Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 'terrified' amid devastating new US popularity update

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are "terrified over spiral of decline amid fresh blow" as their "popularity dwindles" , according to a Royal expert.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made headlines in 2020 when they stepped down as senior working royals . After this, the pair decided to leave England and proceeded to the exuberant Montecito mansion in the United States, closer to Meghan's family.

Currently, the couple is experiencing difficulties as they try to rebuild their brand after facing backlash over their withdrawal from the Royal duties. As a result, their popularity stateside seems to be "dwindling".

One particular expert even suggested that "they are desperate to be invited to celebrity events such as the Met Gala and the Oscars each year". But due to their descending fame, an invitation appears less likely than before.

Tom Quinn, a noted author told The Mirror: "Increasingly so far as the senior royals are concerned, Harry has become a non-person. This is really worrying for Harry and Meghan as surveys show their popularity in the United States is also dwindling they are desperate to be invited to celebrity events such as the Met Gala and the Oscars each year, but as their popularity declines this is becoming increasingly unlikely."

He continued, saying: "It's a spiral of decline that terrifies the couple. Meghan also worries that she made a mistake with her new online brand and that the mockery of her expensive jellies and jams have damaged her chances of becoming a successful businesswoman."

As they attempt to reshape their public image, Meghan is gearing up for the full launch of her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. The Duchess introduced her brand with a soft launch in March, teasing it on Instagram with an elegant logo and a homely promotional video featuring Meghan in the kitchen.

She has already sent out samples of her jam to influencers and celebrities, while eager fans have been subscribing to the brand's website, eagerly awaiting the complete launch of the Duchess' venture.
