or to forge media opportunities amid her and Prince Harry’s ongoing efforts to strengthen their brand in Hollywood. The gift basket, described as luxurious and personalized, reportedly included high-end skincare products, gourmet treats, candles, and handwritten notes from Meghan herself.
The gesture, however, did not land as expected. A source close to the Kardashians claimed that the basket was returned unopened. “They were confused,” the insider said. “None of them have a personal relationship with Meghan, and they weren’t sure why she sent it in the first place. It felt a little random.”
The Kardashians, known for their tight-knit inner circle and selective associations, allegedly felt the gift was more of a PR move than a genuine attempt at friendship. “They get sent stuff all the time,” the source added. “It takes more than an expensive gift to get their attention.”
The rejection has reportedly left Meghan embarrassed, especially as news of the snub has started circulating across social media and tabloid outlets. Critics have speculated that this may be another setback in the Sussexes’ struggle to gain solid footing in Hollywood, despite securing deals with major platforms like Netflix and Spotify.
Fans of both the royal and reality TV worlds have chimed in, with opinions divided. Some believe Meghan was simply trying to be gracious and extend goodwill in a town where networking is everything. Others argue that it was a tone-deaf attempt to align herself with a family known for their commercialism and controversy—something the British royals have traditionally avoided.
Despite the online buzz, neither Meghan Markle nor any member of the Kardashian family has officially commented on the situation. A representative for Meghan declined to respond to inquiries, while reps for the Kardashians have remained silent.
This isn’t the first time Meghan has been caught in a media storm over her attempts to integrate into American celebrity culture. Since stepping down from royal duties in 2020, she and Prince Harry have faced both praise and criticism for their various ventures and public appearances.
Whether this incident will affect Meghan’s standing in the Hollywood social scene remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: not even royal titles guarantee acceptance in the world of high-stakes celebrity politics.
As the Kardashians famously say, “This is a business,” and it appears Meghan’s overture—though well-intended—may have missed the mark.
