Entertainment expert Mark Borman shared his perspective with Newsweek, stating that the transition from being a duke and duchess to Hollywood royalty has not been as seamless as anticipated. The couple has faced numerous setbacks and embarrassments within the industry. With the Academy Award nominations for the 96th ceremony announced, the upcoming event on March 10th could provide Prince Harry and Meghan Markle the chance to mingle with the elite winners of the entertainment world. Such an appearance could greatly benefit the couple's brand.
While Mark Borman's insights provide an expert opinion, a source close to WME staff recently revealed that Meghan Markle plans to host an Oscars party, seemingly inspired by Elton John. This comes as a result of not receiving an invitation to the Oscars. Although Misan Harman's short film "The After" has been nominated for an Academy Award, he refused to bring Meghan Markle to the red carpet due to her unreasonable demands. The reality is that the Sussexes have no legitimate reason to attend the Oscars and lack the necessary connections to secure an invitation.
It is worth noting that the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Award party, held annually in Los Angeles following the ceremony, has not extended an invitation to Meghan and Harry. However, Meghan's PR team and WME are keen on generating significant publicity by garnering media coverage of her own party. The agency, however, is concerned that Hollywood guests may decline Meghan's invite. Despite being working royals in the past, they have failed to make a meaningful impact at the Oscars. Their titles somewhat tarnished, and if they haven't made it to the A-list in the past four years, their chance may have passed.
According to a new report, it seems that the honeymoon phase between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Hollywood is coming to an end. BBC royal correspondent Michael Cole suggests that Americans have grown weary of the couple's constant drama, bringing nothing but negativity to everything they touch. Over the past year, they have done little more than alienate themselves from the US public and the powerful media companies that employ them, further deepening the divide between themselves and the Royal Family.
