Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly feeling “wounded” after being snubbed once again in the Emmy nominations, according to PR expert Lynn Carratt. Despite their docuseries “Harry & Meghan” achieving the biggest debut for a Netflix documentary, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex found their names excluded from the prestigious list. Carratt acknowledged the tough competition for nominations but highlighted that this wasn't the couple's first Emmy snub, mentioning their reported devastation last year, according to the NYPost.
“Meghan and Harry may feel slightly wounded by not receiving an Emmy nomination,” Carratt said.
The Hollywood guru pointed out that Meghan Markle, with a history of Emmy disappointments, faced similar experiences during her seven-season stint on the TV show “Suits,” which never received Emmy or Golden Globe nominations. Despite submitting for an Emmy nomination in 2018, Meghan didn't make the cut for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Rachel Zane.
Carratt believes that the royal pair may now be eyeing nominations as producers for their upcoming film “Meet Me at the Lake.” With their $100 million Netflix deal set to expire in 2025, Meghan and Harry have just one project left under the lucrative arrangement. The PR expert's insights shed light on the couple's ambitions beyond the Emmys and suggest a strategic focus on their roles as producers in the entertainment industry.
As Meghan's former “Suits” co-stars recently reunited at the Golden Globes, the Emmys snub adds a layer of disappointment for the couple. The article reflects the dynamics of their evolving career in the entertainment world, hinting at potential nominations in their future ventures.
