Elton John’s Oscars ‘snub’ to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after awkward ‘falling out’

Sir Elton John’s relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seemingly hit a stumbling block after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were snubbed from the singer-songwriter’s famous Oscars party last year.

Elton John and Prince Harry reportedly had a falling out last year, leading to the Duke of Sussex and his wife Meghan Markle being left off the guest list for Sir Elton’s famous Oscars party.

This claim was made by Tom Bower, author of the 2022 book, Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors, following the Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday, March 12 2023.

This comes after Harry discussed his relationship with Sir Elton in his explosive memoir Spare.

Sir Elton has been a long-time friend of Harry, who is the youngest son of his close friend Princess Diana.

Such was his close relationship with Diana, Sir Elton even performed at her funeral, with a reworked version of his iconic track Candle in the Wind raising money in her memory.

The award-winning songwriter, who has won numerous accolades including his own Academy Awards and Grammys, came to the aid of the Royals when four years ago Harry and Meghan faced intense criticism.

In support of the couple, Sir Elton said he had become “deeply distressed” by the “distorted and malicious account in the press” when it emerged they had stayed at his property for a holiday.

However, Harry expressed his disappointment with Sir Elton when it was revealed that the singer planned to serialise his memoir in the Daily Mail, due to his recent legal action with the newspaper.

He felt that the newspaper had ruined his peace of mind. However, Sir Elton John was eager for more people to “read his book”.
