Being members of the royal family naturally makes them newsworthy, but Crook pointed out that their sensationalist departure from the Royal Family and their simultaneous pursuit of privacy while signing multi-million-dollar deals with platforms like Netflix and Spotify appear contradictory. This, in her view, epitomizes the notion of being famous for no discernible reason.
Earlier this year, the couple faced embarrassment when Spotify terminated their podcast deal, labeling them as "grifters." Crook argued that this incident underscored the couple's limited offerings. She even likened them to the Kardashians within the royal family, suggesting that there is ample material for satire surrounding their actions, which often appear disconnected from a clear purpose.
In a related development, rumors circulated that Kim Kardashian had allegedly blocked Meghan Markle from attending GQ's 2023 Men of the Year party, leading Meghan to attend the Variety Gala instead. Kim Kardashian was among the cover faces of the 2023 GQ Men of the Year issue, alongside actor Jacob Ai and musician Travis Scott. This trio hosted the Los Angeles event to celebrate the annual issue.
It was reported in a blind item that Meghan had attempted to purchase tickets for the GQ party but was thwarted by the Kardashians. Kim Kardashian and fashion designer Tom Ford, who are connected to the event, were believed to be apprehensive about Meghan Markle's presence potentially causing disruptions due to her publicity tactics.
Furthermore, it seems that the Beckhams, who are friends with Harry and Meghan, are getting closer to Kim Kardashian. Victoria Beckham, in particular, praised Kim Kardashian's iconic pink dress designed exclusively for her VBSS 24 show in Paris. The Beckhams were reportedly upset after being accused of leaking stories by the California-based royal couple. David Beckham's decision to accept an invitation from King Charles to discuss the possibility of becoming an ambassador for the Prince's Foundation may further strain their relationship with Harry and Meghan.
