Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are struggling with being at the bottom of the Hollywood food chain, according to a former friend of the Duchess of Sussex.

Before Meghan Markle met Prince Harry, Nick Ede claims he was friends with her.

Ede said about his relationship with Meghan: “We became really good friends. You know, we had a really nice, fun, good relationship.

“And we were friends for a while.”

“I think it’s quite interesting to have known her and now see what it’s like in LA for her,” Ede, the host of The Royal Agenda and The Royal Box, continued.

“I’ve got lots of friends who live there, who know what their reputation is like, and it’s changed a lot.”

He added: “The thing is that you forget that in Hollywood royalty isn’t somebody with a title.

“It’s J.Lo, it’s Sharon Stone, it’s Beyonce, it’s the Kardashians. That’s their royalty.

“And also the Obamas or Clintons. If you’ve been in office, apart from Trump, then you’re seen as being a top dog.

“I think they have underestimated that in many ways.”

The royal commentator also stated he felt Meghan and Harry expected to be A-listers the moment they moved to Hollywood.

He said: “I think they came in and thought that the number one people on the block and they’re not really.

“They’re kind of quite far down really in that pecking order. And I think that’s been an issue with them, in that sense of stepping down.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will leave the Royal Family as working members in 2020.

After leaving the UK, the couple relocated to California after a brief stay in Canada.

The Sussexes currently reside in Montecito, California, with their two children, Archie and Lilibet.
