Meghan Markle Signs Multi-Million Pound Deal with Hollywood Talent Agency
Former actress Meghan Markle has reportedly signed a lucrative deal with WME, one of Hollywood's leading talent agencies, in a bid to establish herself as a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.
WME boasts an impressive roster of high-profile clients, including Rihanna, Serena Williams, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and Matt Damon.
Harry Emanuel, the head of the agency, has previously worked with renowned names such as Mark Wahlberg, Martin Scorsese, and Charlize Theron.
According to an insider source cited by Page Six, this deal is not centered around acting opportunities for Meghan.
Instead, it aims to position her as a producer and creator of projects.
The source revealed that Meghan's aspiration is to take charge and run the show.
A close associate of Meghan and her husband Prince Harry emphasized the necessity of finding avenues for financial success, stating, “This is business.”
The inclusion of Archewell, the company founded by Harry and Meghan, in the WME representation further bolsters the couple's ambitions to become influential players in the production arena.
Meghan will be represented by CEO Ari Emanuel, alongside other agents like Brad Slater and Jule Smaller.
Interestingly, just before news of the signing broke, Meghan was spotted wearing clothes from Brand Staud, the label owned by Ari Emanuel's wife.
Meghan's friendship with tennis superstar Serena Williams seems to have played a role in this career move.
Serena has been working with Jule Smaller for many years, and Meghan's association with WME strengthens their connection.
Rumors are circulating that the Sussexes are in talks with a major streaming platform to produce a documentary in South Africa, focusing on humanitarian efforts in the country.
Sources close to the couple suggest that the documentary will showcase their visits to various communities, where they will actively participate in initiatives such as house-building and humanitarian aid.
Meghan is also expected to raise awareness about safe birthing practices.
This potential documentary project would mark the fourth known collaboration between Harry, Meghan, and Netflix.
Their previous endeavors include the “Live to Lead” series, which premiered on New Year's Eve last December, and Harry's upcoming “Heart of Invictus” series, centered around the Invictus Games.
In an interesting parallel, Meghan appears to be following in Serena Williams' footsteps once again.
Serena previously produced a documentary series titled “Serena: My Journey to Africa” over a decade ago.
Notably, Serena attended the recent Met Gala, while Meghan did not receive an invitation.
Meanwhile, Serena announced her second pregnancy at the event, sharing her excitement with fans on Instagram.
The Sussexes' multi-million dollar deal with Netflix, which was signed in December, already includes a six-part documentary series featuring the couple.
However, sources suggest that Meghan's collaboration with WME will focus more on her entrepreneurial ventures.
Described as exceptionally ambitious, Meghan has numerous business ideas, and now she has the support of a powerful machine behind her.
Insiders familiar with the WME deal affirm that this move does not signify a return to acting for Meghan.
Instead, it solidifies her status as an entrepreneur, enabling her to explore new opportunities and embrace the freedom of her new life.
With her determination and the backing of WME, Meghan Markle is poised to make a significant impact in the world of entertainment.
