After exiting the royal family, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle gave an interview to Oprah Winfrey that provided just enough for Markle and the Prince to become lifetime celebrities in the eyes of the public. Looking at the massive numbers that the interview racked, other broadcasting stations and the couple themselves saw an opportunity. Taking advantage of the tide being in their favor, or seizing an opportunity to tell the world their story, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle released a documentary.

The Harry & Meghan documentary, despite the naysayers, did exceptionally well. But Prince Harry’s memoir came as a big blow to not only supporters of the royal family but also to the couple. The memoir, albeit becoming a bestseller on the first day, became the subject of mass hatred.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle face cancel culture

The same supporters who ranted on Twitter about the racism and bigotry that supposedly runs in the royal family of Britain also wrote in detail why Prince Harry airing out his dirty laundry in public was not something they stand by. Neither media nor netizens, and even airline companies, have cut Prince Harry any slack when it came to his memoir. “There are people that remain hugely sympathetic to him, but there’s been a lot of criticism, so the broader public is talking about him in a way that I think he perhaps didn’t anticipate,” a royal expert said as reported by Hindustan Times.

Meghan Markle fans are desperately ranting about Spare and the British media. They haven’t realised it’s already over and Prince Harry is an international joke. He has called his own wife and fanbase liars.
The next year is going to be hilarious to watch.

Meghan Markle once again could not save herself from the wrath. The former actress made a choice to support Prince Harry from behind the scenes when it came to memoir. And this did not sit well with fans who blamed her for using Prince Harry.

Ever since the couple appeared on Oprah, they have, for the most part, enjoyed sympathy. Blame the timing or Prince Harry’s unabashed revelations, the release of the memoir has not enjoyed the same sympathy or love. Spare has not spared the couple from negative backlash.

The observation proves true as Prince Harry’s popularity ratings in his home country have stooped lower than that of Queen Consort Camilla.
