told Closer magazine.“They may have moved to California, but it’s William and Kate who had the most support out there, and there is a certain level of smugness about that.”“They insist that they’d be doing this regardless of where the Sussexes live, but there is no doubt they’ll enjoy showing Meghan and Harry how Hollywood is still very much obsessed with all things royal,” the insider added.According to reports, the Waleses will be kickstarting their Earthshot initiative before planning to “tap all their celebrity friends for help.”To get the ball rolling, William — the heir to the throne — in September flew to NYC to find “trailblazing climate solutions to repair our planet by 2030.”Now, William and Kate are reportedly looking to get their celebrity pals — including Tom Cruise, Taylor Swift, and Tom Hanks — on board with the project.“Everyone wants to be around them,” a source said of the Waleses.The new report seemingly echoes PR expert Andy Barr’s recent comments about the Sussexes, claiming that they are “jealous” of William and Kate’s advantage submitting a trademark application in the US.Barr told the Mirror that Harry and Meghan would be somewhat envious of the doors that would potentially open to William and Kate — should they wish to take on the States.“Whilst Harry and Meghan have a powerful and well established network of celebrity friends and ‘fixers’, there is no substitute for being an actual, fully paid up member of the royal family,” Barr told the outlet.“The global interest and intrigue in the British Royal Family means that they are guaranteed crowds wherever they go and whatever they do.”William reportedly submitted an application to the US Patent and Trademark Office on May 12 to trademark “The Royal

totally “dependent” on wife Meghan Markle “for his social life,” according to a royal expert.Since stepping back as senior members of the royal family in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex hightailed it across the pond in a bid to start afresh.Since uprooting his life and starting from scratch in Montecito, Calif., the duke has apparently done the same with his friendships.And royal author Phil Dampier claims that Harry now relies on his wife’s friendships for a lot of his social interactions in the Golden State.“I get the impression he hasn’t got a circle of drinking buddies he can unwind within Montecito, which has a population of older people, and I’m sure that takes its toll,” Dampier told Fabulous Magazine (via The Mirror).“Not only has he lost his family, his royal status and military connections, but he’s also lost a lot of friends,” he said, adding that there has been “a massive cost for Harry” leaving his home soil.Dampier says that the duke, 39, now depends on Markle, 42, “for his social life.”The expert’s comments echo that of Grant Harrold, who worked for the monarch for seven years when he was the Prince of Wales.Harrold recently claimed that Harry has cut all ties with friends he once shared with brother Prince William.“I know quite a few of Harry’s friends, who don’t hear from him at all now,” Harrold remarked.The duke was famously a no-show at his friend Jack Mann’s wedding in July — despite him being in the wedding party at their own nuptials.The Sussexes’ absence came as a surprise to guests, especially since Mann — who is a longtime polo friend of Harry’s — appeared in the “band of brothers” photo at Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018.Mann, who was reportedly known as Harry’s “unofficial best man,” has
