According to former BBC Royal Correspondent Michael Cole, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have faced a decline in public favor in the U.S., with Americans growing weary of their perceived negativity. Cole stated, "Over the past year, they have achieved little more than alienating themselves from the US public and the powerful media companies that employ them – as well as driving an even bigger wedge between themselves and the Royal Family."
These remarks followed The Hollywood Reporter labeling Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as among the biggest losers of 2023. The media outlet criticized Harry's memoir "Spare" and the couple's Netflix biography as "whiny" in a recent article. The report highlighted a perceived sanctimonious tone in the couple's brand, describing it as a "bubble just begging to be popped," with the satirical show South Park being identified as the pin.
The difficulties faced by the Montecito couple in 2023 were underscored by controversies, including Omid Scobie's claims of "racist royals" in his book "Endgame."
As the couple navigates the challenges of public perception and media scrutiny, the advice to brace for financial setbacks in 2024 reflects the complex dynamics surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's post-royal endeavors.
