Meghan Markle, once a celebrated actress, now faces hurdles in her career after her Royal association. Her talent agency is encountering difficulties in securing opportunities for her. This situation arises as major brands express reluctance to associate with Markle and Prince Harry, fearing potential risk to their ties with the Royal Family.
The Royal couple apparently believe that members of the Royal Family are deliberately blocking brand deals for them, The Daily Express earlier reported citing sources.
“There’s a general feeling that there has been a vendetta waged against them,” the publication quoted the source as saying. “There have been talks held with high profile brands that didn’t lead to anything but should have done. Those brands then actively courted other members of the family.”
“Both Harry and Meghan often wore Dior and were at one point huge fans of the brand,” the source added. “Then the focus shifted towards Camilla and other members of the family. To add salt to the wounds, the actress playing Kate Middleton was announced as the new face of the brand. It was all very suspicious timing.”
Harry-Meghan’s ‘comeback’ unlikely
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield, in her ‘LA Diaries’ on TalkTV, dismissed claims of a ‘comeback’ for the couple. She referred to a recent US Weekly cover featuring them as misleading. The duo’s current standing starkly contrasts with their earlier popularity.
Their year has been marked by setbacks. Spotify terminated Meghan’s podcast deal after just 12 episodes. Additionally, their charity, the Archewell Foundation, witnessed a significant decline in donations.
