Meghan Markle Excluded from 2024 Golden Globes as Ray Romano Makes the List

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has reportedly not received an invitation to the 2024 Golden Globe Awards.

The star-studded lineup of presenters for the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards includes renowned names such as Amanda Seyfried, America Ferreira, Andra Day, Angela Bassett, Annette Bening, Ben Affleck, Daniel Kaluuya, Don Cheadle, Dua Lipa, Elizabeth Banks, Florence Pugh, Gabriel Fluffy Iglesias, George Lopez, Gabriel Macht, Hailey Stainford, Hunter Schaefer, Issa Rae, Jared Leto, Jodie Foster, John Batiste, Jonathan Bailey, Julia Garner, Justin Hartley, Kate Beckinsale, Kerry Russell, Kevin Costner, Mark Hamill, Matt Damon, Michelle Yeoh, Naomi Watts, Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, Patrick J Adams, Ray Romano, Rose McIver, Shamik Moore, Simu Leo, Utkarsh Ambutkar, and Will Farrell.

Interestingly, Ray Romano's inclusion on the list has sparked speculation about Meghan's reaction, with some imagining her throwing dishes around in Montecito.

Ray Romano, a highly talented actor known for his roles in “Everybody Loves Raymond,” “Parenthood,” and more, is widely adored by audiences.

With a career spanning several decades, Romano has become a fixture in the entertainment industry.

When not working on new projects like the 2019 film “The Irishman,” he prioritizes spending time with his family.

During the lockdown, Romano and his twin sons, Greg and Matt, even made a virtual appearance on James Corden's “The Late Late Show.”

Earlier this year, Romano starred in a dramatic film called “Somewhere in the Queens,” which revolves around the theme of family.

Family holds immense importance for Romano, making it unlikely for him to sympathize with Meghan, who has been known to criticize the royal family and her own father.

Despite not receiving an invitation to the Golden Globes, there is speculation that Meghan might attempt to crash the event.

It seems she may be determined to overshadow Catherine, the Princess of Wales, on her birthday.

Meghan has openly discussed her aspirations and dreams for the future in various interviews.

Her acting career began after college, and she appeared in several television projects, including the popular game show “Deal or No Deal.”

In 2011, she landed a recurring role as paralegal Rachel Zane in the legal drama series “Suits.”

Meghan starred in seven seasons of the show before retiring from acting to embrace life as a working royal upon her engagement to Prince Harry in 2017.

While “Suits” concluded in 2019, it gained renewed interest when it was added to Netflix's streaming library in 2023, along with streams on Peacock's platform, breaking consecutive Nielsen records.

After stepping back from royal duties alongside Prince Harry in 2020, Meghan returned to the United States and revived her career in the entertainment industry.

She launched Archival Productions and Archival Audio, signed partnerships with Netflix and Spotify, and personally became a client of the William Morris Endeavour talent agency in 2023.

However, Meghan's journey back to Hollywood has encountered obstacles.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams revealed that the duchess faced setbacks, including losing her partnership with Spotify and being labeled a grifter by an executive.

Additionally, The Hollywood Reporter named her one of the biggest losers of 2023.

While it remains to be seen if these claims hold true, Fitzwilliams expressed skepticism about Meghan's prospects, stating, “Things don't look promising.”

He emphasized that Meghan needs to make notable appearances at upcoming awards and create something remarkable.

Despite the challenges, Meghan maintains an optimistic outlook for the future.
