He noted the couple’s initial popularity has waned, especially as they find themselves at odds with those who were once their supporters.
Dampier told GB News: “When they first went out there, they were popular. When you’ve fallen out with the woke luvvies and they’re starting to take the mickey out of you, you know that your star has fallen.”
The royal expert is warning the couple could face a a further decline in their popularity throughout 2024, “unless they pull something out of the bag”.
He further explained: “Everyone’s just regarding them as figures of fun. And I think this year is going to be a real turning point for them. Unless they pull something out of the bag, they are in for a bit of a nosedive.”
Regarding the comments made, comedian and host Jo Koy drew parallels between Netflix’s hit series, “The Crown”, and HBO’s “Succession” in his opening monologue.
He said: “Succession has nine nominations – just a great series about a rich, white, dysfunctional family, all scheming… oh wait, that’s The Crown. I’m sorry.”
The audience responded with laughter as Koy continued to poke fun at the royals. One of the comedian’s notable jabs was aimed at the Sussexes’ lucrative deals with streaming platforms Netflix and Spotify.
“Harry and Meghan Markle got paid millions for doing absolutely nothing. And that’s just by Netflix,” Koy said.
