Megan Markle spent the final months of 2023 enthusiastically discussing her ambitious plans for the future.
However, as she earned the dubious title of Hollywood's biggest loser, her entry into 2024 marks her most significant humiliation yet. The recent Golden Globes, hosted by Joe Koy, featured jokes targeting Megan and Prince Harry, ranging from financial setbacks to jabs at Megan's title. The real sting comes from the timing, coinciding with the four-year anniversary of the couple's exit from the royal family, a departure they initially framed as a launch into superstar status.
Despite their bold claims, Megan and Harry's post-royal journey did not unfold as envisioned. In the past year, Megan faced setbacks such as losing her podcast and acquiring a reputation as a Hollywood loser and grifter. Reportedly, she declined the opportunity to stand on the Golden Globe stage with her former "Suits" cast members, adding another missed opportunity to her growing list.
Reflecting on their 2020 royal exit, predictions of the Sussexes thriving as Hollywood superstars did not materialize. Forecasts of Megan becoming a film star and Harry leading successful nonprofit organizations proved inaccurate. Instead, the couple went from receiving positive media attention to becoming subjects of social media mockery.
Even satirical sites like The Onion have joined in, poking fun at Harry and Megan's perceived downfall. The article humorously suggested the couple's new venture involves running a self-storage facility, complete with a fictitious quote from Prince Harry outlining their plans.
Royal expert Mark Bourman has cautioned Harry and Megan about the anticipated failures in 2024. The reported fallout with the Beckhams and humorous jabs at the Golden Globes contribute to a negative public image, adding layers to the challenges they face. Bourman emphasizes the need for the couple to make crucial decisions and navigate complex dynamics, suggesting that their choices in 2024 could shape the trajectory of their personal and professional lives.
