According to a royal commentator, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seem to have been abandoned by their celebrity friends who once defended them, leaving them without support after their departure from senior royal roles in 2020.
Daniella Elsa claims that the couple, who previously had the backing of numerous high-profile celebrity friends, now find themselves adrift without the protection they once enjoyed. Recent reports suggest that Harry and Meghan are facing professional uncertainty following the loss of their $10 million Spotify contract.
Elsa highlights the current moment as an opportunity for their friends to show solidarity and publicly support them. However, she notes the absence of any well-known or prominent voices from the industry coming forward to defend the couple, not even a single one. Even Gail King, who speaks about the couple on breakfast TV when it suits her, publicly dismissed Spotify executive Bill Simmons' characterization of them as ungrateful grifters.
Elsa questions whether celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, James Corden, or podcast host Dax Shepard, who all conducted interviews with the Duke and Duchess, have come to their defense. Despite the initial support from A-list stars, Elsa believes that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are now left alone, wondering who in Hollywood wants to publicly align themselves with the controversial couple.
The commentator acknowledges that the couple is going through one of the most professionally challenging chapters of their lives. The deafening silence from their once-famous supporters has left them isolated. Following their highly charged interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, Beyoncé paid tribute to the couple, expressing her admiration for Meghan's courage and leadership. However, since then, there has been little public support from the A-list star or others.
Elsa questions whether these famous faces still view Meghan as inspirational and spunky. She also ponders if Harry and Meghan have found personal success and befriended California's elite. However, with estrangement from their families and the absence of strong voices to advocate for Harry, the couple is left wondering who has remained silent and deserted them.
