The Meghan Markle and Prince Harry fever is receding, according to paparazzi.
Mark Karloff, a long-time Los Angeles-based photographer, told Techreport via The Post that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are no longer popular subjects.
"When Harry and Meghan first came here [to California], it was a mad scramble to find where they were staying, where they were going to be living, and it was every photographer in LA trying to find out every secret," Karloff recalls.
He said the pair originally arranged "mock photo-ops," leaving many in the industry "frustrated."
"They were doing setups, they would pop up and be doing some charity work, and I think it was their photographers," according to him.
While Karloff confesses to shooting them "at a couple of events" following their 2020 relocation, he soon backtracks.
"Then I decided it was too much for me," he told me. "The craziness of that kind of photo, I stay away from that because it's not exclusive, and they don't make as much money."
According to him, the payout is no longer there.
"In the United States, and in my experience, [interest] has faded down significantly. They're no longer worth the bother, and the money isn't the same," he explained. "People no longer care as much as they once did... I believe they desire control, especially Meghan."
