Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly launched a quiet probe to understand why they are being shunned by Hollywood’s elite. Despite being two of the most recognizable faces in the world, the couple is feeling increasingly isolated in Tinseltown — and they're now turning to their powerful friends, including Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres, for help.
Reports by Radar Online reveal that the Sussexes were especially disappointed after their Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan was snubbed by the Emmys, despite being the most-watched premiere on the platform in 2022 with over 81.6 million viewing hours in just four days. The lack of recognition, despite commercial success, has left them disillusioned and eager to understand who in the industry may be undermining their efforts.
Adding to the couple’s frustration, Meghan’s new podcast Confessions of a Female Founder faced harsh criticism upon release. This comes just weeks after backlash against her Netflix show titled With Love, Meghan.
Insiders suggest Meghan is even considering keeping track of those who’ve criticized or failed to support them in what’s being dubbed a “burn book” — a move to identify detractors quietly influencing their Hollywood standing.
Radar Online further reported that the pair insist they don’t want to appear like sore losers, they believe there may be a coordinated effort to sabotage their media reputation. To make sense of it all, they are now leaning on allies like Oprah and Ellen to help uncover the source of the negativity and rebuild their image in the entertainment world.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s own struggles
Amid their ongoing quest to regain favor in Hollywood, Meghan and Harry also appear divided on how much of their personal lives should be shared, especially when it comes to their children. According to royal editor Matt Wilkinson, Prince Harry is reportedly uncomfortable with Meghan using their kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, as part of her brand imagery for As Ever. While Meghan is said to embrace a more open, Californian lifestyle—encouraging outdoor visibility while still protecting their privacy—Harry remains wary of exposing their children to the public eye. The Duke allegedly believes photographers are constantly lurking outside Montecito, though Wilkinson noted that isn't the case. This growing difference in their public approach only adds to the mounting pressure the couple faces as they attempt to navigate life post-royalty.
