Meghan Markle has signed with William Morris Endeavor (WME), the talent agency that boasts clients like Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, tennis superstar Serena Williams, and a litany of other A-Listers.
According to a recent report from Variety, three years after she and her husband Prince Harry took to step back from their duties as British senior royals, the mother to Archie and Lilibet is diving headfirst back into the entertainment industry.
Acting won’t be an area of focus, Variety reports, despite her history on screen. Prior to her marriage, Meghan Markle starred as Rachel Zane on the popular USA Network series ‘Suits’ and appeared in several Hallmark movies.
According to the outlet, Meghan Markle will work with Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel agent Brad Slater, and agent Jill Smoller.
WME will represent Archewell, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s content creation label, and work with the Duchess on film and television production, brand and partnerships, and overall business building.
A newspaper outlet reached out to WME to independently corroborate the news but didn’t obtain a reply by the time of publication.
In her Variety cover shoot in 2022, Meghan Markle said she wasn’t considering a return to acting in the near future.
Meghan Markle said that she was done, but that she would never say never, but that her intention is to absolutely not.
The Duchess did signal that she was interested in doubling down on Archewell and the stories and productions the company takes on.
Meghan Markle said that so much of how her husband sees things is through their love story, and that was what she thought people around the world connected to, especially with their wedding, and that people love love, and that she was not excluded in that sentiment.
She continued that for scripted, they want to think about how they can evolve from that same space and do something fun, and that it doesn’t always have to be so serious, like a good rom-com, and that don’t we miss them. She said that she misses them so much.
Since starting the company, Archewell has produced two docuseries, one of which is Netflix’s ‘Harry & Meghan.’
The Sussexes are presently engaged in a deal with Netflix still.
The news of Meghan Markle signing with WME comes just days after the pair was spotted in public at the Los Angeles Lakers game versus the Sacramento Kings.
Harry and Meghan just wanted privacy, a normal life to raise their children, yet they moved near Hollywood and got an agent. Mind you, I guess that’s as normal as it gets for these two, and privacy means being in control of your private life, not necessarily in seclusion.
However, had Meghan Markle not married into the Royal Family, very few would have even realised who she was.
