It’s been Friday the 13th nonstop at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s house — at least that’s how the couple is viewing their recent misfortunes … according to a new report.
The Daily Mail says it’s hearing from “insiders” that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex feel like they’ve been hit with a lot of bad luck over the past few years after they left the Royal Family/institution … and it’s because of this, apparently, that things haven’t worked out.
If this report is to be believed … it would seem they’re pointing the finger elsewhere, and not at themselves. Specifically, Meg and Harry are reportedly blaming COVID, the death of the Queen and the death of Prince Philip for overshadowing their achievements — which they supposedly think would’ve made bigger splashes under a different set of circumstances.
As far as the pandemic’s concerned, DM says their sources claim H&M believe it generally screwed ’em on getting stuff out in an efficient/consistent manner … not to mention setting them back time-wise, as it did for basically everyone else in the entertainment industry.
When it comes to why they’re (reportedly) holding QE2 indirectly responsible … DM’s sources claim they felt like her death coincided with the launch of MM’s podcast, ‘Archetypes,’ and essentially stole all her thunder … as the world focused more on that a week or so later.
Ditto for the Queen’s late husband, Prince Philip, who died about a month after their interview with Oprah aired. Apparently, they think that should’ve had longer legs than it did … and that the Duke of Edinburgh’s passing overshadowed their big moment.

Speaking of that interview, a separate report from The Times (UK) has some juicy new gossip that they’re pedaling … including the alleged notion that Kate Middleton and Prince William were actually the ones behind that “recollections may vary” line that Buckingham Palace released in their official statement responding to Harry and Meghan’s racism claims.
The word is … that statement was a lot more mild than how it finally came out, and that Will and Kate wanted to toughen it up to push back on H&M’s characterization of things.
In other words, things are still icy between Harry and his family — and not just that, but it appears Hollywood isn’t all that interested in his other ideas either … a double-whammy.
Lump in the fact Harry and Meg were finally booted from their Frogmore Cottage home just earlier this week, and it sure sounds like they’re finally out here on their own now without a lifeline — and clearly no further connection to the Royals … besides blood, we suppose.
If the alleged Netflix ultimatum comes to pass … they’ll have to stop playing the blame game and maybe look themselves in the mirror. “Woe is me” ain’t gonna cut it.
