Meghan Markle and Prince Harry 'won't fit in with Obamas and Clooneys' after Oprah

A royal commentator has suggested that Meghan and Harry's desire to mingle with the great and the good in Hollywood may have been scuppered by their Oprah interview

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey may have cost them the celebrity life they desired, according to a royal commentator.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have set up home in California with a life mingling with the Obamas and Clooneys amid a Hollywood lifestyle, but their revelations about the royals and subsequent alleged press leak may have scuppered those chances.

Writing in The Guardian, commentator Barbara Ellen has dismissed the couple's chances of being accepted by Hollywood's royalty, as they may have gone about their release from the Royal Family the wrong way.

Ms Ellen wrote: "Considering where Meghan and Prince Harry wish to end up, are they blowing it up big-time?”

She added: “Put it this way: has Michelle Obama ever sat on a TV sofa b****ing about her sister-in-law?”

Meghan had spoken about Kate, Duchess of Cambridge during her "intimate conversation” with Oprah, which was aired on ITV, 24 hours after it was shown in the United States.

Ms Ellen added that this would make it difficult to be be ingratiated in certain circles: “While it’s accepted that such behaviour is offensive to the royals, it’s forgotten that it’s also the antithesis of how the mega-rich, uber-influential, notoriously private elite conduct themselves.”

She continued to say that while Meghan and Harry want to join the likes of George and Amal Clooney, Bill and Melinda Gate, Beyonce and Jay-Z and Barack and Michelle Obama, she pointed out these celebrities are a "discreet breed, living in micromanaged worlds, operating a strict privacy-first code”.

Ms Ellen said that the Sussexes will have to work hard to prove themselves worthy of being seen in the same light as some of the most respected celebrities in the world.

She wrote that they are "unlikely to feel true kinship” with this group of A-listers and that they "don't fit in" with the path they have chosen so far.

Harry has taken the first steps of helping them be accepted among the Hollywood elite but being accepted as Chief Impact Officer with a Silicon Valley mental health startup, BetterUp.
