American magazine:
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
"biggest losers" of 2023
An American magazine classified Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle as
"the biggest losers" in 2023, after a turbulent year for the former royal family.
The annual evaluation of
The Hollywood Reporter highlighted the pair as two of the 2023
"biggest losers" following the cancellation of Meghan Markle's podcast Archetypes
by Spotify
which was released after a lucrative three
year deal with the streaming giant in late 2020.
As part of the deal
worth an estimated £18 million
the duo planned to host and produce several podcasts, but Archetypes
was not renewed for a second series and their deal was terminated
by Spotify's head of podcast innovation, Bill Simmons
who called the duo fraudsters.
The magazine says this year's touring point was the satirical episode of
the popular cartoon series "South Park" called The Worldwide Privacy Tour
which first aired on 13 February 2023, which provided
a parody of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's decision to
"step back from their role as members of the royal family.
Harry's best-selling memoir Spare, in which he boasted of
killing dozens of Taliban fighters while serving in Afghanistan
was criticized and detailed his fractured relationship with his family.
The Hollywood
Reporter said the pair failed to
"take advantage of their well-known place in the United States
" after moving to Los Angeles.
On Tuesday
12 December, the couple's charity Archewell
named after their four-year-old son Archie, founded in 2020
also reported that donations had fallen by nearly £10 million in one year.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex released their charity's annual report
and a promotional film showcasing their good work this year
but the loss was enormous.
The US income tax return revealed that contributions fell in 2022 to
just over £1.6 million, a staggering £8.7 million lower than
the £10.3 million donated in 2021.
