Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Continued Focus on the Royal Family May Decrease Their Popularity, Warns Vanity Fair Correspondent

The lucrativeness of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may dwindle as they persist in discussing the royal family, according to Vanity Fair royal correspondent Katie Nicholl.

She cautioned that audiences will eventually urge the couple to shift their attention elsewhere.

Despite the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's popularity in the United States, recent comments on the First Amendment, coupled with an intense focus on mental health issues, might turn off fans.

Ms. Nicholl accused the couple of exhausting the topics of the royal family and mental health, expressing concern that many individuals will simply choose to ignore them.

During a conversation on the Royal Beat podcast, Ms. Nicholl and her guests delved into Prince Harry's recent interview on the Armchair Expert podcast hosted by Dax Shepard.

The prince revealed his strained relationship with Prince Charles, claiming that his father passed on his own trauma to him and his siblings.

He attributed this to the upbringing provided by Prince Philip and the Queen.

Prince Harry also opened up about his mental health struggles, confessing that he contemplated leaving the royal family at the young age of 20.

He likened life as a royal to living in a zoo, shedding light on his personal experiences.

Ms. Nicholl, along with other royal reporters, discussed these revelations and questioned the public's appetite for further discussions on the subject.

She pondered how much more could be extracted from these topics, even in America where the couple's every word is closely followed.

Ms. Nicholl speculated that people might declare they have heard enough and demand a change in the couple's narrative.

During the program, Evening Standard royal editor Rob Jobson criticized Prince Harry's continuous attacks on the royal family, labeling them as pathetic.

While acknowledging the significance of mental health, Mr. Jobson expressed disappointment in Prince Harry's refusal to reflect on his own role in his problems, instead choosing to blame others, particularly his father.

He criticized the prince for targeting not only his father but also his grandmother and, most shamefully, his recently deceased grandfather.

Mr. Jobson then delved into Prince Harry's recent ventures, such as his deals with Spotify and Netflix, his employment as a chief impact officer, and his involvement in various documentary projects.

He questioned whether it was necessary for Prince Harry to continuously complain about his family and the perceived hardships they have inflicted upon him.

Mr. Jobson viewed the entire situation as a money-making endeavor, questioning why someone who was financially cut off at the age of 36 suddenly has multiple TV shows and other projects that generate millions of dollars.
