Prince Harry “looked miserable” says Kinsey Schofield
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have run out of steam after the Duke’s new docuseries failed to crack the top spot on Netflix, a royal watcher has claimed.
Heart of Invictus follows several athletes as they train for last year’s Invictus Games started by Harry in 2014 for wounded or injured service members.
The show also saw Harry open up about his mental health issues while several scenes featured Meghan Markle supporting the Duke.
However, the show - part of an £80 million deal with Netflix - reportedly failed to crack the streaming giant’s top 10 list in either the US or the UK leading some royal experts to question the Sussexes' relevance.
“Failing to make Netflix's top 10 kind of just shows that they've they've lost a lot of steam. People are just no longer interested," writer and broadcaster Esther Krakue told Sky News Australia.

She added: “How can the Duke of Sussex's documentary series not even make Netflix’s top 10? It just shows that people are turned off and are no longer interested in what the Prince has to say.”
Ms Krakue wasn’t the only one to question Meghan and Harry’s star power, royal expert Kinsey Schofield said the show may not have been what Netflix “signed up for.”
“Maybe some executives sat back and watched it and said this is good, but this isn't what we signed up for … I also think people are tired of Harry and Meghan a little bit,” Ms Schofield said on Talk TV.
By contrast, the Duke and Duchess’s last Netflix release - Harry & Meghan - rocketed to the top of the charts.

That show reportedly broke streaming records and was the most-watched TV subscription series in the UK last year.
Harry & Meghan detailed the Sussexes' relationship, marriage and eventual split from the Royal Family.
Around a month later, Prince Harry released his tell-all memoir Spare which was also hugely popular becoming a bestseller overnight.
The autobiography took aim at several members of the Royal Family - including Prince William, Princess Kate and Queen Camilla - and kept Prince Harry squarely in the spotlight.

Some royal experts have argued that the public is getting sick of Meghan and Harry after their long stint in the limelight and polls taken after the release of Spare saw their popularity plummet.
Now, the couple are preparing to attend this year’s Invictus Games in Dusseldorf, Germany. Harry will fly to the UK to give a speech at the WellChild Awards.
He is set to arrive in Germany on September 9 meaning the Duke will likely be in the UK for the one-year anniversary of the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
It’s been reported, however, that Harry won’t meet with other Royals while in the country. Meghan Markle is set to meet Harry in Germany a short time later.
