In a surprising turn of events, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has expressed her frustration and disappointment over not receiving an Emmy nomination.
According to reports from Heat News, Markle is determined to investigate why she and her husband, Prince Harry, were overlooked for the prestigious television award.
The couple had reportedly prepared for a celebration, with champagne ready to be popped, only to be left disheartened by the lack of recognition.
Determined to get to the bottom of the matter, Markle plans to scrutinize the nomination process and understand why they were excluded.
“The fact that they didn’t get an Emmy nod is a huge kick in the teeth,” a source close to the couple revealed.
“This is the Oscars of TV after all, and they’re stinging at the rejection big time.”
Markle and Prince Harry firmly believe that there has been a targeted campaign against them, both in the United States and the United Kingdom.
They suspect certain individuals are using their association with the British royal family to gain favor by attacking them.
In response, the couple intends to identify and remove these individuals from their circle.
While the series in question did receive a nomination for a Critics Award, it failed to soften the blow of being snubbed by the Emmys.
Markle, known for her role in the TV show “Suits,” is now rumored to be compiling a list of those who have not shown support, reminiscent of the movie “Mean Girls.”
However, the couple is cautious not to be labeled as sore losers and will rely on their influential allies in Hollywood to support their cause.
But what will happen when Markle discovers who among the A-listers is not on their side?
Will she resort to threats and intimidation?
Some insiders claim that Markle even plans to sue the Emmy Awards.
Her representative stated that it is evident something malicious has been going on, as their documentary masterpiece failed to receive a nomination.
They believe the documentary should have been granted a win without any competition.
Frank Shermer, chairman and CEO of the Television Academy, responded to the rumors, stating that the reason for the snub was the documentary’s inclusion of lies, alterations to the Queen’s historic speech, and an attempted takedown of a beloved monarch.
He emphasized that the documentary did not meet the standards required for an Emmy nomination.
Additionally, the viewership numbers were not impressive enough to warrant recognition.
Earlier this month, the Emmy organizers announced that Meghan and Harry’s Netflix series had not received any nominations.
Despite being watched for a total of 81.6 million hours by subscribers, the show failed to make an impact in the eyes of the Emmy judges.
The series, part of the couple’s lucrative $100 million deal with Netflix, covers their journey from their early days as a couple to their controversial decision to step back as working members of the royal family.
The Emmy snub has raised questions about the couple’s standing in the industry and what lies ahead for their future.
This news follows the end of their $20 million Spotify contract, which means Markle’s Archetypes podcast will not be renewed.
However, they can still rely on their ongoing partnership with Netflix to continue their foray into the world of entertainment.
As Markle continues her quest for answers and justice, it remains to be seen how this saga will unfold and whether it will have any lasting impact on her career and reputation.
