It’s safe to say that 2024 didn’t go the way Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had hoped.

It was a rough 2023 for the duke and his wife in which they saw Spotify cancel the duchess’s podcast and end their multi-million partnership before a company executive called them “f****** grifters and they landed on The Hollywood Reporter’s “Biggest Losers” list. The couple then vowed that 2024 would be their “redemption year.”

However, the non-working royals suffered more career setbacks in the new year when the duke’s paperback edition of Spare had dismal sales and his Netflix documentary about polo flopped. Meanwhile, the duchess’ lifestyle brand faced issues with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and therefore never ended up selling any products. On top of that, Meghan was labeled a “demon boss” and “dictator in high heels” by more than a dozen former employees.

Now, an expert is explaining why the Sussexes may have reached the end of the road in terms of having any major successes professionally.

Expert says Prince Harry and Meghan made their beds and are now the ‘unpopular kids’

Jane Owen is a Hollywood publicist, who like everyone else remembers Meghan and Harry splitting from the royal family and having millions of dollars thrown their way almost as soon as they arrived on U.S. soil. And like the rest of us, Owen also remembers a lot of promises from the duke and duchess about what they were going to put out and create but not delivering much more than dirt on the royal family.

Because they haven’t done much of anything, Owen says they’re no longer popular and Hollywood elites aren’t lining up to work with them.

Owen told The Standard: “Quite frankly, they were given every opportunity to shine in Hollywood. They had a huge deal at a top streaming network with a massive budget and an audience eager to listen and watch. They have done worse than nothing — they have actively destroyed the opportunities they were given. I’ve always said Hollywood could be compared to high school in terms of how people behave, and to use that analogy they’ve become the most unpopular kids in school.”

Royal commentator agrees and insists the Sussexes can’t be taken seriously anymore

Royal commentator and To Di for Daily podcast Kinsey Scholfield agrees and insists that no one wants to work with the Sussexes now because “they can’t be taken seriously.”

During an episode of Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered, she opined: “[Harry and Meghan] have alienated themselves. They’ve made so many wrong moves that I don’t think they’re taken seriously anymore.”

Schofield also told Talk TV that she’s “never seen a more blissfully unaware couple. Their lack of self-awareness is the only thing they should be receiving trophies for … [it’s a] fact that Harry and Meghan have had many more failures than successes since they chose to step down as senior members of the royal family.”
