Royal experts believe that the so-called 'curse of Prince Harry' has not stopped at his exit from the British royal family but has followed him even into the world of 'Hollywood.' Observers confirm that the Duke of Sussex still struggles to overcome the repercussions of his sudden decision to step back from royal life six years ago, a decision that left a trail of professional failures and ongoing personal tensions. His bestselling book 'Spare', released in 2023, in which he revealed sensitive details and dangerous family secrets, has only widened the gap between him and other members of the royal family. In contrast, experts point to the different path his wife, Meghan Markle, is taking in California, where the Duchess of Sussex is focused on expanding her commercial activities and building what resembles an entrepreneurial empire, capitalizing on her media presence and experience in the entertainment industry. In this context, Kinzie Schofield, host of 'Kinzie Schofield Uncensored' on YouTube, told Fox News Digital that Prince Harry 'has traded one hierarchy for another.' She explained that Harry, who in the royal family was a subordinate to his older brother Prince William, has become in 'Hollywood' a threat to being relegated to a secondary figure to support Meghan Markle's ambitions. Schofield noted that the entertainment industry is fundamentally built on strong presence, stardom, and building a personal brand. She added that Meghan has always demonstrated a clearer ability to plan and manage her image within this environment, whereas Harry still suffers from not having a clearly defined role that transcends being 'Prince Harry,' making him vulnerable to being sidelined. She believes that the lack of a clear vision for his professional path makes him less capable of competing in an environment that does not forgive those who lack an independent identity. These comments came just days after a source in 'Hollywood' spoke to the New York Post, revealing a striking shift in Harry's behavior. In a short period, he transitioned from appearing distraught in London's High Court over privacy-related cases to mingling with Hollywood's elite at the Sundance Film Festival with his wife. The source described this transition as 'insane,' especially considering that Harry had accused the British tabloids during his court testimony of making his wife's life 'miserable.' The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back from their senior royal roles in 2020, citing the intense intrusion of the British press and a lack of sufficient support from the palace. After moving to the upscale coastal area of Montecito in California, they expressed their displeasure in a series of television interviews and documentaries. Harry's memoirs, which included private details about the royal family, further heightened tensions with the palace. Royal experts confirm that the rift between Prince Harry and his brother Prince William remains, and reports also indicate a clear distance between him and his father, King Charles III. Despite the criticism, Harry defended his book 'Spare,' insisting he was telling his personal truth. Schofield sees that the book continues to haunt Harry to this day, leaving him adrift in California without a clear purpose, aside from his association with the Invictus Games for wounded veterans. She added that the irony is that by marketing his traumas through the media, Harry has turned them into part of his personal brand instead of overcoming them. While Meghan, according to Schofield, works consciously and strategically to establish ventures in lifestyle and media, cementing her image as an influential figure and a modern businesswoman, Harry seems content merely to react to his surroundings. She pointed out that this divergence in their career paths has become more pronounced with time, as Meghan carves out her own path while Harry continues to search for his identity. Source: Fox News.
