Duds of Sussex (noun.) Alternative title given to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. (Dud, single masculine noun. Dudsness, single feminine noun. Duds, short plural noun. Dudling, Dudlings, dimunitive single and plural nouns).
Referring to their career failures. From the Dudsness' 72 days of actual royal service, the Dud'
s poorly
ghost written memoir, Jeremy Zimmer, prestigious
talent representative at UTA, called the Dudsness "not a great audio
talent, or necessarily any kind of
talent", and both Duds were called "f***ing grifters" by Spotify executive
Bill Simmons. Further, their charity was called into question when public disclosures revealed they work 1 hour per week.
Personal blunders include lying about a 2 hour, "near catastrophic", high
speed paparazzi car
chase in New York City. NYC Mayor Eric Adams and the NYPD stated that no
chase occurred and the Duds of Sussex "arrived safely home".
Hypocritically, the Duds of Sussex left the United Kingdom for the United States—a country which successfully fought a war to be free from the Crown's rule. However, they demand that people in the USA address them and their children by peerage titles. The USA does not have a system of nobility and ruthlessly satirized the couple on the cartoon "
South Park". (Season 26, episode 2, "Worldwide Privacy Tour").
In a gesture of goodwill, the US citizens have bestowed a title crafted exclusively for them: The Duds of Sussex. Their children are to be called "Dudlings".
