Word on the street was that George and Amal Clooney had denied knowing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle while attending their royal wedding back in 2018.
However, the buzz has now been quashed as a representative of the power couple stepped forth to set the record straight about the story penned by UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s sister, Rachel.
A spokesperson for the two denied that the couple ever made the claim against the Sussex pair.
As per Boris Johnson’s sister Rachel Johnson, the pair had been telling the guests at the wedding that they were anything but best buds with the bride and groom.
Johnson wrote for AirMail: “There’s a story doing the rounds that while Carolyn Bartholomew, Diana’s former flatmate, was waiting for the wedding service to start, she turned to the couple alongside her and asked how they knew Harry or Meghan.”
“‘We don’t’, the Clooneys answered brightly,” she went on to say.
Just hours before Charles held the State Opening of Parliament, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex declared that they had had “no contact” from Buckingham Palace regarding His Majesty’s 75th birthday celebration.
Following a story in the Sunday Times that claimed Harry had declined his father’s invitation to attend a party next week, a representative for the couple made the comments, stating the story was “misreported.”
A friend of the couple, nevertheless, also speculated that the Palace might have released the information about the’snubbing’ in order to deflect attention from the King’s recent visit to Kenya, where he was urged to apologize for Britain’s colonial past.
Royal experts have criticized the statement, stating that the trip of Kenya was “extremely successful” and that the timing of the intervention was “particularly inappropriate.”
