Meghan Markle has reportedly suffered a "pretty big blow" following a Hollywood snub.
A source has said the Sussexes have been "rejected" by Kris Jenner, not long after polls showed the popularity of the Sussexes declining.
A source told Closer UK: “Kris has a lot on her plate, but ultimately people can’t help but wonder if she’s dropped them because she’s seen the disastrous opinion polls on the Sussexes."
They added that following the reported block by Kris Jenner, Meghan has been left "humiliated" as she initially had her reservations about working with the Kardashians.

The source added: "No doubt they [Harry and Meghan] felt they were lowering their standards a little by associating with the Kardashians, so to end up being rejected by them is a pretty big blow.
"Meghan had eventually come around to the idea and was excited to be working with Kardashians…so it’s beyond humiliating for her to be tossed aside."
It comes as Markle's mother Doria Ragland has previously been pictured alongside Jenner and Kim Kardashian at the This Is About Humanity's annual soiree in Los Angeles.

One insider told Us Magazine: "You’re established in one world and then you enter another and your narrative is dictated by external forces.
"Meghan has transitioned from actress to royal to entrepreneur...She’s worn many hats, but she believes age and experience have [prepared her] for a bigger purpose in life. She’s very happy with the role she’s carved out.
"After Spare, [Harry and Meghan] realised, ‘OK, we’re ready to move on. We want to focus on our future...We can have meaning and importance separate from the lives we had previously.' Meghan doesn’t harbour any negative feelings. She just wants peace, and knows you can’t find peace if you harbour resentments."
