King Charles was incensed by Meghan and Harry's audacious request to change their titles to the Duke and Duchess of Hollywood.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had shockingly approached King Charles seeking his approval for this alteration. They believed that rebranding themselves could lead to immense financial gain, with reports suggesting that Netflix was considering a lucrative deal for a 27-part documentary series about their name change. This decision, regardless of any significant developments, was anticipated to be unveiled during a conversation with Oprah Winfrey.
In their quest to integrate into American celebrity circles, Meghan and Harry encountered bewilderment regarding their titles. They often faced inquiries about Sussex's location and its relevance, leaving many American luminaries perplexed. According to insider sources, consultants from their agency indicated that assuming the titles of Duke and Duchess of Hollywood could potentially yield tens of millions of dollars. The prospect of substantial wealth without much effort was alluring to the couple, who even speculated about rubbing shoulders with Hollywood's elite like Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks.
Buckingham Palace expressed reservations about the potential fallout from this decision, foreseeing potential upheaval for the Sussexes. King Charles firmly rejected any overtures from Meghan and Harry, prompting jests within the palace about Prince Andrew's aspirations to become the Duke of Sussex due to his affinity for a certain pizza chain in the area. Faced with the prospect of rejection, Prince Harry jokingly threatened to pen a sequel to his memoir, adding further unnecessary details about his past experiences.
The couple's aspirations to be embraced by Hollywood's elite were met with skepticism by royal experts like Richard Fitz Williams. He cautioned against leveraging their royal connections for profit, emphasizing the risk of tarnishing their image. Fitz Williams criticized the timing of their Hollywood ambitions, particularly in light of King Charles's recent cancer diagnosis and the monarchy's fragile state. He urged Meghan and Harry to steer clear of exploiting their royal ties and focus on building a more authentic public image.
Despite the mounting scrutiny from the media and public, Meghan and Harry remained resolute in their pursuit of Hollywood stardom. However, Fitz Williams warned that their diminishing popularity could impede their efforts to capitalize on their royal status. He suggested that they reconsider their approach to branding and public relations to avoid further alienating themselves from the public and damaging the monarchy's reputation.
