Harry and Meghan are suffering ‘week from hell’ with ‘drip drip of bad news’

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly suffering the "week from hell" as a "drip, drip, drip of bad news" dominates their lives.

Royal columnist Daniela Elser, who is hyper-critical of the Sussexes, said she has for the first time felt "pity" for the pair, who she dubs "grifters".

Her fresh take on the pair comes after they asked US President Joe Biden if they “could get a ride back to the United States on Air Force One” and were denied, according to a Daily Mail story Elser cited in her news.com.au column.

"If this was another point in time, this Air Force One story would be embarrassing, a sort of entitlement hangover, but instead, it comes after two months of a drip, drip, drip of bad news for Harry and Meghan," she wrote.

“It would have been a grand photo-op: Harry and Meghan climbing the steps of the famous blue-and-white 747 to wave alongside the President and First Lady of the United States,” the article in the Mail stated.

But the embarrassing rebuff comes after a myriad of other problems, Elser claimed.

"Their brands and careers have taken a hiding of late," she wrote, saying that both Spotify and Netflix will be parting ways with the pair, according to reports.

She cited a Wall Street Journal story that described the couple’s “Hollywood foray” as “looking like a flop” and mentioned a second story from the same title where Archewell employees criticised the company's "lack of direction".

"Its founders at times seem surprised by the work required to finish entertainment projects," the title reported.

And last month, an industry insider told Page Six that the duke and duchess “have come off as being lazy and difficult”.

"These two just can’t seem to catch a break. The business press is now covering their failures and failings, the Emmys have passed them over, their podcasting dreams have been dashed, their charitable careers can be most sympathetically described as middling and they have failed to win widespread US public support or acclaim," the columnist concluded.
