Prince Harry and Meghan Markle hit with major blow by Hollywood
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have encountered yet another setback in the United States as Hollywood reportedly distances itself from the couple. According to recent reports, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are not being taken “seriously” by the entertainment industry, leading to speculation about their standing in Hollywood.
Their notable absence from last week’s star-studded WME Emmy bash in Beverly Hills has only fueled these rumors. According to The Mail, the absence of Meghan and Harry has reinforced claims of a “genuine dislike and distrust” towards the couple within the entertainment business. However, it remains unclear whether the pair were not invited or simply declined to attend.
WME (William Morris Endeavor), one of Hollywood’s most prominent talent agencies, signed Meghan as a client last year in April. At the time, the agency announced plans to help Meghan expand her business ventures across various industries, including film and television production, brand partnerships, and more. Despite this deal, insiders suggest that Hollywood is growing increasingly disinterested in the couple’s endeavors.
One senior industry figure commented on the situation, stating that Harry and Meghan “seem to be reaping the kind of ‘schadenfreude with extra venom’ at which the entertainment business excels.”
“It was only a matter of time before the industry press started taking shots,” the source added. “It’s hard to find anyone with a good word to say for their film and television credibility.”
According to some insiders, the entertainment world may never have taken the couple seriously from the start. Despite their efforts to establish a foothold in Hollywood through partnerships and media ventures, the Duke and Duchess appear to be struggling to gain favor in a competitive industry.
While their future in Hollywood remains uncertain, this latest setback suggests that Meghan and Harry’s attempts to break into the industry may be facing stronger headwinds than anticipated. As they continue to navigate their post-royal careers, questions about their credibility in Hollywood are likely to persist.
