Katy Perry and Meghan Markle have ‘drifted’, according to a source.
The Hollywood pair are reportedly at odds after the California Girls hitmaker ‘picked sides’ with King Charles after she performed at the highly-publicised Coronation Concert.
The US superstar and her fiance, actor Orlando Bloom, are neighbours of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex as they live near the pair’s multi-million dollar mansion in the states.

But from what sources are saying, it seems the once close pair have seemingly drifted from Prince Harry and Meghan’s circle of friends.

An LA source told the Mail Online : “Katy was close at one point but she has been travelling a lot so it’s been hard to sustain a close friendship.”
Whilst another insider commented: “Katy performed at King Charles’ coronation concert, so perhaps she’s taken sides?”
This comes after The Daily Star previously revealed that Meghan Markle held a grudge against the firework singer over comments she made abut her wedding dress.

Whilst reports circulated the Duke of Sussex has reportedly struck up a friendship with fellow Brit Orlando Bloom, according to a Los Angeles source, the same cannot be said for their respective wives, Meghan Markle and Katy Perry.
An source exclusively told The Daily Star: “Orlando is very sympathetic towards Harry and Meghan and does reach out if he ever sees anything suspicious in the neighborhood.”
The source added: “However, Meghan is keenly aware of a comment that Katy Perry made in 2018 about her wedding dress and is notorious for holding a grudge.”
Katy Perry previously joked to Entertainment Tonight that she “would’ve done one more fitting.” when asked about the wedding during an event to promote American Idol in May of 2018, for which she is a popular judge on the programme.

According to our source, Meghan took this joke too personally and still holds Katy accountable to this day.
The LA source explained: “While the comment wasn’t meant to be hurtful, Meghan felt under siege at that time and was overwhelmed by arguments with staff, the Duchess of Cambridge, and Thomas Markle.”
They added: “I would not expect to see Meghan and Katy carpooling to PTA meetings anytime in the future!”
