Royal Family Feud: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Hollywood Image Takes a Hit
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's recent criticisms of the Royal Family are not sitting well in Hollywood, according to a prominent PR expert.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been at the center of attention since their relocation to Montecito, California in 2020.
Their ventures include a Netflix series detailing their departure from royal duties, Meghan's podcast on Spotify, and Harry's controversial memoir “Spare.”
Despite the international buzz surrounding these projects and the ongoing rift with the Royal Family, an expert warns that this may not bode well for their long-term careers.
Mark Borkofsky, a publicist and media strategist, expressed concerns about the couple's reputation in Hollywood, suggesting that they may have jeopardized their credibility.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Borkofsky highlighted the fickleness of Hollywood, emphasizing that success garners adoration while negativity can swiftly turn one into a pariah.
He criticized Harry and Meghan for overhyping themselves and failing to deliver on their promises, cautioning that excessive negativity is frowned upon in the entertainment industry.
As the Royal Family's image continues to suffer, Borkofsky believes the couple must devise a new strategy to regain favor.
The couple's woes were further compounded when The Hollywood Reporter labeled them as some of Hollywood's biggest disappointments.
Royal expert Kinsey Schofield expressed her belief that this title would be particularly hurtful to the Sussexes.
She remarked on GB News that the prestigious publication's assessment of Harry and Meghan as losers in Hollywood, despite their self-perception as elite figures, would undoubtedly sting.
The scathing critique cited the couple's underwhelming Netflix documentary, lackluster memoir, and unremarkable podcast as contributing factors to their fall from grace in Tinseltown.
The Hollywood Reporter's unflattering portrayal of Harry and Meghan as disillusioned figures within the entertainment industry has sent shockwaves through their camp.
The article's depiction of their brand as a sanctimonious facade waiting to burst has left many questioning the couple's standing in Hollywood.
With South Park being likened to the pen that punctured their bubble of self-importance, the couple's talent agency, William Morris Endeavor, is now faced with the daunting task of recalibrating their future trajectory.
Amidst the disappointment felt by many Americans who had eagerly welcomed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, there is a palpable sense of betrayal and disillusionment towards the couple's perceived deceitful narrative.
