It is hard to deny that celebrity feuds now constitute an additional layer of entertainment for fans alongside their work in the industry. Especially with the rise of social media, Hollywood has become a stage for verbal sparring and feuds among famous faces. Besides the well-documented feuds involving Kanye West and Taylor Swift, and Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, Hollywood has been home to several quieter conflicts that did not attract the same level of attention, including that of Meghan Markle and Jennifer Aniston. 

Meghan Markle and Jennifer Aniston have had contrasting journeys in their careers. However, both actresses attained immense popularity, unlike their alleged discreet rivalry.

The Trojan War unfolded in the wake of Helen’s ethereal beauty. While in the golden streets of Hollywood, the alleged feud between Jennifer Aniston and Meghan Markle spun from the beauty of Brad Pitt. In the midst of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s divorce proceedings, Markle openly shared her desire to be the next Mrs. Pitt back in the early 2000s. This did not sit well with the Friends alum who reportedly spent the entire filming of Horrible Bosses, pointedly ignoring Meghan Markle.

Meghan Markle expressed her letdown about being edited down to only 30 seconds in the movie by allegedly bad-mouthing Aniston, as per the New Idea sources. Their speculated conflict reached a new low point when Aniston chose to like a post that attacked the Sussexes ahead of King Charles’ coronation. However, it was not just the Duchess who desired to be someone else’s wife. Her own spouse reportedly shared a similar emotion with Jennifer Aniston.
