Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s recent activities have raised concerns about their declining public profile, with some commentators suggesting their prominence is declining. Journalist Charlotte Griffiths shared her perspective during an interview with the daily express, describing the couple’s current trajectory as being on “life support.”
Griffiths began his comments by referring to Meghan’s appearance at a hair product launch, which he found surprising. “That really surprised me because I thought, this is a woman who, at least in her opinion and for quite some time, was a major global celebrity, and here she was at a hair product launch.” she commented.
She speculated that Meghan’s attendance might have been out of loyalty to a friend who was organizing the event, but noted the strangeness of the situation. “The event was organized by one of her friends, so maybe she was just being nice to her friend.” Griffiths. “But I still thought, why aren’t they together, especially at the Invictus event? I know she really supports Invictus and to be honest it’s a little beneath her, sorry to be rude.”
The journalist pointed to the couple’s separate public appearances as indicative of their wavering influence. “It just shows how far his star has fallen,” he observed. “He’s getting tattoos on TV and she’s doing a presentation about hair care products. I mean, it’s not a good sign.” Griffiths’ comments reflect a broader conversation about the Sussexes’ evolving public roles and how they are perceived in the media.
Once celebrated as a high-profile royal couple navigating global causes and advocacy, Harry and Meghan now face increasing scrutiny over their relevance and professional projects. As the couple continues to navigate life outside of royal duties, questions remain about how they will reestablish their standing in the public eye and whether they can regain the level of influence they once had.
