Royal experts suggest the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are finding it difficult to sustain their public influence in the United States. This assessment comes nearly five years after the couple stepped back from royal duties and moved to California.
Analysts point to recent setbacks as signs of fading momentum. These include public criticism of their major Netflix deal and their quiet departure from the charitable foundation they founded.
The couple’s initial star power, fueled by their royal status, secured them lucrative media contracts. Experts now question whether their current projects can maintain the same level of public attention long-term.
Harry and Meghan have not publicly addressed these specific critiques. Their supporters often highlight their ongoing charitable work and media production efforts.
