The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, have been facing criticism from all sides in Hollywood.
It seems that their desire to be part of the inner circle of the Hollywood elite has not been fulfilled, and they have become the subject of jokes in the US.
This constant scrutiny must surely be denting their egos.
In recent times, the couple has experienced a series of setbacks.
First, they were slammed on SNL (Saturday Night Live), followed by criticism from Jimmy Kimmel and Chris Rock in his Netflix comedy special.
This is particularly ironic considering their supposed alliance with Netflix due to their Netflix docuseries.
However, even Chris Rock took a dig at them, much to the amusement of viewers.
Adding insult to injury, Harry and Meghan were notably absent from the Oscars and Oprah’s birthday party.
Oprah, who conducted the explosive interview that revealed multiple bombshells about the royal family, did not extend an invitation to them.
Additionally, they were not included in Elton John’s annual Oscar charity party, despite his close friendship with Princess Diana and previous closeness to Harry.
This may be a consequence of the recent jet plane drama, which will be discussed in a future episode.
The most significant blow came in the form of a South Park episode mocking their worldwide privacy tour.
This episode garnered widespread attention and added to the growing list of public ridicule they have faced.
All of these incidents have occurred within a relatively short period, serving as a reality check for the couple.
While the British media quickly saw through their attempts to portray themselves as victims, the question now arises: is the American media also starting to see them for who they truly are?
Despite sharing their story on Netflix and Harry revealing more in his tell-all book, they have failed to win over the public.
The truth is, nobody sympathizes with their plea for privacy when they are capable of making a Netflix documentary about their lives.
Similarly, their humanitarian work loses its impact when they flaunt expensive designer clothing and travel on private jets.
The couple’s lack of relatability to the general public and ingratitude towards the Hollywood elite has created a divide.
They have had numerous opportunities to regain favor, such as acknowledging the humor in the South Park episode.
If they could learn to laugh at themselves instead of constantly playing the victim, they might find some redemption.
Comments from viewers reflect the growing skepticism towards Harry and Meghan.
Many believe that Hollywood and even the royal family are distancing themselves from them, fearing that their conversations may end up in another tell-all book or interview.
The incident where they were allegedly wired for their Netflix TV series, leading to their removal from a government building, has further eroded trust.
There are also reports of top designers refusing to dress Meghan due to her alleged unlikable nature and poor fashion choices.
It seems that the couple’s actions have brought this backlash upon themselves, and they should have expected it.
The golden rule of not dishing out what you can’t take applies to everyone, including them.
Harry, who was once protected and coddled, is now fair game for criticism.
His continuous blunders provide ample material for jokes and amusement.
As the teasing and jokes continue, it is likely to get worse for him, and perhaps he should consider the advice to think before speaking.
Inadvertently, the couple has positioned themselves as the subjects of ridicule.
While this may not have been their intention, they have become the b*tt of all jokes.
Their attempts to gain acceptance among the Hollywood elite have backfired, leaving them isolated and facing public scrutiny.
As they navigate this challenging period, it remains to be seen whether Harry and Meghan can salvage their reputation and regain favor with the public.
However, it is clear that their current approach is not winning over the hearts of their audience.
