Meghan Markle’s next big career move revealed – without Prince Harry

It’s been a turbulent few weeks for the Duchess of Sussex, but now her next project has reportedly been revealed – and it doesn’t involve Harry.

Meghan Markle’s next career move has reportedly been revealed.

Amid plenty of speculation about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s future, the Duchess of Sussex’s next career move has reportedly been revealed.

According to MailOnline, following the axing of her podcast Archetypes, Meghan is now gearing up for a “string of commercial endorsements in fields meaningful to her, such as food, wellness, fashion and therapy”.

It comes as Brand Sussex has taken a hit recently, with the collapse of their reported $29 million Spotify contract and doubts about the future of their $150 million Netflix deal, leaving question marks surrounding what might come next for the pair.

In 2021, the couple signed a lucrative book deal – reportedly worth up to $55 million – with Penguin Random House, in an agreement which involved four books.

Harry’s memoir, Spare, was released in January and became an instant bestseller, and according to MailOnline, Meghan will soon follow suit with her own book, “most likely with a feminist angle.”

The Duchess of Sussex has reportedly been looking to shift gears in her career, signing with top Hollywood talent agency WME in April in order to pursue new opportunities.

Meanwhile, it emerged last week that Harry is planning to head to Africa to film a solo project with Netflix, believed to be inspired by his late mother, Princess Diana.

The latest development in the couple’s career plans comes amid reports the couple are claiming they’ve been “repeatedly unlucky” in their attempts to relaunch themselves since quitting royal duties.

In the months after leaving Britain in early 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed several high-profile deals in quick succession worth tens of millions of dollars, seemingly laying the groundwork for an empire to follow.

Fast-forward three years, and that plan appears to have gone awry.

“The word is that they think they’ve been really unlucky,” an LA source told The Daily Mail, adding that they believe Covid-19, economic downturns and the deaths of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II have significantly hampered their efforts.

Harry and Meghan announced they were stepping back from royal life in January 2020, just months before the world went into a series of lockdowns due to the pandemic.

In March 2021, they made global headlines with their explosive Oprah Winfrey interview, which featured a number of damaging claims against the royal family.

Just one month later, Prince Philip died at the age of 99.

Last August, Meghan launched her first podcast series, Archetypes, as part of her and Harry’s huge Spotify deal, but was forced to briefly postpone it following Queen Elizabeth II’s death the following month.

Amid a major overhaul of its structure and staff lay-offs, it was announced recently that Spotify would not be renewing the couple’s deal, with an insider telling the New York Post they simply hadn’t produced enough content amid a wider budgeting overhaul.

The same streaming economic overcorrection is reportedly said to be impacting the future of their deal with Netflix, with neither service able to splash the kind of cash that was on offer when they first signed Harry and Meghan.
