Prince Harry’s latest media appearance took an unexpected turn when comedian Andrew Schulz openly criticized him on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast, calling the Duke of Sussex a "big loser." The blunt remark quickly went viral, sparking widespread debate. However, Schulz’s words echo a growing sentiment—Harry is no longer seen as the independent, respected figure he once was. Instead, many believe he has sacrificed his family, reputation, and dignity under the influence of Meghan Markle.
It wasn’t long ago that Prince Harry was one of the most beloved members of the **Royal Family**—a war hero, a charismatic prince, and a symbol of modern royalty. But ever since marrying Meghan Markle, his public image has taken a dramatic turn. Instead of remaining a well-respected figure, Harry has become a **source of controversy and ridicule**. Schulz’s harsh criticism is just the latest reflection of how the world now sees him.
From airing **family grievances** on Oprah to publishing his explosive memoir *Spare*, Harry has systematically distanced himself from the very institution that once defined him. The **once-charming and relatable prince** has now become a paradox—**denouncing media intrusion** while simultaneously using it to fuel his personal narrative.
It’s no secret that **Meghan Markle** has played a major role in **Harry’s transformation**. Before their relationship, Harry was known for his **strong bond with his family** and his sense of duty. However, Meghan—often accused of **chasing fame**—reportedly encouraged him to **turn against the monarchy**.
Her strategy was clear from the beginning: she positioned herself and Harry as **victims** of the Royal Family, painting a narrative of **oppression and exclusion**. Yet, the hypocrisy is hard to ignore—while they claim to **seek privacy**, they have made millions through **Netflix and Spotify deals** that expose royal secrets.
Their decision to **step back from royal duties** was initially seen as a bold move toward independence. However, as time has passed, it has become clear that the couple **miscalculated Hollywood’s response**.
- Netflix, once eager to work with them, has reportedly been disappointed with their content.
- Spotify dropped Meghan’s Archetypes podcast after failing to generate expected numbers.
- Top industry figures, including Spotify’s Bill Simmons, have openly criticized them, calling them "grifters."
Meanwhile, **King Charles, Prince William, and the rest of the Royal Family** continue to **thrive** without Harry and Meghan. **Charles remains focused on his reign**, and **William has stepped into a stronger leadership role**, earning widespread admiration.
Far from crumbling in their absence, the monarchy appears **stronger than ever**, free from unnecessary drama.
What **Andrew Schulz** said on *Club Shay Shay* wasn’t just a comedic jab—it was a reflection of **how Harry is now perceived** by the public. Unless he changes course, the Duke of Sussex risks becoming a **cautionary tale of lost potential** rather than the modern royal he once aspired to be.
