Prince Harry and Meghan Markle live in a suburb of Los Angeles, but they aren’t quite Hollywood royalty, at least not yet, says a reputation expert, and he has a suggestion on how to make that happen.
Mark Boardman, founder of MarkMeets, spoke to Newsweek, saying, “In my opinion, attending the Oscars could be a make-or-break moment for them.”
Mr Boardman adds: “Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s presence at the Oscars could signal a definitive shift in public perception, transitioning them from royal figures to bona fide Hollywood players.”
He suggests this is the “perfect opportunity” for the Sussexes to stake their claim as A-listers, but there’s one small flaw with his plan, Jimmy Kimmel is hosting this year’s ceremony, who has been known to mock the duo during his late-night show monologues.

Boardman believes Harry and Meghan’s “Hollywood ambitions are clear but their integration into the A-list has been slower than anticipated” and suggests the Oscars is “a star-studded networking magnet.”
“The ceremony remains a cultural touchstone, sparking conversations, influencing trends, and showcasing the incredible talent and creativity that cinema offers, and everyone who’s anyone will be there.”
Perhaps Mr Kimmel will get wind of this and extend a personal invite himself.
