Jennifer Aniston Snaps Up Property Near Meghan Markle’s Home

The Mirror has reported that Jennifer Aniston has purchased a large property in the same affluent neighborhood where Meghan Markle and Prince Harry reside.

The Friends superstar is excited about the move and is reportedly looking forward to meeting the royal couple.

It seems that the feeling is mutual, as an insider revealed that Jennifer hopes to build a meaningful friendship with Harry and Meghan.

According to Heat magazine, Jennifer is a big fan of the Sussexes and has heard wonderful things about them through Oprah and other mutual acquaintances.

The source added that the royal couple will be invited to Jennifer's housewarming party, and she hopes to spend time with them at dinner parties with Oprah.

However, some royal fans doubt the blossoming friendship, with one stating that Jennifer is more like Kate, meaning she has a tight-knit group of friends she's had since pre-Friends fame.

Another commented that Jennifer is very private, and no one wants to talk to the leaky duo because they have a loose relationship with the truth.

Furthermore, Jennifer reportedly dislikes Meghan Markle, and their rift has been going on for the last nine years.

A source told New Idea that Meghan envisioned a friendship with Jennifer when she landed a part in the comedy film “Horrible Bosses,” but a scene was cut down to 30 seconds only, leaving Meghan disappointed and disenfranchised.

The insider then went on to say that Meghan bad-mouthed “Horrible Bosses” and its stars after learning her scenes were shortened in the editing room.

Meghan apparently felt motivated to prove that she would become just as good as Jennifer, but others saw her sentiments as sour grapes.

Meghan's behavior apparently reached Jennifer, who snubbed any attempts from Prince Harry's wife to hang out when the Sussexes made Los Angeles their new home base.

Sources said that Jennifer has always been suspicious of Meghan's motives, especially when word got to her that the former actress wanted to be the next Mrs. Brad Pitt years ago.

Last year, Meghan was allegedly mad over Jennifer Aniston's award.

She was disappointed and hurt that the Oprah interview lost to HBO Max's “Friends: The Reunion” at the People's Choice Awards.

Meghan Markle reportedly thought that returning to Hollywood as a Duchess would allow her to climb over the likes of Jennifer Aniston in the industry's hierarchy.

However, the Wanderlust actress's profile remains higher than the Suits alum, making Meghan more furious over Jennifer's award.

Adding insult to injury, the Murder Mysteries star allegedly repeatedly rebuffs the Duchess of Sussex's invitations and has rejected the former working royal's invites to come to dinner in their new Montecito home.

Despite their reported rift, Jennifer's move to the same neighborhood as Meghan has sparked rumors of a potential friendship between the two stars.

An insider claimed that both Jennifer and Meghan are excited to see each other and see if they can build a meaningful friendship.

Other celebrities who own property in the area include Gwyneth Paltrow, Ellen DeGeneres, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, and Ariana Grande.

Jennifer's move to the neighborhood has only added to its star-studded reputation, and it will be interesting to see if she and Meghan will indeed become friends.
