Royal Humiliation: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Face Backlash in Hollywood
Since stepping back from their royal duties and financial support, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been striving to establish themselves independently.
However, a return to Hollywood for Meghan seems unlikely as she grapples with feelings of humiliation stemming from a recent animated series satire.
Despite South Park's history of poking fun at royals like Prince William and Catherine, a new report suggests that Meghan has been left embarrassed by the show's portrayal of her and Harry.
The latest edition of the National Enquirer reveals that Meghan is struggling to accept being the subject of ridicule, with a source expressing how crushing it must be for her to realize she's become the target of jokes.
Adding to the distress, Prince Harry is reportedly sharing similar sentiments, feeling as though his aspirations in America have taken a nightmarish turn.
The couple's attempt to transition into a normal life post-royalty has faced criticism, particularly regarding their lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify, which some argue lack substantial experience beyond their royal titles.
In early 2020, reports emerged detailing Meghan's decision to donate her earnings from a voiceover project for Disney's Elephant documentary to Elephants Without Borders, a US-based conservation organization supporting elephant protection efforts in Botswana.
Royal author Angela Levin drew attention to comments she received on social media, highlighting a video clip featuring Harry and Meghan engaging with celebrities like Jay-Z, Rihanna, and the Disney CEO during the London premiere of The Lion King in July 2019.
During the event, Harry mentioned Meghan's interest in voiceover work to Disney CEO Bob Iger, sparking discussions about potential future collaborations.
However, rumors surfaced suggesting that Meghan received $3 million for her involvement in the Elephant documentary instead of directing the funds to charity as initially stated.
A senior Disney executive dismissed claims of a significant deal with Meghan, emphasizing her controversial reputation and hinting at severed ties between the Sussexes and the company following the voiceover project.
The fallout from the alleged mismanagement of funds has raised doubts about any future partnerships between Meghan, Harry, and Disney, along with its affiliates.
Despite initial excitement surrounding Meghan's venture into voiceover work, the controversy surrounding the financial aspects of the collaboration has cast a shadow over the couple's prospects in the entertainment industry.
As they navigate the complexities of their post-royal lives, Meghan and Harry face ongoing scrutiny and challenges in establishing themselves outside the confines of the monarchy.
