Sophie Trudeau who was previously married to the Canadian Prime Minister gave Meghan Markle the cold shoulder and refused to confirm an existing friendship between the two women.
In a brutal 10-worded snub earlier this year, Sophie told The Times: “I know her… but we haven’t spent much time together.”
Justin Trudeau’s ex-wife was featured on Meghan Markle’s failed podcast, Archetypes in November 2022, when Meghan described a day of laughter and fun that the pair spent at her Montecito mansion, where their children played in the swimming pool on pizza-shaped floats.

Meghan admitted described how Sophie used to send her “little meditations” during her pregnancy and voice notes “of encouragement” to the Duchess. She also described how they drank wine on her terrace and were “giddy like absolute schoolgirls.”
However, in the interview, Sophie turned the conversation over to Meghan’s sister-in-law instead and revealed her “heart just sunk” when she heard about Princess Kate’s cancer diagnosis.

According to the book, Finding Freedom, Meghan became friendly with Sophie in 2016 after meeting her husband Justin, who has been Canada’s prime minister since 2015, at the One Young World summit in Ottawa that year.
Authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand claim: “The pair became fast email friends, Meghan was interested to hear how Sophie had successfully made the move from an entertainment news correspondent to much-beloved First Lady, all while skillfully dodging controversy.”
In November 2022, Meghan invited Ms Trudeau on to her Spotify podcast Archetypes, where the pair spoke about the challenges of parenting and being a partner to Justin and Harry.
Meghan introduced Ms Trudeau as a “humanitarian mother” she met in Toronto, where Meghan was living while filming a hit TV show, Suits.
It is unclear why Sophie did not confirm an existing friendship with Meghan, but the Duchess has also been criticised for her “strategic friendship” with former best friend Jessica Mulroney.

Royal commentator Charlotte Griffiths has accused the Duchess of Sussex of being quick to discard friendships, particularly in light of her apparent distancing from Mulroney in recent years.
Griffiths referred to the term “Markled”, a slang term from the Urban Dictionary which describes someone who cuts ties with a friend after they’ve made a significant contribution to their life.
Speaking on Palace Confidential, Griffiths said: “I think she’s a bit strategic with her friends and once she’s finished with them, she casts them aside and forgets all about them, deletes their number and blocks their number in some cases.”
Jessica and Meghan have not been seen together publicly recently and Jessica did not feature in the couple’s Netflix series, in which other friends of Harry and Meghan were interviewed.
