Harry and Meghan’s Hollywood Freeze-Out: A Closer Look
Amidst rumors and whispers, it appears that Harry and Meghan are finding themselves excluded from various high-profile events, ranging from the Queen’s pre-funeral gathering to exclusive Hollywood soirées.
The couple seems to be facing a cold shoulder in Tinseltown, with reports suggesting that they are not on the guest lists for prominent events such as the Oscars, the Met Gala, or other high-profile parties.
According to an article in The Spectator by Kara Kennedy, a source from Los Angeles revealed that one A-list celebrity deliberately omitted Harry and Meghan from an event due to concerns about their tendency to overshare.
Another reason cited for their exclusion is their perceived lack of charisma and dedication required to be considered A-list celebrities.
Kennedy emphasized that contemporary stardom demands more than just name recognition; it necessitates charisma, dedication, and charm, qualities that, in her opinion, the Sussexes seem to lack.
This realization has not only dawned upon Britain but is also beginning to resonate within the echelons of Hollywood.
The latest snub came when Harry and Meghan were left off the guest list for the Ralph Lauren fashion show, a prestigious event held at the Huntington Museum in San Marino, just a stone’s throw away from their residence in Montecito.
The star-studded affair saw the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Mindy Carling, Diane Keaton, and other notable personalities in attendance, further highlighting the Sussexes’ absence.
Tina Brown, a well-known figure in the entertainment industry, went as far as labeling Harry and Meghan as “D-listers” and deemed them below par by Hollywood standards.
Comparing their estimated net worth of $22 million to the colossal fortunes of icons like Jay-Z and Beyoncé, whose wealth surpasses $1.4 billion, or Tyler Perry and Ellen DeGeneres, with net worths exceeding $800 million and $500 million respectively, underscores the financial disparity between the Sussexes and established Hollywood elites.
As speculation mounts about their financial prospects, royal commentator Neil Sean suggests that Harry and Meghan may explore avenues such as infomercials to augment their income streams.
Sean points out that despite initially being media darlings, their earning potential hinges on their ability to endorse products effectively.
Reflecting on their earlier popularity post-Megxit, Sean remarks on the fleeting nature of stardom and the imperative of generating revenue through various commercial ventures.
He underscores the volatility of the entertainment industry, where lucrative deals can vanish in an instant, as evidenced by Netflix’s decision to shelve Meghan’s animated series, “Pearl.”
Amid uncertainties surrounding their future income sources, Sean hints at the possibility of the couple venturing into the realm of infomercials as a means of financial stability.
While acknowledging that past non-working royals have dabbled in such endeavors, Sean cautions that embracing infomercials could potentially lead to awkward situations down the line.
Nevertheless, he underscores the pragmatic reality that financial exigencies may necessitate unconventional career choices, even if they entail appearing in commercials to bolster their earnings.
