Royal author Phil Dampier criticized Harry and Meghan for spending Christmas in California instead of with the royal family at Sandringham, considering it a missed opportunity for image rehabilitation.
Dampier emphasized the need for the couple to take meaningful actions rather than just talking about redemption.
During Christmas, the royal family presented a united front, with even Prince Andrew's ex-wife, Fergie, participating.
Dampier argued that Harry and Meghan's refusal to be team players has isolated them, allowing Prince William and Princess Kate to shine. He highlighted the sussexes' realization that they can't compete with the ancient institution of the royal family, admired globally.
In 2024, Harry and Meghan were named the most disliked celebrities in a Ranker poll, with Meghan topping the chart and Harry in the second spot.
Oprah Winfrey and Amber Heard followed. The survey, with nearly 27,000 participants, generated various reactions from the public, with some expressing satisfaction and others jokingly commenting on Meghan's supposed "award."
Royal expert Angela Levin speculated on Meghan's future with talent agency WME, suggesting that controversies might lead to her being dropped.
Despite Meghan topping the survey, some users expressed shock, while others encouraged continued participation to maintain her position at the top spot.
