‘Uninvited’ rumours abound about Harry and Meghan, claims Kara Kennedy amid reports of ongoing tensions with William and King Charles III
The Spectator's royal correspondent claims that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are in the process of being "frozen out" of Hollywood, "one red carpet event at a time".
But Kara Kennedy's comments come in the wake of the Sussexes signing a collection of multi-million pound deals with Netflix, Spotify and other media companies.
Writing in The Spectator, the journalist accused Harry and Meghan of lacking the "charisma, dedication and charm" that she believes is required to be an A-list celebrity.

She added that one LA source told her "the main reason for them being excluded is that organizers know that all media attention would be on them and take away from the event or people there to celebrate”.
Ms Kennedy added that the source said one A-lister left Harry and Meghan off the invite list for an event because of their "capacity to share".
Since stepping down from senior royal duties, the Sussexes have been criticised for sharing private details of Royal Family relations.
In an explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, Meghan accused an unnamed member of the Firm of asking what colour her son Archie's skin would be before he was born, sparking a rise in tensions between the Duchess and her inlaws.
Moreover, Prince Harry is set to release a memoir before the end of the year which he said will contain a "firsthand account of my life that’s accurate and wholly truthful.”
It is predicted that the contents of the memoir will further strain tensions within the Royal Family.
Ms Kennedy added that another reason the Sussexes have been sidelined is that they don't have the "charisma and dedication" needed to be A-list celebrities.
She said: "You and your partner can buy a mansion in the right zip code, hang out with the right people and say the right things at the right charity events, but that doesn’t make you a Hollywood power couple.
"Modern-day stardom is about more than name recognition.
"It takes charisma, dedication and charm. For all their striving, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just don’t have it.
"Britain has realized this — and Hollywood is starting to realize it too."
