Last week, we reported that Meghan Markle had been left “blindsided” by her friend Ellen DeGeneres’ recent move to England. Now, insiders are saying that Meghan has gone so far as to drop a bomb on Ellen by cutting the comedian out of her inner circle.

Meghan Turns On Ellen

Sources told Rob Shuter’s #ShuterScoop that Meghan, 44, has been distancing herself from Ellen, 67. These insiders allege that Meghan now regrets aligning herself with Ellen when she moved to California with her husband Prince Harry back in 2020 after they stepped down as senior royals.

Once she returned to her native California, Meghan took part in various awkward backstage antics with Ellen that were meant to “humanize” her. However, they backfired big time, as they only resulted in backlash and ridicule. Meghan reportedly places all of the blame on Ellen for the fallout of these appearances.

“She thought she was in safe hands,” said one insider. “Instead, it felt like a setup.”

Sources allege that Meghan has cut off all contact with Ellen, refusing to communicate with the comedian at all. It seems that Meghan has indeed quietly removed Ellen from her inner circle.

Meghan Feels ‘Betrayed’ By Ellen

This comes after other insiders told #ShuterScoop that Meghan felt “betrayed” by Ellen. This is because since moving to the United Kingdom, Ellen has had nothing but praise for England. Meghan hasn’t taken this well, as she frequently has complained about the way that she was treated in England over the years.

“Sources tell #ShuterScoop that Ellen’s headline-making decision to relocate permanently to the U.K. — the very place Meghan publicly fled and branded ‘toxic’ — has torched their once-close friendship,” Shuter reported. “The 67-year-old comedian and wife Portia de Rossi snapped up an $18 million estate in the Cotswolds and are loving life across the pond.”

Indeed, during an interview with the British TV host Richard Bacon, Ellen was quick to praise both England and the people who call the European nation home.

“It’s beautiful. The people are polite. Even the animals are treated better,” Ellen gushed. “It’s better in every way.”

Insiders close to Meghan claim that she was left devastated by Ellen’s comments.

“She feels betrayed,” one Hollywood insider alleged. “Ellen knows exactly what she’s doing. It’s a direct shot.”

“Meghan says England broke her,” the source later added. “Ellen says it saved her.”

Ellen’s Reputation Nosedive In America

Before fleeing America, Ellen saw her reputation take a nosedive in the states. For decades, Ellen was known as “The Queen of Nice.” She even ended every episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show by telling her viewers to “be kind to one another.”

That all changed in 2020, when Ellen was accused of presiding over a workplace at her talk show that was full of racism, sexism, and bullying. It was even alleged that her own staffers were told to never make eye contact with Ellen.

The Ellen DeGeneres Show went off the air in 2022. In the years since then, Ellen has lamented that she was “kicked out of show business” for being “mean.”

“The hate went on for a long time and I would try to avoid looking at the news,” Ellen said last year. “The ‘be kind’ girl wasn’t kind. That was the headline.”

Ellen Flees America

This is partly why Ellen decided to flee America and move to England.

“Ellen really felt she had made her mark on the industry, but that was diminished when she was cancelled over her alleged treatment of her staff,” a source told Daily Mail back in November. “Then to have celebrities call her out one by one was so hurtful.”

The insider went on to say that the “all the ill will towards” Ellen in America partly led to her decision to leave the country.

“She has the one person that still loves her, Portia, and she is ready to leave everyone who in her mind left her hanging out to dry. If she considers it her retirement, so be it,” the source continued. “An enormous part of the US doesn’t like her because of her sexual preferences, and others were turned off by her persona, which some perceived to be fake in the wake of the work place allegations.”

“For Ellen, it’s easier to move away from her problems than to confront them,” the insider concluded. “It seems like a sad end to what she once was in people’s minds.”

Meghan’s Netflix Fail

As for Meghan, thinks aren’t going very well for her in America either. She’s so deeply unpopular that her show With Love, Meghan failed to crack the top 300 Netflix shows in terms of views for the first half of 2025. Instead, it came in at number 383, much to Meghan’s humiliation.

In fact, the show flopped so spectacularly that it’s been reported that Netflix won’t be renewing Meghan’s $100 million contract when it expires next month.

Many would argue that Meghan and Ellen have quite a lot in common in terms of both their attitudes and respective reputations. Only time will tell if their friendship can bounce back from this!
