Meghan at the pal who hated her passion for emojis

IT HAS become the curse of modern communication: writing a scathing text message about someone and then accidentally sending it to them. Now imagine compounding the horror by recording an uncomplimentary voice note about Meghan Markle – and then pinging it to her phone by mistake.

Well, we’ve heard that this very thing happened to a friend of Meghan, a woman who apparently has a knack for falling out with friends over perceived slights at the best of times.

While we can’t disclose the name of this friend, I do hear that the person is mortified over the incident. After all, it’s hard to claim someone else has played a prank when it is so obviously your voice on the recording.

Needless to say, the incident has allegedly soured relations with the duchess.

Says our source: ‘One of Meghan’s British friends fell out with her because Meghan was writing all these messages with loads of emojis. The friend dictated a WhatsApp voice note saying, “God, Meghan is so annoying with all her emojis, she keeps sending me all these emojis.”

‘But then the friend sent the voice memo to Meghan herself by accident instead of sending it to a mutual friend.’

With this particular friend now seemingly off the Easter card list, Meghan and Harry’s collection of close British friends seems to have been whittled down even further.

Who can forget how old friends such as Harry’s former ‘wing man’ Tom Inskip were not invited to the evening reception at Frogmore House following the couple’s wedding, while the likes of Oprah Winfrey made the list, even though Harry barely knew her.

We also hear that the couple no longer speak much to Jack Mann, one of Harry’s oldest friends. At one stage Jack was being tipped to be the prince’s best man.
