Meghan Markle was sent on a tough and gruelling personal protection course in fear that she would be kidnapped in the lead up to her wedding with Prince Harry in 2018.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have only themselves to blame as their "star appeal" has now "died", royal fans have claimed. The damning verdict comes soon after Pearl, the Duchess of Sussex’s planned animated film about a young girl inspired by influential women from history, was scrapped by Netflix after profits plunged at the streaming giant.Their joint podcast Archewell Audio has meanwhile only released a 35-minute Christmas special, which came out back in 2020, with the Sussex's £18million deal with the audio app now looking to be a bad deal for Spotify.Harry and Meghan's string of media flops has been seen by many as evidence that their ability to draw in large audiences is now fading after years of high-profile media attention.Asked by the Daily Express whether the Sussex's "star appeal" was dying, one person simply wrote: “I can honestly say yes it has.”A second believed their conduct since stepping back from The Firm was to blame, writing: "They didn't have any ‘star power’ in the first place.

Prince Harry’s comments about the safety of the internet have been criticised by a royal expert, who observed that Archie and Lilibet won’t old enough to access social media for some time.The prince recently attended a webinar hosted by youth charity 5Rights Foundation, where he reiterated his stance on the dangers of online harm for young people.The Duke of Sussex expressed a concern that his “two little ones” will “never have to experience the internet as it exists now” and called for a safer digital environment.However, speaking to Talk TV, royal expert Angela Levin picked apart the Duke’s comments and suggested that the young age of Archie and Lilibet meant this was a largely hypothetical scenario.“If one is three and the other is nearly one, they’re not going to be on the internet for some time yet,” she suggested.“And by the time they become teenagers, I don’t think the online stuff is going to be anywhere like what it is [now], and they won’t want to do it because it will be stale and old.“So it’s a ludicrous thing to start preparing a child at the age of nearly one, they’re just not ready for it.”Angela also criticised Harry’s suggestion that it is the job of people making money on the internet to “keep us scrolling".“He’s making an awful lot of money out of Spotify and Netflix and not doing very much for it, so I think it’s pot calling the kettle black,” she observed.Meghan Markle was recently dealt a setback when her original animated series Pearl was scrapped amid huge cuts made by the streaming giant.
