Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been warned about declining public interest in their companies and the risks of misusing their opportunities. A top Hollywood executive, speaking anonymously with The daily beastcriticized the couple’s latest endeavors, including Prince Harry’s upcoming polo docuseries.
The docuseries, which will debut on December 10, promises a behind-the-scenes look at the world of polo, highlighting the relationships and culture within the sport. However, the executive expressed doubts about its potential to resonate with the public. “This seems to have failed to capture the imagination,” they said.
The couple still have Meghan’s rumored cooking show scheduled for next year, but the source warned of financial missteps. “Today there is very little tolerance for wasting money.” the executive commented, adding: “It’s debatable whether anyone cares about these two if they’re not telling scandalous stories about royalty.”
The executive also suggested that the couple could explore the possibility of monetizing their fame through social media if their creative projects fail to gain traction. “A lot of people would still give Harry a million dollars for a job,” they said.
A former friend of the Sussexes also weighed in, pointing out a missed opportunity in Harry’s polo series. “The irony is that polo today is a surprisingly inclusive sport.” they saidhighlighting that many talented riders from less privileged backgrounds now participate through sponsorships. “It doesn’t feel like this show is going to bring that to the forefront, which is a real missed opportunity.”
The criticism comes as the couple’s recent projects face mixed reviews, with some questioning their ability to maintain public interest without sensational royal revelations. The anonymous Hollywood insider warned: “They’re running out of last opportunities to prove that’s not the case.”
With increasing scrutiny on their companies and evolving public interest, Meghan and Harry’s ability to connect with audiences through meaningful and engaging content may determine their staying power in the entertainment industry.
