The alleged reason behind this decision is said to be security concerns surrounding the couple. Harry and Meghan, also known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have found themselves blacklisted by certain high-profile celebrities in Hollywood who fear that associating with them could potentially create tensions with Prince William and Kate Middleton.
The ongoing feud between the Sussexes and the British royal family, particularly with Prince William and Kate, has been a topic of intense debate in recent times. While the British royal family has faced its share of controversies over the years, Hollywood still values its connections with them.
Consequently, several prominent figures in the entertainment industry, including Steven Spielberg, Julia Louis Dreyfus, and Rob Lowe, have reportedly decided to maintain distance from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to avoid any potential complications.
The rift between Harry and Meghan and the rest of the royals escalated after their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021. Subsequently, Harry's revealing memoir shed light on his tumultuous experiences within the royal family, which only added fuel to the fire. In 2020, the couple stepped back from their royal duties and moved to Montecito, California, where tensions between them and the royals have remained palpable, especially with Prince William and Kate.
The reported exclusion of Harry and Meghan from Oprah Winfrey's birthday party this year further intensified rumors of their ostracization from high-profile Hollywood events. Hollywood insiders have expressed that the decision to distance themselves from the couple is partly influenced by financial interests. The big power players in Hollywood, aware of William and Kate's significance in the UK, are reportedly unwilling to jeopardize their business by being too closely associated with Harry and Meghan.
Moreover, the couple was even denied a flight on Air Force One by the White House when they sought a ride back to the US after the Queen's funeral. This move was seemingly aimed at safeguarding President Biden's relationship with the royal family.
In the midst of these controversies, royal expert Tom Bauer weighed in on the couple's current struggles, citing a crisis of identity, purpose, and finances. Despite rumors of Harry's desire to return to the UK and reconcile with his brother William, Bauer believes such a reunion is unlikely. Furthermore, Harry's documentary and book have caused internal conflicts within the royal family, adding to the challenges the couple is facing.
As speculation continues about the state of Harry and Meghan's marriage, royal expert Angela Levin raises concerns about Prince George, the son of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Levin warns that the negative influence of Harry's actions must be kept away from the young prince, as Kate has been actively preparing George to handle media attention.
Amidst this turmoil, Harry and Meghan's financial troubles and hurdles in their Netflix projects have been sources of additional strain on the couple. The prospect of Harry returning to the UK for a reunion with the royal family remains uncertain, given the alleged damage caused by his public statements and revelations about family conflicts."
