Meghan Markle's Agony as Santa Barbara Film Festival Slams Her: Labeled an A-D Lister!

Meghan Markle finds herself in a deeply emotional predicament as the Santa Barbara Film Festival delivers a severe blow by canceling her virtuosos award, effectively signaling that they no longer wish to have her presence grace their esteemed event. It appears that the festival organizers have grown weary of the antics displayed by Meghan and Prince Harry. The public's patience with the formerly royal couple is evidently wearing thin, and even the godfather of their son Archie, who happens to be Harry's best friend, has made the extraordinary decision to exclude them from his upcoming society wedding. Meghan, known for her penchant for media attention, must be particularly devastated by the news that Hugh Grosvenor, The Duke of Westminster, has taken the unusual step of banning her and Harry from attending his society wedding. 

Moreover, there is mounting pressure on Parliament to strip them of their royal titles. Meghan's recent escapade in Hollywood, where she boldly attended an event without a formal invitation and garnered attention on the red carpet, exemplifies her blatant disregard for protocols and formalities. However, even such audacious behavior has its limits. Meghan and Harry now find themselves uninvited from an event in Santa Barbara, where they currently reside. Sources have revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been unceremoniously blacklisted from the Santa Barbara Film Festival for a multitude of reasons. 

This renowned festival, known for recognizing outstanding performances and films, recently unveiled its list of virtuosos award recipients, a prestigious honor celebrating noteworthy contributions to the industry. Notable actors such as Danielle Brooks, Coleman Domingo, America Ferrera, and Andrew Scott have all joined the virtuoso list.

The ceremony, scheduled for February 10th, 2024, will feature these talented individuals discussing their work with Turner Classic Movies host Dave Karger. The Santa Barbara Film Festival is a grand gathering of A-list stars and prominent figures in the Santa Barbara area, making it an event of significant magnitude.

Despite her attempts to secure a spot on the red carpet through WME, Megan's Z-list celebrity status and absence from the nomination list made it challenging for her to be accommodated, considering the festival's grandeur. Additionally, concerns were raised about the potential paparazzi frenzy and disruption to the serene atmosphere of the event, where VIPs and celebrities typically move about without hindrance.

Local residents of Montecito, many of whom are wealthier than Megan herself, are likely relieved that they won't have to endure her presence. They have often referred to her as a social-climbing D-list actress who seems to have Prince Harry under her influence. One can't help but wonder if Harry ever wakes up in disbelief at the life he's now living.

The 39th Annual Santa Barbara Film Festival, running from February 7th to 17th, has already begun announcing its honorees. Bradley Cooper will receive the Outstanding Performer of the Year award, while Ryan Gosling will be honored with the Kirk Douglas Award for Excellence in Film. More honorees are yet to be revealed.

In 2023, the Santa Barbara Film Festival celebrated award contenders, including eventual Oscar winners like Jamie Lee Curtis, Brendan Fraser, and Cate Blanchett, alongside other prominent figures in the industry. Meghan Markle's fall from grace in the world of Hollywood and high society appears to be accelerating, raising questions about whether she and Prince Harry will learn from these experiences or continue down a path that distances them further from acceptance and respect.
