Megan in Tears as Santa Barbara Film Festival Cancels Her for Virtuoso’s Award, VIP Guests Unbothered

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry might be considering a retreat to a private island amidst a wave of negative news surrounding them.

The usually attention-seeking couple has recently faced setbacks, such as being excluded from the society wedding of Harry's best friend, who also happens to be the godfather of their son Archie.

Adding to their woes, Meghan did not receive a formal invitation to a recent Hollywood gala, yet she made an appearance nonetheless, strutting down the red carpet with some hesitation.

Now, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex find themselves banned from an event in Santa Barbara, where they currently reside.

According to a source, the couple has been blacklisted from the prestigious Santa Barbara Film Festival for various reasons.

The festival recently announced its recipients for the Virtuoso's award, an annual recognition of outstanding performances and films.

Notable names such as Danielle Brooks, Colman Domingo, America Ferreira, and Andrew Scott have been added to the list.

They will attend a ceremony on February 10th, 2024, where they will discuss their work with host Dave Karger from Turner Classic Movies.

The source revealed that the Santa Barbara Film Festival only includes A-list stars and prominent figures in the area.

Meghan attempted to secure a spot on the red carpet through her agency, WME.

However, due to the festival's larger scale compared to smaller charity events, it is challenging for someone of Meghan's stature to attend.

Additionally, their documentary did not make the nomination list, and there are concerns that Meghan's presence may attract unwanted paparazzi attention, disrupting the atmosphere of the festival.

In Meghan's deluded perception, she believes that everyone desires her company and craves even the slightest bit of her attention.

However, the affluent locals of Montecito, who are likely wealthier than her, are relieved that they will be spared from her presence.

Some residents have even commented that Meghan is nothing more than a social-climbing actress who has Harry wrapped around her finger.

One can only wonder if Harry ever wakes up from this nightmare.

The 39th annual Santa Barbara Film Festival, scheduled from February 7th to 17th, has been gradually unveiling its list of honorees.

Bradley Cooper has been selected to receive the Outstanding Performer of the Year award, while Ryan Gosling will be honored with the Kirk Douglas Award for Excellence in Film.

More honorees are expected to be announced soon.

In 2023, the festival celebrated awards contenders, including eventual Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis, alongside Angela Bassett, Cate Blanchett, and other notable names from the industry.

As Meghan and Harry continue to face exclusion and negative press, it remains to be seen how they will navigate these challenging times.

For now, their hopes of attending the Santa Barbara Film Festival have been dashed, leaving them to seek solace elsewhere.
