Adding to their disappointments, the couple lost their lucrative Spotify deal and were noticeably absent from the star-studded guest list at Obama's 60th birthday party, which attracted renowned public figures and celebrities.
Furthermore, the Sussexes found themselves excluded from attending the prestigious Met Gala, and Megan's invitation to Archie's fourth birthday party was snubbed by A-list celebrities.
Despite extending invitations to high-profile individuals such as Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, the former "Suits" star faced rejection from these celebrity figures.
Notably, even pop superstar Taylor Swift declined an opportunity to join the couple's now-defunct podcast, despite receiving a personal letter from Meghan herself. It appears that the social elite in Washington and Hollywood stars are distancing themselves from Harry and his wife, as a royal commentator recently pointed out. Hillary Fordwich expressed disappointment, stating that the couple had squandered a chance to promote diversity in the royal family and strengthen the US-UK relationship.
It is disheartening to witness the Sussexes' missed opportunities, as they once enjoyed almost universal support and hope for the positive changes they could bring. Whether it was fostering diversity or nurturing transatlantic relations, they had the backing of many. However, their choice to denigrate the royal family has seemingly cost them the loyalty and support they once had.
With their US careers now on shaky ground, it raises the question of who remains in their corner. Surprisingly, not a single famous or prominent industry voice has come forward to defend the duo. Gail King, a close friend, has discussed the couple on breakfast TV but has yet to publicly challenge the characterization of them as "grifters." Neither Oprah Winfrey, James Corden, nor podcaster Dax Shepard, who have all conducted headline-making interviews with the couple, have stepped up to their defense.
Even Beyoncé, who publicly supported Meghan after their Oprah interview in 2021, remains silent amid their current struggles. In their Netflix series, Meghan is seen receiving a text message from the music icon, a moment that was only made public through the cameras. One wonders if Beyoncé still views Meghan as an inspiring and courageous figure.
Meanwhile, Camilla Tominey of The Telegraph recently painted a bleak picture of Harry's relationships with his British friends. Many have reportedly felt ignored since the Duke's wedding, and even his staunchest supporters are growing impatient with his consistently negative attitude.
As an insider shared, hardly anyone maintains contact with him anymore, and even those who stood by his side are beginning to distance themselves. It seems that he rarely shows interest in others and frequently complains.
Take, for example, Priyanka Chopra, who was rumored to have formed a close bond with Meghan after meeting at a women in TV event. She attended their wedding as a guest and defended Meghan in an interview with The Times, stating that if anyone could handle the intrusive media, it was her. However, it has been years since they were last seen together, raising questions about the state of their friendship.
The Hollywood landscape appears to have shifted dramatically for Harry and Meghan, leaving them isolated and abandoned by many of their former allies. The road ahead seems uncertain, and the couple must navigate this challenging terrain as they face dwindling support and few familiar faces in their corner.
