Following their branding as some of Hollywood's most notable underachievers, the prospects of Megan Markle and Prince Harry have come under scrutiny by a royal expert.
The couple has received a cautionary warning regarding their future projects. Last year, they were labeled as some of Hollywood's biggest losers by Tinsel Town's show business authority. The Hollywood Reporter's annual report on winners and losers highlighted Megan and Harry on the unfavorable side.
Criticisms were directed towards their Netflix biography, seen as Prince Harry's misguided endeavor, and their brand was depicted as a sanctimonious bubble on the verge of bursting. Additionally, a South Park episode took aim at the couple, further tarnishing their image. More recently, they faced ridicule from comedian Joe Koy at the Golden Globes.
Royal expert Richard Fitz Williams has denounced the couple's Hollywood endeavors as failures, citing their disappointing financial returns from ventures such as Spotify and Megan's WME agency, which has yet to produce anything noteworthy.
In November of last year, Meghan and Harry teased major projects in the pipeline, but as of now, nothing has materialized for public consumption. An insider disclosed that Meghan filed for unemployment benefits in California amid their crisis, although leaked documents containing the Duchess's name raise doubts about her eligibility.
Despite her application, it's improbable that she qualifies for benefits, given her lack of traditional employment since her return to California. The source indicated that Megan might have submitted the application, but local authorities likely rejected it due to her complex financial arrangements, including multiple shell companies.
Megan's employment status since her return to California has been self-employed, which exempts her from contributing to state and federal unemployment insurance. However, Megan seems convinced of her relentless work ethic, engaging in activities such as photo shoots, planning, and networking. Nonetheless, some American media outlets remain unimpressed by the couple's titles, highlighting Harry's lack of formal education and Megan's age as factors diminishing their marketability in Hollywood. The narrative of victimhood surrounding their royal stories has also worn thin among critics.
