Since the couple’s notorious sitdown with Oprah Winfrey last March, the twosome have been on a tear on a podcast and in the petulant prince’s new Apple TV+ series The Me You Can’t See.
“The British public recognize attention-seeking when they see it,” Rosindell told the Daily Express.
“I hope that the response of the British public will be as it should: to simply ignore Harry and Meghan and starve them of the oxygen they seem to desperately seek.”
And Rosindell said that Prince Harry has now been written off by the British public.
“What has happened with Prince Harry is a great sadness to the Queen and Royal Family as a whole,” he told the newspaper. “It is also very sad for the country that he has chosen the path that he has chosen.
“It was only three years ago when he had that wonderful wedding but then in less than two years have effectively resigned from the Royal Family is a great shame. Maybe him coming back for Prince Philip’s funeral will have reminded him what he has given up.
“But the country has moved on now — they do think of him as part of the Royal Family, but they don’t think of him as having a role anymore.”

Meanwhile, as Harry pursues a scorched earth policy with his family, one royal insider said the newly woke Duke of Sussex is on “increasingly dicey ground” with Netflix and Spotify.
Daniela Elser said Harry’s moaning has become tiresome and the streaming bigs may refuse to renew his contracts, she wrote on News.com.au.
“The presiding sentiment can be simply put down to this: Yawn,” she said.
“Ever since Harry and wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, opened up to Oprah in March, their denunciations of the Royal Family have started cropping up with a certain predictability that is now verging on the monotonous.”
She added: “Public sympathy, Harry may well find, is a finite resource, a fact made even more acute by the events of the past 15-months.
“No matter what he has gone through, public willingness to watch him excoriate his own family in a public forum seems to be dwindling, at least in some quarters. All of which leaves him on increasingly dicey ground.”
Elser added a “fatigue” has set in and there’s “declining interest to breathlessly tune in” in seeing what Harry has to say.
Long term, it could impact the ambitious pair’s “commercial endeavours.”
“Netflix and Spotify are not just ponying up vast sums of cash for the couple’s compassionate storytelling nous but for the fact that they will, supposedly, generate huge amounts of publicity and potentially subscribers,” Elser said.
