Hollywood Danger Harry and Meghan struggle to find true friends

Mondo International Updated on 2024-01-30

Nearly four years ago, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shocked the world by announcing their resignation from senior royal positions and moving to California in pursuit of financial independence and privacy. Now, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle still seem to be struggling to find their footing in their new lives across the ocean.

While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle undoubtedly believe that embracing Hollywood will help boost their image and career, there are now multiple reports that they are facing financial hardship and that it is difficult to tell who their true friends are among Hollywood's A-listers and influencers.

According to sources, the celebrity couple is becoming more and more cautious in Hollywood circles as people begin to wonder who is truly trustworthy.

A person familiar with the matter revealed that the couple's "money has run out, and the pandemic has disrupted many of their income plans for 2020." ”

After their lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify fell through – and they barely produced any content for the two streaming platforms, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle certainly felt the pressure.

Their mansion in Montecito, while luxurious, is not cheap to maintain. Faced with expensive security costs and staff salaries, money may not flow as freely as they would like for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

The declining prestige of the couple did not help either. The craze that once generated huge global interest in the glamorous couple has waned significantly, as headlines about their various feuds with royal relatives have obscured their charm. They openly blamed Prince Harry's family in high-profile interviews, which left them with little supporter on both sides of the Atlantic. Accusing the royal establishment of racism and neglect while enjoying such privileges may seem rude to some.

Meanwhile, in California, where image and status are crucial, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's allure among their wealthy celebrity neighbors appears to be fading. Although at one time there were many celebrities who courted them and socialized with them, now many people are skeptical of the couple.

Are they true friends or are they fame-hungry social climbers who just use their connections to boost their brand?No one wants to get too close to a possible trap or risk being exploited to gain public attention.

The pressure is especially high for Meghan to prove to Hollywood that she is a serious filmmaker and not just a pretty face with a royal title.

Sources say she's "desperately" fighting for any film role she can get in order to relaunch her career. She is said to have set her sights on the highly anticipated historical drama Horizon, directed by Kevin Costner, which is expected to be a major event.

But will the producers see her as a box office attraction with real acting skills, or just a famous name looking for easy pay?She has not won critical acclaim for her few minor roles so far.

In addition, there are doubts about whether Meghan is an ardent activist as she claims to be. Many remember her conveniently ditching her beloved rescue dog when she moved to the UK, or leaving her first husband unconcerned when a new opportunity presented itself.

Is she just another opportunist who says what people want to hear in order to advance herself?In cutthroat Hollywood circles that value authenticity, this perception is not flattering.

While going to a big party with George and Ammar Clooney or associating with Oprah can undoubtedly boost their visibility, sources say Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have become more cautious about getting too close to celebrities, unsure who really wants to be their friend, and not just to get close to their brand or take advantage of their connections.

One source claimed that they could not fully be themselves, except in private. This indicates that they are uncomfortable in most social situations. They had to tread more carefully and could not tell if laughter and smiles were hiding ulterior motives. After Britain became accustomed to automatic obedience, they navigated unnaturally in the complex manipulation and mental games of Los Angeles.

For their mental health, the ongoing rumors about tensions in their marriage or Meghan's bullying of her assistant could be even worse. While some sensational stories can sell magazines, the ongoing denigration and lack of clear facts can have an impact on a person's spirit. Publicly, they appear to be united, but privately, the pressure is sure to weigh them down.

Some experts say the couple has chosen the wrong path, abandoning their family and country and choosing to reinvent themselves in a world of ruthless celebrities fraught with risks for them, for which they are unprepared. Perhaps a wiser decision would be to stay with loved ones, continue to serve the royal family in some way, focus on building sustainable charitable projects, and avoid accusations against the royal establishment, which would allow for good relations rather than eliciting sympathy as they would like.

However, the mood for a desire for privacy is understandable, despite the challenges that sunny California presents are different from what is expected.

So, in their sprawling mansion isolated in the rolling mountains, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seem to be able to truly rely on each other only in uncertain times. With the breakdown of fairy tales and the arrival of reality, they must rely on their bond more than ever. Hopefully, they will stick together to withstand the onslaught of a new life, learn from this challenging time, and ultimately emerge happier and stronger.

With a commitment to the cause and to each other, their potential remains bright if the clouds can separate and the sun shines again. But for now, Hollywood's dangers are still testing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
