Meghan Markle: Chasing Shadows in the Spotlight

Meghan Markle seems to be at it again, attempting to latch onto projects that barely connect to her.

The latest chatter revolves around a new spin-off of the hit series Suits.

It's been almost a decade since she graced the show, and spoiler alert—she's not part of this upcoming project.

Yet, that minor detail hasn't deterred her from trying to ride the coattails of a franchise that has long moved on without her.

Recently, NBC confirmed that a Suits spin-off is officially in the works.

Exciting news for fans, but hold your horses, Meghan!

The announcement made it crystal clear that she wouldn't be involved, yet her name keeps popping up in the media as if she's masterminding a grand return.

One can't help but imagine her sitting down at her trusty laptop—the very same one that featured in her Netflix docuseries—and drafting press releases that scream, “Hey, remember me?

I was on Suits!

Miss me yet?”

To add an extra layer of awkwardness, this spin-off isn't even related to any character she portrayed.

It's akin to crashing a party you weren't invited to and announcing, “But I brought cupcakes!” While her enthusiasm is noted, it seems misplaced.

One can only speculate how network executives reacted upon seeing her name linked to this unrelated project.

Did they think, “Wait, who invited her?”

But Meghan's attempts to stay relevant didn't stop there.

She's also stirring the pot with her recent promotion of Tatcha skincare products.

It appears that Markle has been busy showcasing her love for these beauty items.

When Meghan starts endorsing skincare, it raises eyebrows.

Is this really about promoting healthy skin, or is it more about managing her public image?

The stark contrast between her heavily retouched photos and her candid appearances might shed light on her sudden enthusiasm for beauty products.

These skincare items seem to be the latest chapter in her ongoing hustle.

But the question remains: is anyone genuinely buying into it?

Whether it's literally or figuratively, the connection between a Duchess and a jar of moisturizer feels as flimsy as her link to the Suits spin-off.

Markle appears to be placing all her bets on projecting an image of perfection, yet that image could use a bit more authenticity and a lot less filtering.

Speaking of authenticity, let's not overlook the recent Netflix documentary featuring Victoria Beckham.

Unlike the Sussexes' docuseries, this one is generating buzz for its celebration of Beckham's fashion empire—something that reportedly has Markle feeling a bit uneasy.

Why the discomfort?

Well, Beckham is thriving in the fashion world, a space where Meghan has struggled to find her footing, despite her occasional attempts at what she calls “Duchess chic.”

Victoria has been dominating the fashion scene since the 90s, while Meghan's wardrobe choices have left many questioning her style sensibility.

If Markle believes she can compete with Beckham in the style arena, it might be time for a wardrobe overhaul before launching another Netflix pitch.

A gentle suggestion for Meghan: perhaps it's time to step back from the spotlight.

Let the Suits spin-off shine on its own, and allow Beckham her moment in the Netflix limelight.

There's a certain dignity in stepping aside gracefully, and honestly, it's high time Markle embraced that notion.
