Royal Ambitions: Harry and Meghan’s Oscar Dreams Meet Reality

Despite their departure from royal duties, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seem intent on clinging to the fame associated with their former titles.

The couple recently released a Netflix docuseries titled “Harry and Meghan,” which has been met with widespread criticism.

Many viewers found it to be a mix of self-indulgence and melodrama, with Meghan often appearing shocked while Harry looked bewildered at her reactions.

According to journalist Neil Sean, Meghan had a hand in directing Liz Garbus, the Emmy-winning filmmaker behind the series.

Sources suggest that Meghan urged Garbus to submit the docuseries for major award nominations.

However, one can't help but wonder if Garbus regrets collaborating with the couple, given the negative reception the show has received.

Meghan has long harbored aspirations for an Oscar.

A close source disclosed that as a child, she would practice acceptance speeches in front of the mirror, using a hairbrush as a stand-in trophy.

Her ultimate ambition, known as the EGOT, involves winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony.

Two years ago, her former agent confirmed that Meghan was eager to return to acting, which could reignite tensions within the royal family.

While Harry is supportive of Meghan's ambitions, sources indicate that his brother, Prince William, disapproves.

William reportedly finds the idea of Meghan returning to the screen to be in poor taste, a sentiment he believes the late Queen would share.

This disagreement could further strain the already tense relationship between the two brothers.

The chances of Harry and Meghan receiving accolades for their docuseries seem slim.

Critics have likened the emotional depth of the show to that of a children's puppet show.

Although the documentary attracted millions of views, it has faced backlash for its content, particularly regarding the couple's grievances against the royal family.

Even prominent figures like Gayle King have expressed skepticism about the project's merit, suggesting that the once-friendly media landscape has shifted dramatically.

It's worth noting that Oprah Winfrey, who previously supported Meghan, has also distanced herself from endorsing any of her recent endeavors.

Despite the millions who tuned in, the couple's insistence on retaining their titles as Duke and Duchess of Sussex has not shielded them from criticism.

Meghan has been labeled a narcissist by various publications, which adds another layer of complexity to their public image.

Once seen as a fresh addition to the royal family, the Markles now seem to be losing their appeal.

The days when they were afforded multiple chances to redeem themselves appear to be fading.

The public sentiment has shifted, leaving many feeling that it's time to move on from the drama surrounding Harry and Meghan.

With the announcement of the 95th Academy Awards nominations, it's clear that their Netflix docuseries did not make the cut.

Unless an unexpected intervention occurs, such as a surprising endorsement from the Kennedy family, it looks unlikely that the couple will receive any prestigious awards this season.

As the year draws to a close, it seems that Harry and Meghan's aspirations for high-profile recognition may remain unfulfilled.

The tide of public opinion appears to be turning against them, leaving their future in the limelight uncertain.

The couple's journey continues to unfold, but for now, it seems they're facing a tough reality check.
