Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the royal fold in 2020, but after struggling to establish themselves in Hollywood, royal commentators wonder if the couple can survive without the monarchy’s help.

In 2023, the Sus𝓈ℯ𝓍es were branded as “grifters” and a “flop,” and recently, the pair were criticized for relaunching their Archewell platform, where they used their Sus𝓈ℯ𝓍 titles and royal crest despite complaining about the Windsors.

Meghan Markle struggled with being a working duchess.

“Harry has made his position quite clear – he wants to be back in the thick of it with royal engagements to boot. The desperation at trying to force his way back into the firm is laid bare for all to see,” Nathan Kay wrote in an article. “A rebranded Sus𝓈ℯ𝓍.com website, the use of titles and increasing associations with worthy causes all paint a very familiar picture.”

Meghan and Harry gave up their HRH status when they stepped down as senior-level royals, but they continue to use their proximity to The Crown while living in the U.S.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are pursuing careers in Hollywood.

In 2021, Meghan and Harry sat down with Oprah Winfrey to discuss their move to California, and the pair alluded to the Duchess of Sus𝓈ℯ𝓍 and Prince Archie being treated poorly due to the royals’ racial biases. The infamous tell-all interview brought negative attention to the Windsors and left many Brits disappointed by the confession.

“I believe it’s too late for a Sus𝓈ℯ𝓍 rehabilitation as long as Harry remains married to Meghan,” Kay continued. “Our forgiveness could easily have been extended to our prince – after all, we’ve witnessed his journey from birth and have grown up with him.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle hoped to create their own roles within the monarchy.

OK! previously reported royal expert Ingrid Seward believes Queen Elizabeth would be saddened by the Sus𝓈ℯ𝓍es professional decisions.

“The late Queen was fond of Harry and Meghan. She saw their potential as a couple working for the Commonwealth – her Commonwealth. It was her father’s legacy,” Seward told an outlet. “Then it became hers.”

“The Queen saw Meghan’s mixed-race heritage, her youth and style combined with intelligence, as a major plus for the monarchy,” Seward explained. “Imagine her distress when everything she had hoped for from Harry and Meghan failed to materialize.”

“In 2020 instead of being supportive of the monarchy they wanted to leave,” she added. “That is when the steely will of the Queen came into play.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry left the royal fold in 2020.

Before Meghan and Harry fled England, they released a statement claiming they would “carve out a progressive new role within this institution,” but their plans were shut down by Elizabeth.

“With the support of her aged husband, she made it clear it was not possible to do what they wanted — be half in and half out of the monarchy. She told them they could not trade on their royal connections for financial gain,” the commentator stated. ”She subsequently forbade them from using the website name sus𝓈ℯ𝓍royal.com and their HRHs.”

“She would have been hurt and angry at the latest developments,” she continued.
