Firstpost has earlier written about how insecure or publicity crazy Meghan Markle has always been. She has often been referred to as a social climber who tried to show that she had a huge friend circle from Hollywood, until Hollywood started ostracising Harry-Meghan and favouring William-Kate.

Why Meghan’s Hollywood career never took off despite her father’s connection?

Despite Meghan Markle’s prior ties to Hollywood, her and Harry’s contacts in the industry are moving to Kate and William. According to reports published in

Daily Mail, like a lot of young girls growing up in Los Angeles, Meghan Markle yearned for a career in Hollywood. Luckily for the future Duchess her 'famous' father - Thomas Markle - worked in the industry as a lighting director and gave her a leg up other aspiring actresses could only dream of. And yet, Meghan's career in tinsel town was not the dazzling success her fellow LA natives enjoyed - such as Angelina Jolie or Leonardo DiCaprio.

What royal author Tom Bower had to say

Tom Bower wrote in his book that her 'intense jealousy, especially if someone else got the lead part' left a negative legacy on her career. He said, “One downside of Meghan's success was her intense jealousy, especially if someone else got the lead part. Meghan became particularly irritated after one girl at her school was employed by a Hollywood studio as an actress.”
