The release of Omid Scobie's "Endgame" dealt a significant blow to hopes of reconciliation between the couple and the royal family. Royal commentator Rafi Hillman expressed on GB News, "I think this has been a disastrous year for the monito duo, topping and tailing with two disastrous books—'Spare,' which made them a laughing stock globally, and 'Endgame.'"
Harry and Meghan faced particular backlash for not addressing the issues raised by Omid Scobie in his book, despite experts advising them to distance themselves from the author. Recently, Megan was labeled a narcissist by US tech radio host Kim Commando. Commando remarked, "Why would I want to get in touch with a narcissistic woman who's married to the former Royal known as Prince?"
Media perceptions are shifting, with many realizing the truth about Harry and Meghan. PR Guru Mark Bowski suggests that the Sussexes might need to change their tactics in the new year to remain relevant. He emphasizes that 2024 could be either the best or worst year for them. Bowski points out that show business is attracted to success and financial gains, and negative perceptions may be detrimental to their brand. The ongoing scrutiny surrounding the Sussexes is seen as a black hole in Tinsel Town, and a shift in approach is deemed necessary for their continued relevance in the industry.
