Meghan Markle vs Katy Perry: The Battle Over Orlando Bloom’s Portrayal of Prince Harry

It seems that Meghan Markle and Katy Perry are not the best of friends, despite their husbands, Prince Harry and Orlando Bloom, being good buddies.

A recent report by Woman's Day suggests that the two neighbors are at war with each other over Bloom's portrayal of Prince Harry in the new animated series, The Prince.

According to the insider quoted in the report, Markle put her foot down when she heard that Bloom would be voicing the character of Prince Harry.

The source reveals that Meghan gets that it's a comedy but she says she can't accept one of Harry's friends mocking him like that, adding, at first Harry found it funny, but what Meghan says, goes.

The outlet also claims that Markle has been scheming to end Harry's friendship with Bloom for some time now.

The report suggests that she's been looking for a way to get rid of Orlando for months.

The snitch notes that Katy made some snide remarks about how Meghan's Givenchy gown needed one more fitting and that her arch-rival, the Duchess of Cambridge's royal wedding dress was much better.

The source adds that Meghan is a woman who never forgets.

However, another newspaper has rebutted Woman's Day reports.

The newspaper has written that they seriously doubt it.

Citing the newspaper, first of all, we wouldn't exactly call Bloom and Harry besties as the tabloid does.

Bloom said he had never met Harry when he joined the Prince.

When Bloom and Harry finally did meet, he called the Duke so nice.

Then Harry remarked on the podcast Armchair Expert that he and Bloom sort of keep in contact because of the paparazzi.

While Bloom and Harry seem friendly, there's nothing to suggest they share a particularly close bond.

It's true Perry commented on Markle's wedding dress back in 2018.

That being said, her criticism came solely from a fashion standpoint.

What the outlet fails to mention is that Perry went on to gush about Markle's character.

I'm so happy for them, and, you know, I don't know them from Adam, but it's amazing what she's doing with all this, her humanitarian efforts, Perry told ET at the time, the fact that she's a proud feminist, I love all that.

I support her as another woman and love her and wish them both well.

When Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex moved to Montecito, California, they became neighbors to some Hollywood A-listers like Winfrey and Bloom.

Daily Express noted that Duke of Sussex has spoken about his friendship with Bloom saying that he and the actor text each other about when and where they spot paparazzi in their neighborhood.

And Katy Perry's husband has described the prince as so nice with a great sense of humor adding, I hope he maintains that through this because they're sort of on a pedestal.

Recently, Bloom has admitted that Katy Perry convinced him to do it.

During a previous interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Bloom talked about lending his voice to the Prince and admitted that he wasn't sure it was a good idea.

Initially, I was like, hmm, how do I feel about this, because I'm a British boy who's very proud of my roots, he stated.

I understand how the royal family is loved by some and loathed by others, and I've always understood it as part of my heritage and background.

Bloom added that it was actually his wife, who convinced him to do it saying Perry called the project genius.

So how does Bloom feel now about his participation in the show?

I try to justify it because quite frankly, if I'm honest, it's not like me to poke fun at anyone but it is done with affection, he said.

The report by Woman's Day suggests that Meghan Markle and Katy Perry just can't get along despite their husbands being good friends.

While Bloom and Harry have formed a bond since becoming neighbors, an insider tells the tabloid that Markle and Perry have never been able to see eye to eye.

It's no surprise that there are rumors of a feud between the two neighbors.
