He said to The Sun’s Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson: “I think they’ve struggled.
“Initially of course, as so many people have pointed out, Meghan was treated as a breath of fresh air, a fantastic addition to the family by the British media, but there’s been a change.
“I think the US media has got bored with them continually moaning about the way they’ve been treated.
“And essentially has said ‘ok right we’ve heard that story, we don’t want to hear about that any longer.’
“‘If you are Americans, essentially, if you’re basically yourself here, then you need to show us that you are enterprising people who are creating new lives for yourselves out here.’
‘“What have you got to show us?’”
This follows Meghan’s £18million deal with Spotify falling through last June, after her Archetypes podcast produced just 12 episodes.
It was said the shows did not meet “productivity requirements”.
Richard, who is Royal Correspondent for the Daily Express, added: “I think they’ve been beset by problems really.
“They’ve been one step forward, two steps back all the time.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as senior working royals in 2020 and now live in California with their two kids, Prince Archie, four, and Princess Lilibet, two.
They have since criticised royal life in Prince Harry’s Spare memoir, their bombshell Oprah Winfrey tell-all chat and in their Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan.

Right-wing group the Heritage Foundation is suing the US government for access to the paperwork.
Heritage argues that Harry’s admission in his memoir Spare that he took cocaine should disqualify him from immigrating to the US.
The foundation said that Harry must have lied in his immigration forms – or was given special treatment.

But lawyers for the US government said Harry could have made up his cocaine bombshell to “sell books“.
The Sun revealed Harry backdated his US residency to the exact day he and Meghan were ousted from their UK base.
Royal experts suggested Harry was making a point after being “deeply wounded” by the order to leaveFrogmore Cottage.
