vThey wanted to become the king and queen of Hollywood, but instead no one wants to deal with Harry and Meghan. From Steven Spielberg to Ellen DeGeneres, from Oprah Winfrey (who didn’t invite them to her birthday party) to neighbor Rob Lowe, it seems that everyone has received a clear warning from their PRs, that of stay away from the Sussexes as much as possible.
Harry and Meghan increasingly isolated in Hollywood
Last September, after the funeral of Queen Elizabeth, Joe Biden refused to give the Sussexes a ride with his Air Force One to bring them back to California, just to avoid the risk of irritating, or even offending the Royal Family. And this prompted the American media to also investigate the status of the Sussexes in that Hollywood where they are struggling to make it. With one result: everyone prefers William and Kate.
Harry and Meghan? In Hollywood, William and Kate are more comfortable
Hollywood stars don’t shy away from the Sussexes just for fear they’ll go around recounting private conversations. The association with Harry and Meghan, experts in Hollywood say, risks damaging a product. If you have a film or theater event to promote in London, for example, the presence of William and Kate on the red carpet it is very likely and can contribute greatly to its success. Better, therefore, to make friends with them by sacrificing the Sussexes.

William and Kate don’t trust Harry and Meghan’s friends
From the famous interview granted by the Sussexes to Oprah Winfrey in March 2021and following numerous revelations about their life at court also by the couple’s friends, it is easy to understand the reasons that lead William and Kate to distrust anyone who frequents the villa in Montecito, headquarters of the Sussex brand.
No one in Hollywood wants to risk their reputation for the Sussexes
It is the opinion of important agents and pierres in California: William and Kate are the real celebrities to woo, not Harry and Meghan. And as the Bidens did, denying them a ride on their own plane, and Winfrey, keeping them away from her party, everything else in Hollywood is following suit. The presence of the Welsh princes alone at a premiere can be vital to the success of a film and solidifying a career in Hollywood. Being friends with the Sussexes can ruin them.
