Megan Markle and Prince Harry have come to see how the “loud mouth” that helped them open doors in the US has now turned against them, a royal commentator noted. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have suffered a significant drop in popularity in the United States following the release of Harry’s explosive memoir, Spare, earlier this month. Former Express.co.uk royal reporter Kara Kennedy noted that the couple’s omission at Oprah Winfrey’s birthday party could mean that Harry and Meghan are now falling out of Hollywood’s favour.
Kennedy said: “A-list megastars gathered to celebrate the TV icon’s birthday hosted by Anastasia Beverly Hills, along with the brand’s twenty-fifth anniversary.
Kim Kardashian attended and posted some photos of her Instagram Story captioned “Happy Birthday @oprah. Sharon Stone said it best last night to toast you mean the world for the world! Congratulations!”
“Don’t worry Megs, we’re sure it wasn’t that much fun.”
Writing in The Spectator, she added: “To channel Oprah herself, is the exclusion an act of racism? Subconscious bias? Is Meghan sitting at home crying on the kitchen floor after waiting patiently by the mailbox all weekend?

“It appears that Mr. and Mrs. Markle’s loud mouth is now being used against them after a series of similar incidents in recent years.”
Harry and Meghan have repeatedly boasted about their famous friends as they made the transition from royals to celebrities.
The Duke even devoted a portion of his memoir to honoring friends James Corden, Chris Martin, and even disapproving talk show host Oprah Winfrey.
Di For podcast host Kinsey Schofield pointed out that the Duke and Duchess could alienate their so-called friends by continuing to share details of their conversations or go back on past claims.

Schofield added: “Did Courteney Cox expect to one day be called out for ‘magic mushrooms chocolates’ in ‘Spare?’
“Does Gayle King like being addressed on the internet when Harry tells ITV there is no royal racist after Gayle appeared on morning television claiming her friends, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, had receipts?”
And a Hollywood insider told The Spectator, “The Sussexes are having some drama. Everyone here is starting to realize they never intended to have a quiet life.
