The diva duchess, 44, and her husband, Prince Harry, 41, were schmoozing up a storm at Kris’ star-studded 70th birthday bash on Nov. 8, when they got a rare chance to rub shoulders with a litany of A-listers, including Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Adele and Martha Stewart, according to People.

As soon as the fame-hungry pair arrived at the bash, they wasted no time kissing up to anyone with a bold-faced name, says the source.
“Meghan was like a kid in a candy store, networking and handing out her details to everyone who came their way,” says an insider.
“She has the utmost respect for Kris and is pretty awestruck that she’s now on a first-name basis with the likes of Kim, Khloé and their vast network of friends,” the source says.

The lifestyle mogul is hoping her new friendship with Kris and her family will mark a fresh start for her and Harry, who’ve become the scourge of Hollywood since quitting the British royal family and moving to California in 2020.
They’ve already been dumped by big names, including the Clooneys, Barack and Michelle Obama and the Beckhams, who reportedly found them toxic and tedious.
The duchess has now stooped to trying to befriend the TV clan in a frantic effort to revive her struggling brand, As Ever.
She’s casting her net far and wide in search of big bucks and social-climbing opportunities — even offering herself and Harry up for appearances on The Kardashians, insiders claim.

And the news is music to Kris’ ears. “It’s common knowledge Kris wants to write them into the script for an upcoming episode of The Kardashians, while Khloé’s excited to collab with Meghan on her As Ever brand,” says an insider.
According to our source, “There’s even talk about Harry being involved in Kim’s underwear brand Skims at some stage, too. Slowly but surely they’re being integrated into the Kardashians’ world and they’ll be spending time together over the holiday season, too.”
“It’s a lot for Harry to take in, but as Meghan points out, there’s nobody in L.A. who’s better connected or more skilled at making money and brand-building than Kris. So he’s not in any position to argue,” the source adds.
