Has Hollywood fallen out of love with the Sussexes?

HARRY AND MEGHAN BACKLASH

- Peter Sheridan

THE DUKE and Duchess of Sussex have been warned that their Hollywood honeymoon period may be coming to an end.

Last week they were dealt a blow by UK TV regulator Ofcom’s ruling that Piers Morgan’s criticism of Meghan on Good Morning Britain did not overstep the mark and deserve sanction.

Now the couple face trouble on the other side of the Atlantic where their star power could be waning.

“Harry & Meghan Hated in Hollywood!” proclaimed US magazine Globe last week.

It’s an outrageously sensational report, yet struck a chord with some in Tinseltown.

Eyebrows were raised when Harry and Meghan were not at former president Barack Obama’s star-studded 60th birthday party last month, across the country in Martha’s Vineyard, despite Meghan having given birth to the couple’s second child, Lilibet Diana, only nine weeks earlier.

And resentment is reportedly mounting against the duo who were handed a £112million Netflix production deal, a £20million Spotify podcast contract, and a lucrative publishing deal when they moved to the US.

“That’s left a bad taste in the mouths of stars who’ve worked their whole lives to get to the top,” says an entertainment industry insider.

“They’re dangerously close to being yesterday’s news in Hollywood,” says a veteran producer. “They haven’t made anything yet, and so they have no credibility beyond Netflix’s deal announcement.”

They added: “Not all celebrity can be monetised.”
