Lee Conner, a former advisor to the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, has strongly criticized Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, labeling 2023 as the Sussexes’ “Annie’s horribilis.”
According to Conner, the United States has grown weary of the royal couple following a series of failures in their post-royal endeavors.
Since stepping back from their royal duties and relocating to the U.S. in 2020, Harry and Meghan have faced relentless scrutiny over their public activities.
During an interview with CBN America, Conner drew parallels between the Sussexes’ struggles and Queen Elizabeth’s tumultuous year in 1992.
He highlighted the string of setbacks and disappointments experienced by Harry and Meghan, emphasizing that their attempts to damage the monarchy and royal family have not resonated with the American audience.
Conner predicted a continued decline in the Sussexes’ popularity in the U.S. throughout 2024.
Despite embarking on various projects since their move to America, Harry and Meghan have encountered several setbacks.
However, during a recent appearance at Variety magazine’s Power of Women event, Meghan hinted at an upcoming major announcement with her husband.
She expressed enthusiasm for the projects they are working on and emphasized Harry’s involvement and support.
Meghan also reflected on her past acting career, particularly her role in the popular legal drama “Suits,” which has gained renewed attention on Netflix.
However, questions have arisen about her ability to reenter the entertainment industry after a video resurfaced showing her in a Tostitos chip advertisement from over a decade ago.
In the commercial, Meghan’s performance was deemed lackluster and unimpressive, leading to criticism from viewers.
In the advertisement, Meghan portrays a shopper contemplating between two corn chip brands, showcasing her inner monologue as she selects Tostitos over a store-brand alternative.
Despite her previous acting experience, Meghan’s delivery in the commercial was met with disappointment, prompting the crew to make adjustments to her voiceover.
The simplicity of the ad’s plot contrasted with Meghan’s perceived lack of engagement, leaving viewers underwhelmed by her performance.
As Meghan navigates her post-royal career and explores new opportunities, her past acting ventures continue to resurface, inviting scrutiny and critique.
The challenges faced by the Sussexes in maintaining relevance and success outside the royal sphere underscore the complexities of transitioning to a different public role.
Amidst ongoing speculation and analysis, the future trajectory of Harry and Meghan’s endeavors remains uncertain, with each new project subject to heightened scrutiny and evaluation.
