Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly dealing with fading “prospects” in California, according to a royal expert.
Speaking on Tonight with Andrew Marr on LBC, royal commentator Tina Brown claimed that people are losing interest in the couple, and that they need to make their next move.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex relocated to the United States after stepping down as senior members from the royal family.
Furthermore, Prince Harry and Meghan have been at the centre of headlines with the release of their Netflix documentary, Harry & Meghan, as well as the release of Harry’s memoir, Spare.
Popularity for Meghan and Harry falling in California
Despite their star power, royal commentator Tina Brown has insisted that the pair are facing “celebrity slippage” in California. She said: “What they’re experiencing in California is just the inevitable celebrity slippage. You’re hot until you’re not you know, which is the whole California way.
“It’s all about product. Okay, what’s your next act? What’s your next hit? You have to keep with the product, and what is his next product? Because he’s done pretty much everything that people are interested in. They’re not at all interested in documentaries about life and hope and all the stuff that is, frankly, pretty touchy feely, it doesn’t interest people.”
She then added: “It certainly doesn’t interest Netflix. So, they have got this question. I mean, he might pull something out. They haven’t been unsavvy about that. I mean Meghan’s podcast was a success… so they have they have a chance but they’re not in amongst the alphas in celebrity Hollywood.”
