Prince Harry is reportedly devastated after what insiders described as a humiliating rejection by Hollywood icon John Travolta, who allegedly ended their friendship without warning. The Duke of Sussex, 40, is said to be spiraling after being “ghosted” by the Grease actor, leaving him paranoid and hurt.
Sources told The National Enquirer that Travolta began backing away from Harry earlier this year, following the actor’s growing connection with Sam Asghari, Britney Spears’ ex-husband and a rising figure in Hollywood’s elite social circles.
Harry had reportedly believed he shared a special bond with Travolta, especially after the actor awarded him the title of “Living Legend of Aviation” last year. However, critics from the aviation community questioned the move, noting Harry’s limited flight credentials. One industry insider said the honor was purely symbolic and not based on any meaningful contribution.
Despite the backlash, Harry considered Travolta a trusted friend. They had connected over their admiration for Princess Diana, whom Travolta famously danced with at the White House in 1985. That bond seemed to deepen after a Beverly Hills lunch in early 2023, which many believed marked the start of a strong Hollywood alliance.
Harry suspects betrayal as Travolta cuts contact
But that relationship has since collapsed. Insiders revealed that Travolta has quietly declined Harry’s recent invitations, often offering vague excuses or simply ignoring the messages. A source close to the couple said Harry feels betrayed and confused about why the actor would suddenly pull away.
The Duke reportedly suspects outside influence may be at play. One source claimed Harry believes his brother, Prince William, might be sabotaging his reputation behind the scenes. They said Harry has grown increasingly paranoid, even contemplating calling Travolta directly to demand answers.
Harry is said to be particularly shaken because he thought Travolta could play a major role in helping restore the couple’s fading star power. Meghan Markle, 43, allegedly saw the actor as a much-needed endorsement for their struggling brand.
The snub comes during a critical time for the Sussexes, who are still reeling from the lukewarm reception to Meghan’s lifestyle label As Ever. While it earned some support from celebrities like Chrissy Teigen and Kris Jenner, the absence of backing from A-listers like Oprah Winfrey and the Obamas has left the couple scrambling.
A source told The National Enquirer that Meghan had high hopes that Travolta would elevate their image. However, Travolta has reportedly chosen to focus on his own projects and has no interest in being part of the Sussexes’ narrative.
One insider close to Travolta said he respects the royal couple but no longer wants to be pulled into their ongoing public drama.
They added that the actor is moving on, and he is now prioritizing relationships that don’t come with strings attached or global tabloid attention.
