The pair have unfortunately been named as some of the ‘biggest losers’ in a brutally honest rundown of who had the best and worst year in entertainment.
The couple made the decision to leave the royal family in 2020. They have since been living the Hollywood lifestyle with their children in California. This is Meghan Markle‘s home state and where she grew up. However, it looks like she and Prince Harry aren’t living the American dream in one publication’s eyes.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry named “biggest losers” by publication
The Hollywood Reporter recently released their annual winners and losers list, and as you’d expect, Taylor Swift was up there with the list of winners.
Although it’s been claimed the Duchess of Sussex is ‘watching Taylor Swift,’ it looks like it may not be working quite like she’s hoped, as she and Harry end up in the opposite category.
The publication, of course, provides reasoning for their decision, which was largely down to their ‘mockery’ on an episode of South Park.
“In 2020, the royal duo fled a life of ceremonial public service to cash in their celebrity status in the States,” the publication writes of Meghan Markle and Harry in their losers list.
“But after a whiny Netflix documentary, a whiny biography (Spare — even the title is a pouty gripe) and an inert podcast, the Harry and Meghan brand swelled into a sanctimonious bubble just begging to be popped — and South Park was the pin.”
The episode, titled The Worldwide Privacy Tour, didn’t name the pair directly, but heavily parodied Harry’s bombshell memoir Spare, and their Netflix docuseries.
They then comment on the cancellation of Meghan’s Spotify Podcast, Archetypes. However, it’s not all bad, as the publication jokes it’s no worse than their old life.
It concluded: “Still, all the scorn and mockery beats otherwise having to attend 200-plus official royal family engagements a year, which sounds hellish.”
Archewell Foundation sees major drop in donations
The bad news doesn’t stop there for the Sussexes, unfortunately. It was reported earlier this week the Archewell Foundation has suffered a significant £8.7 million ($10.8 million) drop in revenue in the space of a year.
The latest accounts reportedly show they received just under £1.6m ($ 2 million) in donations from two donors in 2022. This is compared to 2021, where they received just over £10.3m ($12.9 million) from multiple donors.
It means a drop of £8.7 million for the charity in 12 months.
Archewell was founded in 2020 by the couple, and it’s core purpose “is, quite simply, to do good,” as per the website.
Their three main pillars of focus are to “build a better world online, to restore trust in information, and above all, to uplift communities.”
