It seems that Harry and Meghan are not receiving any invitations, from the Queen’s pre-funeral event to Hollywood gatherings.
The couple is reportedly being frozen out of the entertainment industry.
It is becoming increasingly evident that the Sussexes are not welcome at Hollywood events, including prestigious occasions like the Oscars and the Met Gala.
According to an article in The Spectator by Kara Kennedy, one source in LA revealed that an A-lister intentionally left Harry and Meghan off the guest list for an event due to concerns about their tendency to share information.
Kennedy also noted that another reason for their exclusion is their perceived lack of charisma and dedication required to be A-list celebrities.
In her words, “For all their striving, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just don’t have it.”
This realization is not only dawning on the British public but also on the Hollywood scene.
The latest event from which the Sussexes were noticeably absent was the Ralph Lauren fashion show held at the Huntington Museum in San Marino, just a two-hour drive from their residence in Montecito.
While several stars attended the show, such as Jennifer Lopez and Diane Keaton, Harry and Meghan were nowhere to be seen.
It is clear that not everyone receives an invitation to everything.
Tina Brown, a prominent royal commentator, even goes as far as labeling the couple as D-listers and poor by Hollywood standards.
In terms of wealth, Meghan and Harry’s estimated net worth is around $22 million, which pales in comparison to powerhouses like Jay-Z and Beyonce, who boast a net worth of over $1.4 billion.
Even Tyler Perry, who generously hosted the royal couple when they first arrived in the United States, has an estimated net worth of $818 million.
Ellen DeGeneres, another notable figure, is valued at almost $500 million.
When placed side by side with these figures, it is evident that the Sussexes fall into the category of being relatively “Hollywood poor.”
Neil Sean, a royal commentator, speculates on Meghan and Harry’s future income potential and how they plan to supplement their earnings.
He believes that their initial popularity made it easy for them to strike lucrative deals.
However, Sean emphasizes that their ability to promote products will determine their future financial success.
He states, “When they first left the British monarchy, they were the darlings of everyone… Everyone wanted a slice of that Meghan and Harry pie.
But the bigger problem is, when you become a star, everything is merited on box office… Can you get people spending with you?
Can you attract an audience?
Can you sell books, t-shirts, memorabilia?
Whatever it is, you’ve got it.
It’s all about that.”
Sean also highlights the fickleness of the industry, where an organization can easily renege on an offer, causing money to disappear in an instant.
He cites the example of Netflix abandoning Meghan’s cartoon series, Pearl.
According to Sean’s sources, the Sussexes have expressed their openness to different offers.
This willingness may lead them down the path of infomercials.
Sean poses the question of how long it will be before we see Harry and Meghan endorsing products on television networks.
While other non-working royals have appeared in infomercials, Sean suggests that such appearances could become embarrassing in the future.
Ultimately, the decision to participate in infomercials will depend on how crucial it is for the couple to secure financial stability.
As Sean puts it, “When you need money, you need money.”
In conclusion, Harry and Meghan find themselves on the outskirts of Hollywood’s elite events, with their absence becoming increasingly noticeable.
Despite their considerable net worth, they are still considered relatively poor in comparison to other prominent figures in the industry.
As they navigate their post-royal life, their ability to secure lucrative deals and maintain public interest will determine their financial success.
