Sussex American Dream on the Rocks: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's 'Perfect Bubble' Set to Burst as 'Grifters' 'Aren't Built' for Hollywood
It’s all about to come crashing down on Team Sussex as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s "perfect bubble" in Tinseltown is about to burst.
This led royal historian Hugo Vickers to tell The Sun, "I think there have always been a certain number of cracks developing."
The expert also highlighted how Harry and Meghan are struggling to stay ahead in the "high energy, competitive world" of Hollywood.
"Obviously, they had quite a good time at the beginning," he added. "But the trouble is, it is this high energy, competitive world in which they now exist which is very, very hard to deal with. And I'm sure she's had a certain amount of experience of this. I'm not sure how much experience Prince Harry had of it."
This led a commenter on X to share how the pair "aren’t built for Hollywood mentally. They do not have what it takes to face near-constant rejection and ridicule just to finally get a break, they then have to defend and maintain relentlessly. That’s what Hollywood is."
Additionally, Vickers chimed in on the "Duchess Difficult" controversy surrounding the former Suits star. The author stated that the new nickname "fits" the royal rebel, thanks in part to how she treated Crown staff during her 22-month stint as a working royal.
"The Queen didn't like people being rude to staff," he continued.
"I'm sure that it's one of those situations where, probably, when things are going well they're very generous... and they remember their birthdays, and they send them little gifts and all that sort of stuff, but the moment things get stressful, that’s when you see the true side."
He further observed, "I'm afraid I rather veer on the side of thinking that she's difficult, and it's not a good sign if you can't be good with your staff, you know you're in trouble."
The Duchess came under fire after sources told The Hollywood Reporter in a September 12 story that she had left some of her staff "reduced to tears" thanks to her work-related "rampages" as a former Kensington Palace staffer once called the meltdowns.
"Everyone’s terrified of Meghan," a source close to the pair told the Tinseltown publication. "She belittles people, she doesn’t take advice."
For many, this comes as no surprise, since in the run-up to his 2018 nuptials, Harry did tell veteran royal fashion designer and the late Queen's longtime dresser, Angela Kelly, that what "Meghan wants, Meghan gets."
Harry and Meghan experienced a rapid turnover of staff, with several key aides leaving shortly after their wedding due to reportedly difficult working conditions.
With British royalty out, and Hollywood "never going to happen," many are left wondering where the beleaguered royals will turn next.
