The publication specifically criticized the Sussexes' Netflix biography, considering it to be Prince Harry's misguided venture. It further claimed that the couple's brand was nothing more than a sanctimonious bubble, waiting to be burst. In a South Park episode, Meghan and Harry were also subjected to scathing satire, further fueling the public's mockery of the couple. The Golden Globe Awards, hosted by comedian Joe Koy, saw Meghan and Harry being targeted once again.
These continuous bouts of public criticism have led royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams to brand the couple as failures in the realm of Hollywood. Fitzwilliams expressed his disappointment over their lack of clear future projects, emphasizing the underwhelming performance of their Archewell Audio deal with Spotify. Additionally, Meghan's agency, WME, has yet to produce any notable projects. Consequently, the couple's reputation in the entertainment industry has taken a significant hit.
Last November, Meghan and Harry hinted at exciting ventures in the pipeline, yet nothing has materialized thus far. Recent reports suggest that Meghan even filed for unemployment benefits with California authorities amid the couple's ongoing crisis. Leaked documents circulating online even bear Meghan's name. However, there seems to be skepticism surrounding her eligibility for unemployment, as she has not been employed in California since her return from January 1, 2023, until May 6, 2023, when she attended Charles's coronation.
Although an insider source confirmed Megan's application for unemployment benefits, local government officials have reportedly rejected her case. The reason being her utilization of 11 shell companies to loan money, which raises concerns about the legitimacy of her claims. The authorities refuse to allocate any further taxpayer resources to what they perceive as a fraudulent scheme. It should be noted that Megan would only qualify for unemployment benefits if she had been on a company's payroll in California for a specified duration. Engaging in activities such as selling products, services, books, movies, or TV shows to corporations does not fall under the category of employment.
Meghan's employment status since returning to California has been self-employed. As a self-employed individual, she has not contributed to state and federal unemployment insurance. However, Meghan seems to believe that she is putting in significant effort and work, participating in photoshoots, brainstorming sessions, planning, scheming, attending events, and orchestrating PR releases to maintain her fame. Yet, a local newspaper, Express, in America remains unimpressed with the couple's credentials. Harry, a high school graduate with no distinct skills, appears to lack substantial offerings, while Meghan, a 47-year-old former actress, is just one among many producers and directors in Hollywood. The public is growing tired of their recurrent depiction as victims within their narratives concerning the Royals.
As Meghan Markle and Prince Harry navigate their future in the entertainment industry, the question of their Hollywood success remains uncertain. With their reputation tarnished and a lack of substantial projects on the horizon, they face an uphill battle to regain their footing in Tinsel Town.
