Let's Be Honest, Harry and Meghan Were Never Going to Last in America
Harry and Meghan’s reported return to Britain reveals why their attempt to reinvent themselves in America faced a built-in limit.
Harry and Meghan's American experiment in celebrity and royal life never truly succeeded, according to recent reports. The couple, who left their royal duties in 2020, are reportedly planning to return to Britain with their children in September. Their children, Archie and Lilibet, are set to start school in the UK. Despite their media ventures, including a Netflix documentary and Harry's memoir Spare, the couple's most marketable asset was their proximity to the British monarchy, which Americans could not easily access.
This proximity faded as the couple distanced themselves from royal life, leaving them with limited content to generate fresh interest. While one could argue that immigrants often reinvent themselves in the U.S., Harry and Meghan struggled to become more captivating than the institution they had left behind.
