Pop legend Mariah Carey has allegedly snubbed Meghan Markle during a high-profile gathering at Sandringham, sparking fresh speculation about tensions between the two stars.
According to sources, the "All I Want for Christmas Is You" singer avoided interacting with the Duchess of Sussex, fuelling rumours of a frosty relationship. The incident has reignited chatter about Carey's so-called "diva demands" during royal engagements.
Royal Event Turns Awkward
Eyewitnesses claim Carey appeared to deliberately steer clear of Markle throughout the event at the Queen's Norfolk estate. "There was a noticeable distance between them all evening," one insider revealed.
The apparent snub comes months after reports surfaced about Carey's extensive backstage requirements during previous royal appearances. Palace staff reportedly found some requests challenging to accommodate.
History of Tension
This isn't the first time Carey's name has been linked to royal protocol controversies. In 2022, there were whispers about "unreasonable demands" made during preparations for a performance at Windsor Castle.
Royal commentators suggest such incidents highlight the "clash between celebrity culture and royal tradition", with Sandringham staff said to prefer working with more low-key guests.
