2023 was supposed to be a triumphant arrival of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in Hollywood. Stepping back from royal duties, they promised a whirlwind of creative projects, impactful ventures, and a re-invention of their public image. While the year started with a bang owing to their Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, the following months, painted a more nuanced picture.

As the year draws to a close, one royal expert has summarized the couple’s year of endeavors with a fact.

2023 an outright failure for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 

Royal commentator Daniela Elser recently shared his insight about the ventures of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The expert noted The Hollywood Reporter’s description, which summed up their year in a single word. She said the couple’s star has not merely faded but fully turned off this year. “And with that one word, it confirmed one fact: This has been the Sussexes’ very own annus horribilis,” informed Express.

The experienced journalist stated that the famous outlet has already dubbed them as some of 2023’s biggest ‘losers’. For the unversed, The Hollywood Reporter pointed out in their report throughout the year the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have struggled to remain afloat after settling down in the US. 

2023 has certainly been an eventful year for the royal couple, but they are not backing down after all the criticism and failure.

Looking forward to new beginnings

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have encountered a bumpy year, but one expert believes their fortunes could dramatically change in 2024. Mark Boardman told the Daily Express US that the pair will not wait for something to come along. Instead, they will take the narrative of their story into their own hands and work towards building a successful future.

Multiple multimillion-dollar book deals are in place, with ownership of publication rights for a novel. Apart from this, the Suits alum has joined hands with the William Morris Endeavor talent agency. As they step into 2024, the question remains: can they overcome these hurdles and translate their potential into sustained success, or will their Hollywood dreams remain just that – a captivating glimpse of what could have been?
