Meghan Markle Accused of Running for Best Actress in Controversial Documentary
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have found themselves at the center of a storm of controversy following the release of their bombshell documentary series on Netflix in December.
Washington-based foreign policy expert and royal family enthusiast Nile Gardner has accused Meghan of putting on a performance worthy of a Best Actress award in the six-part program.
According to Gardner, the documentary series seemed more like the “Meghan Markle show,” with Prince Harry playing a supporting role to her lead.
He remarked that Meghan appeared to be acting throughout all the interviews, while Harry seemed disinterested and uncomfortable at times.
Gardner even went as far as to liken the couple's allegations against the royal family to a media-launched “cruise missile,” causing irreparable damage to their relations with Buckingham Palace and the British public.
Gardner's scathing assessment concluded that Meghan and Harry have crossed a line with their latest attacks on the royal family, burning bridges and destroying any remaining goodwill that may have existed.
Despite the drama surrounding their documentary, Meghan's hopes of receiving a Best Actress nomination at the 80th annual Golden Globe Awards were dashed.
Her portrayal as a victim of the royal family was believed to be her standout performance of the year.
Reports suggest that Meghan is contemplating a return to acting in pursuit of an Oscar, seeking to improve her tarnished reputation amidst the backlash from recent projects.
Allegedly, Meghan sees acting as a way to showcase her talent and regain popularity, especially as her other ventures face criticism.
Sources claim that she believes a well-suited role could help her make a significant impact and revitalize her brand.
However, Meghan and Prince Harry's ambitions in Hollywood seem to be faltering.
Welsh journalist Cara Kennedy noted that the couple lacks the charisma and charm required to thrive in the entertainment industry.
Hollywood insiders are reportedly cooling towards the Sussexes, gradually excluding them from high-profile events and engagements.
Kennedy highlighted the dilemma of blending monarchy with celebrity, emphasizing that Meghan and Harry are struggling to find acceptance in either world.
As Hollywood distances itself from the couple, doubts arise about their ability to navigate the complex terrain of fame and royalty.
The once-revered duo now face the harsh reality of being viewed merely as celebrities, lacking the status and reverence associated with traditional royalty.
With their aspirations to straddle both realms proving challenging, Meghan and Harry are encountering increasing resistance and alienation in their quest for acceptance.
