"They were seen as having these incredible opportunities such as this Netflix deal, but it looks like they've wasted them, they haven't amounted to much, and people are starting to see there isn't a lot of substance to them."

John Harrington on the Netflix deal

"Meghan and Harry really aren't making a success and it is because they think they're really talented, when actually they're not, one is an actress and one is an ex-royal, they're not directors or producers."

Tom Quinn on their professional roles

"There is a difference in this couple's central levels of resilience, Meghan Markle grew up without any privilege whatsoever, she was a jobbing actress, she had to work in this very cutthroat and sleazy industry which could be very fair."

Bidisha Mamata on resilience

"Meghan has faced a number of brutal setbacks, but she just kicks on to the next one and is more of a hustler than Harry."

Documentary commentary on Meghan's approach

Experts cited in the article argue the duo failed to convert a big opportunity into consistent success. John Harrington says the Netflix venture showed promise but left little substance.
