The Duchess of Sussex is reportedly reaching out to former pals, including Victoria Beckham, as she looks to rebuild bridges in Hollywood.

Meghan Markle is reportedly looking to re-enter Hollywood’s inner circle and mend broken friendships, including her past relationship with fashion icon Victoria Beckham. According to sources close to the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan is using the upcoming holiday season as an opportunity to reconnect with A-listers and restore ties that have frayed over the years.

A source revealed to Closer magazine that Meghan has been sending out personalised gift packages, carefully curated with some of her favourite items, including her signature jam, as a gesture to rekindle old friendships. “Meghan has been meticulously curating gift packages filled with a selection of all her favourite things – and of course plenty of her jam – to send to the who’s who of Hollywood,” the source stated.

Though her American Riviera Orchard brand is included in the gifts, the Duchess is reportedly hoping to show a more personal side. “It’s also about spreading goodwill and trying to remind people of her softer side,” the insider explained.

With Christmas around the corner, Meghan is keen to strengthen connections ahead of the new year. She is reportedly determined not to begin 2025 in the midst of negativity and is focused on repairing relationships that have been strained in recent years. “She’s been feeling increasingly lonely recently and wants to concentrate on strengthening friendships,” the source added.

The move comes after Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, stepped down from their royal duties in 2020. The couple, who now live in California with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, have faced public scrutiny and personal challenges. Their accusations of racism within the Royal Family, particularly regarding the treatment of their son Archie, made headlines globally, further distancing them from certain circles.

In recent months, Meghan has been seen balancing her personal brand with her desire to reconnect with old friends in the entertainment industry, hoping the holiday season will be the ideal time to rebuild those important relationships
