It’s not a secret that Prince Harry and Meghan are scratching at the surface to get new deals, whereas just three years ago, they were Hollywood’s hot cakes.
Now, all that intense excitement to work with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have all but died down, and they’re left trying to win more deals.
While some believe it’s only a matter of time before the couple make a big comeback, others think their brand is fizzling out.
Harry and Meghan’s Hollywood dreams haven’t come cheap to their families, and it’s not coming as easy for them as they might have hoped.
Celebrity PR Firm Director Questions Harry And Meghan’s Hollywood Longevity
When Harry and Meghan left the royal family, their controversial exit gave rise to a media storm. To further prove their place in Hollywood, they did multiple interviews, several of them throwing deep accusations at the Royal Family, and we’re yet to see the receipts their mouthpieces promised us.
Harry accused his family of “generational pain,” Meghan cried “neglect,” and they both wailed “racism.”
This all meant that they were powering up their brand to become the latest royal family gossips in Hollywood. However, when they tried to rebrand and shift away from producing royal family content, things started happening.
“It’s backfired on them spectacularly and I think that’s going to be tough for them to take. I don’t doubt that Harry and Meghan are now scratching their heads, wondering where it all went wrong,” director of celebrity PR firm Borne Media, Denise Palmer-Davies, said.
Meghan Markle “Struggling” To Understand Why She’s So Unpopular
Most of the projects Meghan is attached to in recent days turn out to be rumors. Does it mean that Hollywood’s turning their backs on the once sought-after couple?
Sarah Hewson, Talk TV’s royal editor, seems to think so. “OK, so the Netflix documentary was a big hit, but it did take its toll on their popularity because her Archetypes podcast was dropped. And there was talk of her teaming up with luxury brands that didn’t materialise.”
Their split from Spotify was especially not as amicable as they would have liked, with a top Hollywood exec calling them “grifters.”
“With Kate and William’s popularity soaring [in America], there must be a sense of this is ‘my turf’ and she is struggling with understanding why she is so unpopular,” Hewson opined, adding, “Are her and Harry now too toxic to work with? It will be interesting to see where her talent agents take her next, and I know there is talk of a book, but I think she is really grappling with what she will do next.”
