Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Brand Faces ‘Death Sentence,’ Royal Author Claims
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s brand may be facing its ultimate demise, according to royal author Maureen Callohan. In her recent piece for The Daily Mail, Callohan claims that the couple’s popularity in America has reached a tipping point, signaling the end of their public appeal.
As Callohan explains, “America has moved into a new phase of this relationship.” She argues that public interest in the couple has dwindled to the point of indifference, which she believes is detrimental to their brand. “We no longer even rubberneck with these two. We have become utterly uninterested. And that’s the death knell for Brand Sussex,” Callohan asserts.
While she acknowledges the public’s past fascination with the couple, particularly their Netflix series and memoir, she reflects on how the entertainment value has worn off. “Was it fun to hate-watch their first Netflix series, Meghan mocking her curtsy to the Queen, Harry looking on mortified, both of them bitching endlessly?
Of course!” she wrote. Similarly, Callohan recalls the guilty pleasure of dissecting Prince Harry’s memoir Spare, which included revelations such as his frozen ‘todger’ and his use of his late mother’s face cream. “Was dissecting Spare, with its humiliating revelations about Harry’s frozen ‘todger’ and his mother’s face cream as the ultimate salve, a guilty pleasure? You bet,” she exclaimed.
However, Callohan emphasizes that the opposite of love is not hate, but rather indifference, suggesting that America’s fascination with the couple has faded. “Just as the opposite of love isn’t hate, but indifference, America has grown bored,” she concluded.
Callohan’s commentary suggests that the couple’s star power may be fading, as public interest shifts from fascination to apathy, potentially signaling the end of their once-promising brand.
