Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s attempt to conquer Hollywood has hit a roadblock as their support dwindles following the release of a Netflix documentary and Harry’s memoir.
Despite leaving their royal titles behind in 2020, the couple’s actions have caused doubts about their association with the entertainment industry.
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield expressed her belief that Meghan and Harry had a golden opportunity to establish themselves as Hollywood royalty, but their behavior has made them easy targets for ridicule.
According to an insider, the Sussexes are concerned about being mocked by comedians at the upcoming 96th Academy Awards.
With the event’s host, Jimmy Kimmel, known for his late-night talk show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” there is a possibility that he might take a jab at Harry and Meghan.
Although the exact number of comedians presenting at the ceremony is unknown, the couple’s actions have made them vulnerable to becoming the b*tt of jokes.
Jimmy Kimmel, who previously hosted the Oscars in 2017, 2018, and 2023, has been announced as the host for the 96th Academy Awards in 2024.
Entertainment Tonight reported that Kimmel shared his excitement about the news, stating that it had always been his dream to host the Oscars four times.
The ceremony is set to air on March 10th, 2024, on ABC.
It is worth noting that Kimmel has a history of mocking Prince Harry.
Earlier this year, he humorously ridiculed Harry’s revelation in his memoir about using his mother’s Elizabeth Arden lip cream to treat frostbite on his p-nis.
Kimmel even created a fake book titled “The Prince and the p-nis,” featuring cartoon drawings of Harry and his frostbitten member, where Princess Diana assists him with the lip cream.
The talk show host’s rendition garnered laughter from the audience.
Despite their fame, Harry and Meghan have never received an invitation to the Oscars.
Even poet Elton John, a close friend of Princess Diana, has not invited them to his annual AIDS Foundation Oscars after-party.
Tom Bauer, a critic, believes that their absence from prestigious events like the Academy Awards in 2023 questions their influence in Hollywood.
Elton John, who previously supported the couple during times of intense scrutiny, has now joined the growing list of celebrities snubbing Harry and Meghan since their move to California.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s hopes of becoming Hollywood royalty have been met with disappointment as their actions and associations continue to draw criticism.
Despite their initial potential, it seems that the couple’s journey in Tinseltown has taken an unexpected turn.
As they navigate their new lives away from the royal family, they will need to carefully consider their choices and actions if they wish to regain the support they once had.
