Meghan Markle may have been worried about becoming irrelevant amid her Netflix deal falling apart. Earlier this year, the Duchess of Sussex confirmed her reality show “With Love, Meghan” was going to return with the second season. The next feature is expected to air later this year. However, according to recent reports, Markle and Prince Harry’s multimillion-dollar deal is set to expire in September and won’t be renewed afterwards. Amid this, the television personality is reportedly panicking and has begun seeking new projects.
Meghan Markle is ‘terrified of fading into irrelevance,’ says ‘source’
A new report suggests that Meghan Markle could be looking for new projects after her Netflix deal expires. Rob Shuter’s exclusive #ShuterScoop report claims that the 43-year-old former actor has been panicking after Netflix decided to end the $100 million contract. Markle is now reportedly working towards landing her next gig. An insider told #ShuterScoop that the Duchess of Sussex is “terrified of fading into irrelevance.”
The report has even alleged that at this point, Markle would even be open to taking a “hot topics seat next to Whoopi Goldberg if they let her.” The insider continued to warn that the mom of two “needs a new hit,” and that too “fast.” They added, “This next chapter could make or break her.” The latest claims come after The Sun reported last week that Markle and Prince Harry’s Netflix series will not be renewed when it expires this September.
The outlet’s exclusive report also hinted at one of the reasons behind the deal falling apart. A source stated that the bosses at Netflix were “mildly infuriated” by Markle’s shift in priorities. The duchess is reportedly more focused on her brand “As Ever.” The source added that the streaming giant “won’t play second fiddle to that.”
Meanwhile, there have also been reports about Markle’s husband, Harry, holding peace talks with the royal family. A royal expert told The Sun that the couple’s financial troubles may have led to efforts in reconciliation.
