Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have started seeing how the “loud mouth” that helped them open doors in the US has now turned on them, a royal commentator noted. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have suffered a considerable popularity drop in the United States following the release of Harry’s explosive memoir, Spare, earlier in the month. Former Express.co.uk royal reporter Kara Kennedy noted the omission of the couple from Oprah Winfrey’s birthday party could signal Harry and Meghan are now falling from Hollywood’s graces.
Kennedy said: “A-list megastars gathered to celebrate the TV icon’s birthday that was organized by Anastasia Beverly Hills, in unison with the brand’s twenty-fifth anniversary.
“Kim Kardashian was in attendance, posting some pictures on her Instagram Story with the caption, “Happy Birthday @oprah. Sharon Stone said it best last night toasting you that you mean the world to the world! Happy birthday!”
“Don’t worry Megs, we’re sure it wasn’t that fun.”
Writing in The Spectator, she added: “To channel Oprah herself, is the exclusion an act of racism? Unconscious bias? Is Meghan at home crying on the kitchen floor after patiently waiting by the mailbox all weekend?

To Di For podcast host Kinsey Schofield pointed out that the Duke and Duchess could alienate their so-called friends by continuing to share details of their conversations or backtracking on previous claims.

“While having Tyler Perry and Oprah in your corner is a huge help, I think most individuals don’t want to pick a side and would prefer to avoid the drama.”
She continued: “I think ‘Spare’ and the Netflix documentary will ultimately hurt Harry and Meghan’s relationships with the Hollywood elite.
“Did intensely private Beyoncé give Meg permission to read a text message that she sent the Duchess verbatim to millions of Netflix subscribers? I highly doubt it.”
