ROYALSSussex Support Meltdown: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Deserted by High-Profile Pals Amid Popularity Collapse
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have a 'tiny fan base' in Britain.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle haven't been popular in the U.K. "in years," but their last A-list holdouts may be preparing to walk the plank to avoid catching the Sussex curse!
When asked if anything can change Harry and Meghan's fortune, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams revealed: "Much depends on Meghan’s cookery program for Netflix and how well American Riviera Orchard, her lifestyle brand, actually does."
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 'are not at all popular in Britain.'
"Meanwhile, it seems most unlikely that more awards will come Harry’s way anytime soon," he added.
The commentator also pointed out how the duo's few A-list acquaintances in America are assisting in boosting their image there, but none of that is being seen in Britain where Sussex A-list support "is slim."
"Nacho Figueras is a friend of Harry’s, and will appear in Harry’s series on polo for Netflix," he continued. "Yet this is an elitist sport and unlikely to draw a large number of viewers. Harry has, of course, outstanding legal issues over security and with the press which he intends to pursue in Britain but this is surely not destined to be his main claim to fame in the future."
Back home in Hollywood, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex' most well-known celeb backers are Mindy Kaling, Serena Williams, Kris Jenner, Tracee Ellis Ross and Ellen DeGeneres.

The Beckhams "had a taste of Team Sussex and are no longer interested in the product," a Hollywood insider spilled of the couple.
"George Clooney and Oprah are two names we don't really know much about with Harry and Meghan. Nothing has been heard about them in a long while, but some close sources say both mega stars moved away from the Harkles," they added when referencing the ex-working royals' media nickname.
This comes after Fitzwilliams claimed the Duke of Sussex "will never win another award" after the pushback and objections to his receiving the Pat Tillman Award at the ESPY Awards on Thursday, July 11.
"There's the fact that 70,000 people apparently have felt that it shouldn't be," he said. "And that Pat Tillman's mother, Mary, thought that he was not of a character the sort of person who should get it."

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex left the British royal family over four years ago.
The prince attended the glitzy gala with Meghan, although the ex-working royals conspicuously skipped walking the red carpet to pose for photographs and field press questions.
"There was no question Harry would accept this," he added. "The award was never going to be withdrawn. I think that any award that doesn't want controversy will think twice before awarding it to either the Sussexes in the future. It's remarkable. It helps wounded and disabled service men and women, both in the services and veterans, and no one is casting any aspersions on that."
The commentator then added: "What isn't ideal is that Harry's idea of service is very, very questionable."
