Sussex’s Netflix Series Snubbed at the Emmys: A Blow to Meghan Markle’s Hollywood Dreams
In a surprising turn of events, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Netflix series failed to secure any nominations at the Emmy Awards.
This news comes as a significant disappointment for the couple, especially considering their hopes of rubbing shoulders with A-list celebrities and gaining recognition in the entertainment industry.
It appears that Hollywood has no interest in including them in more prestigious events.
The Sussexes have a reputation for exaggerating their invitations to high-profile events such as the Met Gala and the Oscars.
Simply having high ratings does not guarantee award success, and it is well known that Meghan has purchased awards for herself in the past.
It wouldn't be surprising if she blamed Harry and the team behind the reality show for the lack of nomination, as it was promised to them.
According to sources, this snub at the Emmys may have cost the couple £300 million in exclusive deals.
This setback comes just weeks after they lost their $20 million Spotify contract, further impacting their financial prospects.
Mark Boardman, a showbiz writer and media commentator, previously predicted that an Emmy win could open doors to exclusive deals worth hundreds of millions.
However, this opportunity seems to have vanished now.
Liz Garbus, the director of the Sussexes' docuseries, was expected to receive an Emmy nomination, according to Mark Boardman.
He believed that a win would have elevated the couple's status and potentially led to future exclusive deals worth up to £300 million.
However, this optimistic prediction has been shattered by the reality of the Emmys snub.
As a result, Netflix has also distanced itself from the couple.
While an Emmy nomination or win would have been beneficial for Netflix, it seems that the Heart of Invictus series, which focuses on veterans, will now be put on hold.
Negative reactions surrounding Meghan's alleged misappropriation of funds intended for veterans have influenced the decision.
The Netflix strategist believes that if the series were to be released, its chances of success would be as low as 10%.
Meghan's involvement has tainted the project.
Interestingly, the debut of high-profile Netflix productions usually follows a two-month lead time from the official announcement to the air date.
However, there has been no official announcement or teaser for the Heart of Invictus series, despite the Invictus Games being just two months away.
This suggests that Netflix may not be confident in the production or that there is little anticipation for it.
It remains uncertain whether the series will be released in September as initially planned.
Despite the setbacks, there are those who argue that Netflix should release the series as originally intended.
By doing so, the public would witness how a documentary meant to highlight disabled veterans was overshadowed by a former Z-list actress who dominates every scene while flaunting expensive, ill-fitting designer clothes.
This revelation may help even the most devoted fans understand why Hollywood is hesitant to associate with the couple.
In conclusion, the Sussexes' Netflix series failing to secure any Emmy nominations is undoubtedly a blow to Meghan Markle's aspirations in Hollywood.
The loss of potential exclusive deals and the negative backlash surrounding the Heart of Invictus series have further complicated their situation.
Whether Netflix decides to release the series or not, it is clear that the couple's dreams of achieving A-list status and industry recognition have suffered a significant setback.
