Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have lost favorability in the United States — and one royal expert believes she knows why.
“I give a lot of talks to Americans and they all dislike Harry and Meghan,” Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine and author of the royal biography “My Mother & I,” recently told The Standard.
“They hate that they let the Queen down,” Seward added.
Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, abandoned their royal lives in the UK and moved to the US in 2020.
They subsequently turned against Harry’s relatives — including Queen Elizabeth II, who died at age 96 in Sept. 2022 — by blasting the royals in their bombshell 2021 interview with Oprah, as well as in their “Harry & Meghan” Netflix docuseries and Harry’s tell-all memoir, “Spare.”
The Duke of Sussex has since renounced his British residency and claimed America as his home in paperwork, as he remains estranged from the rest of his family.
He and Meghan live in a plush $14 million mansion in Montecito, California, with their son, Archie, 5, and daughter, Lilibet, 3.
Another royal expert, “To Di For Daily” podcast host Kinsey Schofield, told The Standard that Donald Trump’s son, Eric, had “the right idea” when he previously said that “Americans don’t care about Harry.”
“We lost interest in Harry and Meghan after realizing we had given them way too much credit over the years,” added Schofield.
Meanwhile, Hollywood publicist Jane Owen claimed that the Sussexes “are definitely not doing well in LA’s social scene.”
“Quite frankly, they were given every opportunity to shine in Hollywood,” said Owen. “They had a huge deal at a top streaming network with a massive budget and an audience eager to listen and watch. They have done worse than nothing — they have actively destroyed the opportunities they were given. I’ve always said Hollywood could be compared to high school in terms of how people behave, and to use that analogy they’ve become the most unpopular kids in school.”
Last year, Harry and Meghan lost their $20 million deal with Spotify after their company, Archewell Audio, produced a mere 12 podcasts during a two-and-a-half year span.
“Archetypes,” which Meghan hosted and co-produced with Harry, focused on exploring the labels that hold women back.
“Harry and Meghan’s clout has taken a hit over the past year,” Stacy Jones, founder of LA marketing agency Hollywood Branded, told The Standard. “Hollywood operates on trust — trust that a project will deliver, that a partnership will be beneficial and that public perception will remain positive.”
Jones continued, “Losing the Spotify deal in 2023 lingered into 2024, and without a major win this year, they’ve struggled to regain their footing. However, access isn’t the issue for Harry and Meghan — it’s enthusiasm. They’re not going to struggle to get a table at a top restaurant and their presence will always generate buzz at events, but Hollywood’s excitement about them has cooled compared to their early days.”
The Post has reached out to Harry and Meghan’s reps for comment.
Insiders previously claimed that the Sussexes have lost touch with some of their closest Hollywood pals.
Over the years, Meghan and Harry have developed bonds with stars like Priyanka Chopra, Serena Williams, Elton John, Ellen DeGeneres, David and Victoria Beckham, Winfrey, Tyler Perry and George and Amal Clooney.
In June, Princess Diana’s former butler, Paul Burrell, claimed that several Hollywood stars have “turned down recent invites” from the couple.
Burrell told The Post more recently that celebrities “would rather be associated” with Prince William and Kate Middleton, rather than the Sussexes.
