Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s “laughable” attempts at trashing the Royal Family have been blasted by a royal expert who claimed the couple have nothing else to contribute and are now being ridiculed even in Hollywood. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were recently savagely mocked during the Golden Globes after host Jo Koy took aim at them, as well as the “rich, white and dysfunctional” Royal Family, during his opening monologue.
Koy said: “Succession has nine nominations. Just a great series about a rich, white, dysfunctional family, all scheming – oh, wait, that’s The Crown. I’m sorry.”
He then decided to have a dig specifically at Harry and Meghan’s Netflix deal, saying: “Harry and Meghan Markle got paid millions for doing absolutely nothing. And that’s just by Netflix.”
Now royal biographer Tom Bower suggested Harry and Meghan are facing a “financial crisis” because they chose to live like royals without the income to support it.
He told TalkTV: “What is remarkable is how they end up ridiculed in Hollywood, how they’re ignored in New York, how, in fact, they have to regrovel for attention and that of course is why they now face these financial problems, if not a crisis.
“They’ve set themselves up to live like royals, but their income is pretty limited.”
The expert also branded Meghan a “very high maintenance” woman and urged the couple to “downsize” and think of their actions again.
He said: “Meghan is a very high-maintenance woman, she likes to live a high lifestyle, a high standard and the money isn’t coming in. We saw from their charity, they couldn’t raise money at all last year.”
Bower added: “So I really think they’re facing a financial crisis, it was absolutely predictable and where they go from there, they would probably have to downsize and think again.”
Harry and Meghan were in the centre of many jokes in 2023 with a South Park skit slamming the couple’s quest for privacy while Family Guy also took on the duke and duchess.
