Carratt highlights that this isn't the first time Harry and Meghan missed out on an Emmy nomination. The 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview, though nominated in the "Outstanding Hosted Non-Fiction Series or Special" category, did not receive personal nominations for the couple. Carratt notes Megan's history as an actress, citing her seven seasons on "Suits," a show that never received Emmy or Golden Globe Award nominations. Megan was herself submitted for a nomination in 2018 but did not make the final cut.
While Megan was not invited to the Emmys, her father's friend, actress Christina Applegate, received a standing ovation at the awards. During her presentation, Applegate, using a cane due to her battle with multiple sclerosis, humorously quipped, "Body not by Ozempic," referencing Meghan's rumored use of Ozempic. Applegate's joke, while well-received, also hints at Megan's earlier involvement in the hit sitcom "Married with Children," where her father worked as a lighting director and Director of Photography. Megan's aspirations for prestigious awards, similar to Applegate's success, have led to speculation about an unhealthy fixation.
Christina Applegate's mention of "Kelly Bundy from Married with Children" serves as a playful nod to Megan's early involvement in the show. Some fans speculate that Megan's admiration for Applegate may not be entirely healthy, suggesting envy of Applegate's success and attention. Despite Megan attending the show every day after school, she has never mentioned Applegate by name, leading to the perception that Megan's lack of acting skills may fuel her envy of Applegate's achievements.
