Following a disastrous few months, Meghan Markle will stop at nothing to prove everyone wrong, even if it means going it alone
After lying low for the past few months as her feud with the royals rumbles on, Meghan Markle returned in style last week.
Releasing a stunning new photograph of herself, Meghan, 42, revealed to fans that she had signed to podcast company Lemonada Media – a partnership she says will see the launch of a “dynamic new podcast” in the coming months, as well as a re-release of her Spotify podcast, Archetypes.
IN DEMAND
And now a source says Meghan’s latest Hollywood power moves are proof that she is determined to be successful, even if that means going it alone without husband Prince Harry.
The insider says, “Meghan has made it clear she wants to be seen as a separate entity from Harry, to carve out a profile away from him so she can make a name for herself in her own right.
“She’s determined to show the world that she is as in demand as ever and doesn’t need the royals after all of the blows she’s had recently. She’s been lying low, but now she wants to up the ante.”
Meghan’s announcement comes just two months after her promise to fans that she and Prince Harry, 39, had “exciting things on the slate” for this year. But this isn’t the first time the Sussexes have been forced to improvise on their career plans.
After earning millions through their tell-alls on the Royal Family, including their explosive 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey and Harry’s memoir, Spare, the former senior royals seemed adamant that they could make a success of their new life through their charity endeavours and humanitarian work.
After hosting the Invictus Games in September, Harry and Meghan then released a video showcasing their charity work in December.
But last week, Harry and Meghan – who put on a united front while skiing in Canada to promote the One Year to Go events for the Invictus Games – appeared to have made a U-turn on their wish for independence from the monarchy.
Renaming their joint website, formerly known as Archewell, to Sussex.com, the couple are introduced as ‘the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’.
And while their supporters have argued that the title ‘Sussex’ is their family name, Harry and Meghan have also opted to refer to their children – Archie, four, and two-year-old Lilibet – by their official title of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
SOLO CAREER
And while Buckingham Palace are yet to respond to the news, royal experts have now accused the pair of “kicking the royals while they’re down”.
