Elton John: A Friendship in Tatters

Elton John, a name synonymous with music and fame, has long been associated with a multitude of famous friends and connections, even extending to royalty.

Having been bestowed a knighthood in 1998, Elton John has maintained a close bond with the sons of Diana, Princess of Wales, Prince William and Prince Harry, following the tragic car crash that claimed their mother’s life in 1997.

While the musician graced both brothers’ nuptials in 2011 and 2018, it appears that his relationship with the Duke of Sussex holds more weight than that with the new Prince of Wales.

This revelation comes to light as Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, consistently rely on Elton John for public relations purposes and, allegedly, free travel on his private jet.

As Elton John concludes his final tour, the Sussexes were among the celebrities who extended their well wishes.

It is no surprise that Meghan, known for her proclivity to speak first and at length, took the lead in conveying their message.

However, it is worth noting that Meghan likely does not spend much time with Elton and may not have a substantial relationship with him.

Her motivation for participating in the video message may stem from her desire to maintain access to the private jet, as well as her fondness for being in front of the camera.

In contrast, Prince Harry has known Elton John since his childhood, given the singer’s close friendship with Diana, as well as his interactions with Prince Charles.

However, keen observers of the Royal Grift point out that Harry appeared uncomfortable in the video.

Additionally, Meghan seemed to be closely observing the body language between Elton and Harry, even resting her head on her husband’s shoulder, potentially exacerbating his discomfort.

According to an undisclosed source, Elton John had a falling out with the Sussexes, leading to Meghan’s absence from any Oscar parties.

The true reason behind Sir Elton John’s rift with the couple is said to be shocking.

As we are aware, Harry and Meghan have a penchant for enjoying complimentary services, and Elton was more than willing to lend them his private jet.

However, rumors suggest that Elton, perhaps influenced by remnants of his drug-fueled paranoia, has a habit of bugging his aircraft.

Allegedly, the couple disparaged him, claiming their friendship was merely for public relations and the allure of free air miles.

In his memoir, Harry recounts a tense disagreement that occurred during a vacation at Elton’s residence in France.

While the Prince acknowledges other celebrity friends, such as Coldplay’s Chris Martin and comedian James Corden, Elton receives no mention.

Instead, Harry reveals details of a holiday dispute and a song refusal involving Elton.

According to Harry, he and Meghan embarked on a scooter ride with Elton’s husband, David Furnish, and witnessed their son, Archie, capturing the hearts of both Elton and David.

Harry notes that Elton often found himself studying Archie’s face, undoubtedly reminded of the striking resemblance to Diana.

However, the final night at Elton’s home seemed to turn sour when the Duke congratulated him on completing his memoir, “Me,” only to discover that it would be serialized in the Daily Mail—a publication that had caused him immense distress.

Harry recalls seeing Elton’s discomfort and quickly averting his gaze.

Puzzled, Harry questioned Elton’s choice of newspaper, given its negative impact on his life.

Elton simply responded that he wanted people to read it.

Beads of sweat began to form on Harry’s forehead as the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

He continued to press Elton, reminding him of the specific lies printed about their lives, but the revelation that Elton had accepted a £100,000 check left Harry without further words.

Despite the turmoil, Harry emphasizes his enduring love for Elton and his desire to preserve the sanctity of their holiday.

In conclusion, the once unbreakable bond between Elton John and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex appears to have been strained.
