Harry and Megan’s Netflix Documentary Struggles to Make Waves in Hollywood

A recent development in the world of entertainment has seen journalist Neil Sean reporting that Megan, the Duchess of Sussex, has urged Liz Garbus, the director of a Netflix documentary, to submit the film to prestigious awards shows such as the Golden Globes, the Emmys, and the Oscars.

The documentary, titled “Megan and Harry,” is helmed by the acclaimed director Liz Garbus, who brings a fresh perspective to the globally discussed love story.

Despite the director’s efforts, Hollywood appears uninterested in embracing Harry and Megan into its fold.

A source close to the stars in Los Angeles revealed that Harry and Megan have never received an invitation to the prestigious Oscars ceremony.

Megan Markle’s reputation, predating her acting career on “Suits,” often precedes her, with some labeling her as a malignant narcissist.

Surprisingly, despite the recent announcements of nominations for the 80th Golden Globes and the 95th Academy Awards, Megan did not secure a nomination, raising eyebrows in the industry.

The controversy surrounding Harry and Megan escalated when an Australian TV host openly mocked Megan, suggesting that she should win an Oscar for her perceived narcissistic behavior.

Sky News host Rita Panahi highlighted the criticism the couple faced, even from left-leaning media outlets like Politico, which labeled Megan as a narcissist.

Australian media personality Sophie Ellsworth joined the chorus of disapproval, expressing fatigue with the couple’s narrative and branding Megan as a “shocker” who profits from tarnishing the royal family’s image.

Ellsworth pointed out Harry’s upcoming book release and Megan’s podcast and documentary projects as contributing factors to public weariness with their constant complaints.

She emphasized that the couple’s victim narrative may soon wear thin with audiences, leading to a decline in their financial success.

Panahi echoed these sentiments, noting that the couple’s lucrative Netflix deal might not sustain them for long.

In their Netflix docuseries, “Harry and Megan,” the Sussexes recounted their trip to Australia in 2018 as a pivotal moment in their relationship with the royal family.

The couple’s popularity during the tour reportedly threatened other members of the monarchy, causing internal tensions.

Despite the positive reception from the public, the couple’s rise to prominence created unease within Buckingham Palace, as highlighted in the documentary.

However, the Netflix series chronicling Harry and Megan’s journey has failed to maintain its initial success on the streaming platform.

While initially ranking in the top ten shows on Netflix, the docuseries has slipped from the top five positions following the holiday season’s influx of new releases.

Current Netflix charts showcase other titles like “The Witcher,” “Blood Origin,” and “Wednesday” leading the rankings, with “Harry and Megan” trailing at number seven in the top ten list.

As the entertainment industry continues to scrutinize Harry and Megan’s endeavors, the couple faces mounting criticism and skepticism regarding their future prospects in Hollywood.

Despite their attempts to carve out a niche in the industry, challenges persist as they navigate public perception and industry dynamics.
