US media outlets are losing interest in Meghan Markle and instead turning their attention to Kate Middleton, an insider has claimed.
The Duchess of Sussex has made a number of outspoken claims during a recent interview spree as she promotes her new podcast Archetypes.
In a 6,500-word interview with The Cut magazine, Meghan made allegations about the British media and Royal Family which have led to a social media backlash.
During the interview with The Cut, Meghan claimed that the British media had called her children “the N-word” in a story that made global headlines.
However, despite the fresh allegations, the US media are reportedly turning their attention to Kate and Prince William.
A US TV insider told The Telegraph : "Meghan is sort of regarded as tabloid fodder these days.
"I wouldn’t say her popularity has waned but her star draw has. She was riding on the cusp of being the Duchess, but a lot of their projects have failed and some of the lustre has gone.
"It would be unfair to say she’s not popular but we are doing less on her. We are more likely to do something on William and Kate now."
Meghan and Harry signed lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify following their decision to relocate to California after stepping down from royal duties.
However, in another setback for the pair Meghan's animated series Pearl was axed by Netflix as the streaming giant made cuts.
The Express reports royal commentator Neil Sean suggesting that the axing was "embarrassing" for the Duchess and it would have "hit Meghan very hard".
Another source claimed Brits are "wrong" for thinking America is "obsessed with Meghan" when it is in fact the Queen who they are "really obsessed with".
In July, a survey found just 25 percent of Americans were "very or fairly interested" in reading Prince Harry's upcoming memoir, with a YouGov poll in April determining that just 45 percent had a "favourable or somewhat favourable" view of the Duchess.
The interview with Meghan was published on Monday and made a series of damning references to her strained relationship with the Royal Family.
Nelson Mandela's grandson Zwelivelile 'Mandla' Mandela questioned Meghan's suggestion that her marriage to Prince Harry sparked scene of joy in South Africa, similar to the 1990s release of the anti-apartheid campaigner.
Speaking to the MailOnline, he said: "It can never be compared to the celebration of someone's wedding.
"Madiba's celebration was based on overcoming 350 years of colonialism with 60 years of a brutal apartheid regime in South Africa. So it cannot be equated to as the same."
