Royal Couple Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Snubbed by Hollywood Elite

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made headlines when they relocated to Los Angeles in March 2020, seeking to embrace the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.

However, recent events suggest that their aspirations may have hit a snag as they were notably absent from the prestigious 29th Annual Critics' Choice Awards held at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California last Sunday.

The star-studded event saw luminaries like Margaret Robbie and Emily Blunt gracing the red carpet in stunning red ensembles, with Robbie exuding Barbie-like allure in a custom off-the-shoulder ball gown adorned with rosettes, while Blunt dazzled in a sequined one-shoulder creation by Giorgio Armani Privé.

The night belonged to Oppenheimer, which clinched an impressive 8 awards, including Best Picture, Best Director for Christopher Nolan, and Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr.

Barbie also emerged victorious, securing 6 wins, including accolades for Best Comedy and Best Song for “I'm Just Ken.”

Notable winners included Emma Stone for Best Actress in “Poor Things” and Paul Giamatti for Best Actor in “The Holdovers.”

The ceremony, hosted by Chelsea Handler, drew a constellation of stars such as Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, and Elizabeth Debicki, among others.

While the glittering event unfolded, Meghan Markle found herself on the outskirts, excluded from the festivities.

The snub was further compounded by the participation of her close friend and former co-star Abigail Spencer, who played a prominent role at the awards show.

Additionally, several other actors from “Suits,” Meghan's former TV series, were featured as presenters at the Golden Globes, further underscoring her absence from the industry spotlight.

Speculations abound that the royal couple is facing a chilly reception in Tinseltown, with renowned author Lisa M Davies suggesting that Hollywood's elite now view them in a less favorable light.

Davies, known for her satirical take on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, remarked on the couple's swift fall from grace, highlighting how they have been shunned by influential figures ranging from celebrities to politicians.

Drawing parallels to the Greek myth of Icarus, Davies painted a grim picture of the couple's current predicament, likening them to “burnt toast” in the eyes of the entertainment industry.

Journalist Kinsey Schofield echoed these sentiments, noting that Harry and Meghan's public disputes with the royal family have had unintended consequences, alienating potential allies in Hollywood.

Schofield expressed her belief that the couple had hoped for greater support and acceptance within the entertainment sphere, envisioning a path to becoming revered figures in Hollywood circles.

However, their actions and public image have raised doubts among industry insiders, hindering their quest for acceptance and recognition as Hollywood royalty.

As the saga of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Hollywood ambitions unfolds, it remains to be seen whether they can overcome the challenges and rebuild their standing in the fiercely competitive world of show business.

The road ahead appears fraught with obstacles, casting a shadow over their once-promising foray into the realm of celebrity and stardom.
