Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Archewell organisation released a video to “distract” people from their professional “failures”, according to a royal expert.
Showbiz and royal expert Kinsey Schofield slammed the video detailing charity work as an attempt to “distract” people from Meghan and Harry’s “worst year” ever.
She said: “This has probably been, professionally, the Sussexes’ worst year – I don’t know if you’re aware of this but the Hollywood reporter, which is basically the bible here in Los Angeles, named the Sussexes one of the biggest losers in Hollywood in 2023 for their professional failures.”
Last week, The Hollywood Reporter branded Meghan and Harry some of Hollywood’s “biggest losers” savaging the couple in an article naming the biggest winners and losers in showbiz.
The influential outlet called the Sussexes’ Netflix biography and Harry’s Spare “whiny” while claiming the couple’s brand is a “sanctimonious bubble just begging to be popped”. It said a South Park episode that savaged Meghan and Harry was “the pin”.
It also highlighted the collapse of their Spotify deal which saw the couple branded “grifters” by a top executive at the company.

Speaking on Talk TV, Ms Schofield added: “So the Sussexes are trying to distract from a lot of professional failures. I think they are also trying to distract from the positivity we are seeing around the Royal Family and the Wales family – Christmas time is their time to shine and I think there is a little animosity there.”
Controversy erupted after Meghan and Harry’s company Archewell released its 2022-23 Impact Report alongside a video highlighting key events from the year.
That video was released just hours after Princess Kate released a video showing her children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, eight, Prince Louis, five, volunteering at a baby bank.
The one-minute video shows Meghan hugging people, surprise calling a young entrepreneur alongside Harry and volunteering at a pop-up baby boutique she staged for expectant mothers experiencing homelessness.
The 25-page Impact Report that accompanied the video read in part: “We are committed to a simple but profound mission – to show up and do good.
“Our work, especially this year, has been rooted in fostering community and remaining responsive to those in need amidst the evolving challenges we encounter in today’s world.”
