Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Named Among Biggest Tinseltown Losers of the Year

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have recently been designated as two of the Biggest Tinseltown Losers of the Year by The Hollywood Reporter, a renowned industry publication.

In its annual review for 2023, the magazine highlighted individuals who achieved great success as well as those who failed to make an impact.

Among the 11 individuals chosen, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were singled out for their underwhelming Netflix documentary, a biography that garnered criticism, a podcast that catered to a niche audience, and even their choice of titles, such as “Party Gripe.”

The Hollywood Reporter's assessment of the couple was far from flattering.

The publication suggested that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had abandoned their life of ceremonial public service to capitalize on their celebrity status in the United States, but unfortunately failed to create a significant impact.

Adding to their woes, their charitable foundation, Archwell, experienced a significant decline in donations, resulting in financial difficulties.

Meanwhile, James Holt, their right-hand man, received a substantial pay increase of 280%.

According to insider sources, a crisis meeting with WME, a prominent talent agency, is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles today.

As a result, the release of Meghan and Harry's Christmas card has been put on hold.

Speculation suggests that Meghan Markle, now responsible for her own public relations, had to consult with representatives before releasing the card.

However, WME leaders and staff were inclined to cancel its release.

It remains unclear whether the crisis meeting is related to recent issues arising from the publication of Scobie's book.

There are indications that WME discovered the couple's cooperation with the book while being told otherwise.

This lack of transparency has caused discontent and disparagement.

The fact that Meghan and Harry still believe it is appropriate to release a Christmas card has raised eyebrows.

In Hollywood, such actions are considered pretentious and in poor taste, especially considering Meghan's recent book release, which criticized the monarchy.

WME, unable to secure work for Meghan Markle due to her controversial reputation, will likely advise her to reconsider her public relations strategy.

Despite having an in-house PR team, Meghan may need to seek external assistance to improve her industry image.

Rumors suggest that she had to pay a retainer fee for representation, as she was not seen as a profitable client at the time of signing.

The details of the contract remain undisclosed, but it is likely that Meghan made a substantial upfront payment.

Additionally, it is unclear whether WME will receive a percentage of any future work secured through their representation.

At some point, WME may decide to sever ties with Meghan Markle if these crisis events continue.

It is unusual for a client to have such frequent and self-inflicted dramas.

The agency must recognize that the likelihood of securing a multi-million dollar deal with Meghan is diminishing rapidly.
