Like so many others before them, Prince Harry and Meghan arrived in Hollywood with a multimillion-dollar Netflix deal and high hopes. They are leaving with their star power fading.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is seen in a white coat and wide-brimmed white hat, while Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, is wearing a dark suit and has four medals on his lapel, as well as a medal around his neck.
