Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were convinced that their move to Hollywood would bring them overnight success.
However, their journey to financial independence has proven to be much more challenging than they anticipated.
In 2020, the couple made the decision to leave the royal family behind and head to Hollywood, believing that their talents would finally be recognized and money would come pouring in.
But four years later, the reality looks quite different.
It is unclear whether Meghan and Harry truly desired financial independence or if they simply wanted to cash in on their royal connections.
Meghan once expressed her belief that she should be paid for attending events, leading her to convince Harry that they could make more money outside of the royal family.
And so, the plan for “Megxit” was born.
While some may argue that Meghan and Harry have experienced success in the US, particularly with their Netflix docu-series “Harry and Meghan” and Harry’s memoir “Spare,” a closer look reveals a different story.
Although the Netflix series broke records and Harry’s book became the fastest-selling non-fiction book in history, there are signs that things are not as rosy as they seem for the couple in Montecito.
One major setback for Meghan and Harry was when Spotify decided to end their partnership after Meghan’s podcast series, “Archetypes,” failed to resonate with audiences.
The podcast, which focused on stereotypes rather than archetypes, quickly lost its appeal, leaving Spotify uninterested in continuing their collaboration.
This incident highlighted the couple’s lack of success in Hollywood.
According to royal editor Sarah Hewson, finding financial independence has proven to be much harder for Meghan and Harry than they initially expected.
Despite signing a contract with talent agency WME, Meghan has yet to produce any significant work.
Rumors suggest that WME may have given Meghan an ultimatum to reconcile with the royal family or risk losing their support.
However, the bigger obstacle may be Meghan’s reputation in Hollywood.
Meghan has gained a reputation for being a demanding diva and difficult to work with, even before her marriage to Harry.
Reports from the set of “Suits” revealed her diva behavior, making it challenging for her to find work in Hollywood now.
Her negative reputation precedes her, making it unlikely for anyone to want to collaborate with her.
Without significant talent to offset her reputation, Meghan’s path to financial independence will continue to be an uphill battle.
It is clear that Meghan and Harry’s dreams of instant success in America have not materialized.
In fact, their delusions of grandeur were unfounded from the start.
Even with their limited successes, the road to financial independence remains challenging.
Vanessa Felt, a talk TV presenter, believes that the couple has encountered difficulties in finding their footing.
Meghan’s partnership with WME has yet to yield any substantial results, suggesting that their journey is far from over.
As we delve into the comments section of a previous video discussing the royal family’s feelings towards Harry, it becomes evident that many believe tough love is necessary for him.
Viewers agree that tough love could have been implemented earlier in Harry’s life to prevent his current self-destructive path.
Suggestions include requiring him to get a divorce, get clean, and engage in charitable work to prove himself worthy of rejoining the royal family.
In conclusion, Meghan and Harry’s Hollywood dreams have not panned out as they had hoped.
The path to financial independence has proven to be much more challenging than anticipated.
Their limited successes are overshadowed by Meghan’s reputation and the lack of interest from potential collaborators.
As they continue to navigate the complexities of their new lives, it remains uncertain whether they will ever achieve the financial independence they desire.
