Meghan Markle has found a kindred spirit in Friends star Jennifer Aniston.
According to an insider, Aniston is impressed with Meghan’s resilience in the face of public scrutiny and ready to let the Duchess of Sussex into her small social circle.
“Jen knows what it’s like to be in the public eye and under scrutiny, so she has a ton of empathy for Meghan and thinks the way she’s been treated is pretty diabolical,” the insider Life & Style. “At the same time, she’s really impressed with how Meghan’s shown such resilience.”
The Friends star “admires how [Meghan]’s stayed strong and stuck to her principles through everything,” per the mole.
They continued: “They have Oprah as a mutual friend and don’t forget Courteney [Cox] is friendly with Harry, so there’s already some common ground. Jen is very selective about who she lets into her circle, so she has taken things quite slowly with Meghan, but the word is she’s ready to fully welcome her in.”
The source also said that the rumor about the Murder Mystery actress snubbing Meghan while working on Horrible Bosses isn’t true.
They explained: “There’s been this rumor that Jen snubbed Meghan years ago when they worked on Horrible Bosses, but that’s just not true. Meghan had such a small part, so they hardly worked together, but it was no reflection on Meghan or how Jen felt about her. Anyone harping on that clearly has no idea how film sets work.”
