The fairytale is over in the US for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as the pair fall out of favour with Americans, a US-based royal commentator has claimed.

Lee Cohen said that the Sussexes once “epitomised a modern fairytale”, but now believes their “whining” has changed all that – and the US’s love affair with the pair has “significantly cooled”.

He wrote in The US Sun: “Harry and Meghan just love to complain. And in America’s largely optimistic society, that is a bad look.

“While some view the couple’s openness as a brave stance against institutional rigidity, many others perceive it as ungrateful and divisive.

“A segment of Americans, particularly those of us who respect and admire the monarchy, find these repeated criticisms disrespectful and unbecoming. So the Sussexes’ endless narrative of grievance has alienated many who once admired their candour.”

Cohen highlighted a number of events that have alienated the Sussexes from American citizens – from the infamous Oprah interview through to the publication of Harry’s autobiography Spare.
