Despite their efforts to break into the industry through deals with Spotify and Netflix, the couple has struggled to convince people of their talents, if any.
The Wall Street Journal and Rolling Stone magazine have labeled the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as a Hollywood flop after their £20 million Spotify deal fell through. In response, Meghan Markle is reportedly seeking to work on solo projects without the involvement of Prince Harry.
The Duchess believes she can achieve financial success independently and views the setback of losing the Spotify deal as a motivation to establish her own career.
Sources suggest that Megan Fields will have better prospects by focusing on individual projects separate from Harry, aiming to become a prominent figure in Hollywood in her own right.
In recent times, the couple has been undertaking more solo engagements, with Harry even attending the king's coronation alone. Megan's career shift aligns with reports suggesting her openness to new commercial opportunities. Once she achieves success, it is speculated that she may find a new husband within the Hollywood industry to further boost her career. The Duchess has aspirations to represent the renowned French fashion house, Dior, and revive her lifestyle blog, The Tig. It is believed that Megan, through leveraging her influence and connection with fans and consumers, could command significant financial rewards.
Meanwhile, Harry is engaged in his own projects as well. He is reportedly set to make a grand return to Africa for a new documentary with Netflix, embarking on this venture without the presence of Meghan Markle. This development comes as part of their $98 million deal with the streaming giant. However, Netflix has not officially confirmed the existence of this project, leaving room for speculation. Megan and Harry may also be considering a shift away from discussing palace-related topics in their content, as they seek to replace visibility with a focus on reconciliation in the upcoming year.
The couple's decision to step back from their royal duties has put them in a challenging position. Their private life has come at a considerable cost, despite their combined wealth. While the royal family wishes them no harm, they privately find amusement in the way the California-based couple has criticized and undermined the monarchy, which the family has diligently worked to preserve. King Charles and Queen Camilla have been particularly affected by this situation, considering it unnecessary and potentially haunting for Meghan and Harry in the long run.
The couple's attempts to establish themselves as global do-gooders haven't had the desired outcome for various reasons, leading to a rocky start. The impact of their announcement in January 2020 continues to resonate within the public's perception of them.
