The year 2023 has been tough for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. To the scandals linked to the lawsuit brought by Prince Harry against the British press, and to his Memoirs, was added the bitter failure of the Sussexes’ collaboration with the podcast giant Spotify. For an article published in Closerand relayed in The Sun Tuesday January 9, royal expert Tom Bower brushed a professional assessment that is, to say the least, worrying for the exiled couple.
“They have no new sources of income, no new businesses. Everything they’ve tried to do to revive themselves, I think in the end it was totally unsuccessful and failed“, he announced in the columns of the tabloid. Without mincing his words, the man who is at the origin of the work Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war at the Windsors (published in March 2023 by Hachette) finally concluded: “There’s nothing credible about them there, but they look good.” In his opinion, Archie and Lilibet’s parents simply “stranded in Hollywood”.
Opinions differ
Also, Tom Bower explains to the magazine why, according to him, the former star of Suits has been so discreet in recent weeks. The daughter-in-law of King Charles III is said to be “desperately” looking for a new role. However, everything seemed to be smiling on the Duchess, according to her statements made in November 2023 on the red carpet of the Power of Women, an event organized in Hollywood by Variety magazine. The one who accuses several members of the royal family of racism had launched: “We have so many exciting things to come. I can’t wait until we can announce them. We’re really proud of what we create, and my husband loves it too.”
For his part, royal expert Phil Dampier has a completely different opinion on the matter. According to his statements in The Sun, Meghan Markle and the troublemaker of the Crown would refuse many offers of collaboration. Even more, their popularity would explode. The Beverly Hills talent agency would also be “shocked at how popular she is”, and would have “never seen such a thing” before. Thus, the suspense remains intact.
