Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Furious as Tom Cruise Chooses Prince William and Kate Middleton Over Them
In a twist that’s sending shockwaves through both Hollywood and royal circles, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly fuming after being snubbed by none other than superstar Tom Cruise. The A-list actor, once seen as a potential ally of the exiled Sussexes, has allegedly thrown his support behind Prince William and Princess Kate, leaving Harry and Meghan in disbelief.
According to explosive claims made by RadarOnline.com, the Mission: Impossible star has grown increasingly close to the Prince and Princess of Wales. The move has reportedly blindsided the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who had quietly hoped Cruise would side with them in their ongoing feud with the Royal Family.
“Tom has clearly picked sides in the Harry and Meghan versus the Royal Family feud – and he’s picked right,” an insider told the outlet. The source went on to reveal that Cruise has “become an honorary Brit” due to his frequent visits to the UK while filming blockbuster movies.
And while Cruise’s rising bond with William and Kate might delight fans of the royals, it’s apparently rubbing Harry and Meghan the wrong way. “There is no way he would want to jeopardize those kind of connections by pal’ing up with no-marks like Meghan and Harry – who the royals hate anyway,” the source added, in a comment that’s sure to ignite further controversy.
This revelation reportedly comes as a major blow to Meghan, who had hoped Cruise would appear as a guest on her upcoming podcast series, Confessions of a Female Founder. The show is believed to be part of her media comeback strategy following the mixed success of previous ventures.
But insiders say Tom Cruise has zero interest in aligning himself with the controversial couple. “There is no chance Tom would even consider doing her pod. They are way down the list of people he wants to connect with,” the source stated bluntly.
The rejection reportedly stings even more given how carefully Meghan and Harry have cultivated ties within Hollywood. After their dramatic royal exit in 2020, they relocated to California with the aim of building a powerful media brand. But despite signing multi-million dollar deals with Netflix and Spotify, not all has gone according to plan.
The reported snub by Cruise could signal a growing shift in Hollywood’s loyalty—away from the Sussexes and back toward the traditional royal fold. It also raises questions about just how much influence Harry and Meghan still hold among A-listers.
Tom Cruise has long been known for keeping his relationships close and calculated, and his public admiration for the Royal Family isn’t exactly new.

He’s previously praised Queen Elizabeth II and attended events such as the Platinum Jubilee. His growing friendship with Prince William and Kate Middleton now seems to be a natural evolution of those ties.
For Harry and Meghan, who have long positioned themselves as outsiders fighting against the “Firm,” the loss of a potential ally like Cruise could be more than just a social blow—it could be a branding disaster.
Observers say the situation reflects a broader issue the Sussexes are facing: a struggle to maintain relevance amid dwindling public support and waning media buzz. While their Netflix projects have drawn attention, they haven’t had the consistent impact many expected.
The couple’s hopes of building a strong celebrity support base may be eroding, especially if other stars follow Cruise’s lead and distance themselves from the drama. In a celebrity-driven culture, being snubbed by someone as high-profile as Tom Cruise speaks volumes.
As the Royal Family continues to win hearts with their steady presence and public engagements, Harry and Meghan appear increasingly isolated—not just from the monarchy, but also from Hollywood elites.
Whether this is just a temporary cold shoulder or a lasting freeze remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: Tom Cruise has made his choice—and it’s not the one the Sussexes were hoping for.
The Hollywood fairytale may not be turning out the way Meghan and Harry imagined, especially with A-listers like Cruise firmly in the royal camp.
