A growing sense of fatigue has reportedly taken hold within Hollywood’s professional circles regarding a certain former royal couple. Multiple insiders suggest their reception in Los Angeles has cooled significantly, with claims that initial goodwill has been exhausted and there is little remaining appetite for their projects.
According to these sources, their professional conduct has become a point of contention. The Duke is alleged to have a pattern of tardiness for important meetings, while the Duchess is described by some as coming across as dismissive and overly confident in her own expertise. One industry contact summarized the mood bluntly, stating the act has grown stale and people are simply “sick of them.”
This reputational shift comes amid the couple’s continued efforts to build their media empire. They recently secured an extension of their production partnership with Netflix, transitioning from an overall deal to a first-look agreement. The Duchess publicly framed this continuation as a testament to the strength of their creative partnership, drawing a parallel to other high-profile production companies.
Their original multi-year pact with the streaming giant, signed in 2020, was valued at an estimated $100 million and pledged a focus on content ranging from documentaries to family programming. Netflix’s leadership initially expressed pride in being their chosen creative home.
However, the performance of their output has faced scrutiny. One of their flagship series has been met with considerable viewer criticism, labeled by some as out-of-touch. Industry whispers now suggest the show is unlikely to be renewed for a third season following a disappointing second run, with those involved doubting its future.
The narrative emerging from Tinseltown is one of a partnership struggling to translate their global fame into sustained professional credibility, facing both internal critiques of their working style and external questions about the appeal of their content.
