Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's controversial Netflix docuseries marked a "turning point" with the American public, a royal author has claimed.
The series, titled Harry & Meghan, dropped on the streaming platform in December and saw them level a series of allegations about the Firm and their time as working royals.
Harry claimed that Prince William left him terrified after screaming and shouting during the Sandringham summit while Meghan recalled her tense first meeting the Princess of Wales.
The series came after they also aired a string of grievances against the royals in their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.
Following the Netflix series and the release of Harry's controversial memoir Spare, people have been left wondering what their next move will be - especially in America.
But American journalist and royal author Christopher Andersen told the Sunday Times : "The Netflix documentary marked a turning point.
"There was the torrent of complaints, many of which seemed, for want of a better word, petty. The whining did not go over well with Americans."
But despite this, the author still believes the Sussexes will not be short of important connections in America.
He said: "There is no question that Harry and Meghan will continue to be well connected in the US. As a power couple, they have few equals. They’ve made it clear they want to be relevant. They’re not going anywhere."
It comes as Harry and Meghan's Archewell foundation undergoes change as the couple plan for the future. Earlier this month it was revealed that two key players would be leaving Archewell.
They are Fara Taylor, who is head of the Archewell Productions marketing team, and internal content head Ben Browning. Both worked on the Netflix docuseries and neither is being replaced.
Ashley Hansen, Archewell's head of communication, previously told the Telegraph that both Fara Taylor and Ben Browning "exceeded expectations and made their mark within the cultural zeitgeist".
She said Harry and Meghan were "hugely grateful" for their support on the "vital look-back projects" that they have recently released.
It comes several weeks after it was announced that Mandana Dayani would be leaving her post as president of Archewell.
It is understood the couple will take on full leadership of the company, and a statement from Archewell at the time was at pains to make clear they had not fallen out.
Ms Dayani, 40, had been at the helm of the couple's media and charitable empire for less than 18 months.
She ran the day-to-day operations at the company and played an integral role in setting up Meghan's Spotify podcast Archetypes.
