Ever since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have had an up-and-down relationship with both the public and the press alike. Their migration to Canada, the US and now California has been followed intensely by fans and critics alike. While some praised their desire for freedom and privacy away from the British media, others referred to their exit as a "Megxit" and expressed dissatisfaction over lost taxpayer funds.

However, over the past year a major new problem appears to have emerged in Harry and Meghan's personal sphere that has eroded much of the goodwill they once enjoyed. The couple's activities and apparent disregard for their royal heritage has prompted renewed criticism from estranged fans and observers. According to inside sources, changes in the couple's behavior and priorities has distanced them from both the royal family as well as old friends.

Rather than continue their prior advocacy work, Harry and Meghan have instead focused intensely on commercial ventures and public relations projects. This has raised doubts about the sincerity of their stated goals around issues such as mental health and empowering communities. Efforts to contact other charitable organizations have also been less successful than promised, which some see as ironic given their separation was partly due to a desire for more freedom and control over their image and roles.

The consequence of this leaked information has led to a significant decline in the number of devoted "shippers" and supporters who initially favored their break from full-time royal duties. Many complain of feeling let down as the couple's behaviors now appear more "mercenary" and "business-like" rather than mission-driven. Some of their activities look rather aimed at making money above all else.

Social media platforms have been filled with a mix of disappointed, critical and downright condemnatory comments as the gap between the Sussexes and their former audience appears to have widened dramatically. Hashtags like #CancelMeghanMarkle and #TheSussexesHaveFallen have begun trending in recent weeks. Even their most stalwart defenders now acknowledge tensions have grown and trust has eroded on both sides of the divide.

Their next moves will be watched with intense scrutiny by the court of public opinion. Only time will tell if further leaks and confrontations emerge from their former inner circle as well. For now, it seems the consequences of fame, infamous royal exits and polarized audiences have caught up to the Sussexes in this latest controversy.
