Fairytale Fade Out: Montecito Locals and Americans Fed Up with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's 'Narcissistic' Tantrums

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's "Megxit" in early 2020 turned them from "burgeoning stars to professional, monetizable victims," according to one palace insider. Four years later, "the gig is up," and both royal rebels are reportedly separating professionally in a bid to "try and reset opinion."

This led conservative think tank director of the Heritage Foundation, Nile Gardiner, to share, "Harry and Meghan are viewed as just massive narcissists who spend all the time trashing the royal family."

He added, "Most Americans really admire the royal family. The Queen was hugely popular with Americans, and they don't take kindly to attacks on the royal family. All these attacks from Harry and Meghan, they've gone down very badly in the United States. They have alienated most Americans."

This insight follows Donald Trump's landslide election victory on November 5. This led one royal and political analyst to suggest their series of "misdeeds" are now catching up with them.

"It seems like divine justice or karma that the fortunes of the Sussex bosses have taken such a turn," commentator Lee Cohen told an outlet. "Over the past year, bad behavior and bad judgements have been catching up with them."

Now, with Donald Trump’s historic landslide last week, I imagine there have been some sleepless nights in Montecito," he added. "Whether it’s Portugal, Canada, Montecito, or Frogmore, wherever the Sussexes drop anchor, they seem to wear out their welcome. I don’t know if this [Harry’s visa] will be Donald Trump’s first priority, but it certainly should give cause for some anxiety in Montecito."

Gardiner further observed, "If Harry did lie on his immigration application, he would have to leave the United States. That would be a criminal offense, and he would be subject to deportation from the United States."

The former Rudy Giuliani advisor added, "In terms of where he would go, Canada is the most likely destination I would have thought."

The president-elect previously said of the Duke of Sussex, "I wasn't [a fan] from day one. I think Harry has been used horribly and I think someday he will regret it. I think Harry's been used and been used terribly. I think it's ruined his relationship with his family, and it hurts the Queen. She is trying to do things that I think are very inappropriate."

Before this statement, the then-sitting president said of the duo in 2020, "I am a great friend and admirer of the Queen and the United Kingdom. It was reported that Harry and Meghan, who left the Kingdom, would reside permanently in Canada. Now they have left Canada for the U.S. however, the U.S. will not pay for their security protection. They must pay!"
