Harry and Meghan have become a ‘one-trick pony’ with their complaints about the Royal Family – and their Netflix documentary IS a reality show, says Hollywood bible Variety

Hollywood bible Variety appears to have turned on Harry and Meghan after it ran a piece suggesting the pair’s repeated complaining about the Royal Family had made them a ‘one-trick pony’ which was ‘due for the glue factory’.

An article on the VIP section of the publication’s website said some scepticism was ‘warranted’ as to whether the pair had ‘gone to the well one too many times with their oft-repeated tale of mistreatment at the hands of England’s royal family.’

The piece written by Andrew Wallenstein, the president and chief media analyst of Variety Intelligence Platform, questioned ‘how much more meat could possibly be left on this bone’ particularly after Harry’s book, ‘Spare’, is published early next year.

That book will follow the pair’s infamous Oprah Winfrey interview in 2021 and the recently released six-part Netflix documentary series, both of which turned fire on the royal family.

The article provides an insight into how they are being perceived by parts of an industry the Sussexes have now committed themselves to.

The Netflix documentary proved to be a hit for the streaming service with nearly 2.5 million people watching the first episode on the day of its launch in the UK.

But Variety’s piece predicted that by the time Harry’s book comes out, people may see that a ‘backlash already starting to grow really accelerates as the couple’s strategically timed disclosures start to come across too carefully choreographed’.

He added that ‘even the dimmest of minds among their fans’ would eventually ‘tire’ of their ‘Oh, woe is us’ routine’ as they ‘play the victim card again and again’.

Mr Wallenstein, who even compared the pair to a ‘burlesque act’, wrote that if the pair carried on complaining about being victimised, it risked being seen as a ‘tone-deaf message’ to be giving out from their ‘posh’ estate in California, when there was ‘economic insecurity’ around the world.

In the piece titled, ‘It’s Well Past Time for Harry and Meghan 2.0, he wrote: ‘There can only be so many revelations left to share with the public now that the couple have exiled themselves away from their fractious coexistence with the monarchy.

‘Given that they’ve beaten this horse to death, perhaps this one-trick pony is due for the glue factory.’

He added: ‘Their game plan has always been, Come for the sob story, stay for the high-minded uplift.
