Meghan Markle Signs with Talent Agency WME, Slow and Steady Approach the Right Move, Royal Experts Say

Meghan Markle is back in the spotlight after being out of the spotlight for almost three years following her and Prince Harry's return as active members of the royal family in January 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic that followed shortly thereafter. in March 2021. (albeit a major, major one, including a conversation with Oprah Winfrey, attendance at the Platinum Jubilee in June 2022 and the funeral of His late Majesty three months later, and the Harry and Meghan documentary on Netflix in December 2022) Meghan has been largely out of the spotlight for over three years She has been absent, but since signing with the powerful talent agency William Morris Endeavor (WME) in April of this year, she has been more visible.

Royal family expert Jack Royston believes that this move, the signing with WME, especially Ari Emanuel, has turned the tide in her favor, reports the Daily Express. Royston, who covers the royal family for Newsweek, said, "In fact, it's one of the most empowering moves for Meghan. "WME represents not only Meghan, but also Jessica Alba, Matt Damon, and Joaquin Phoenix. While the "tangible" results of Meghan's deal may not yet be visible to the public six months from now, Royston said that given the (outrageous) outrage that erupts whenever Meghan dives head first into a venture, a gradual approach to success will ultimately benefit Meghan's benefit, he said.

"In the online world, six months is a short window of time to build behind the scenes," a public relations agent who handles Hollywood celebrities told Royston.

"It's a sensible approach, to slowly build the backstage and figure out who she is and how she wants to be perceived.

As the Daily Express points out, Harry and Meghan's relationship with WME may go back further than we are fully aware - in his book Spare, Harry thanks Jennifer Rudolph Walsh, head of WME's literary department in his book "Spare," suggesting that the relationship is deeper than is immediately apparent on the surface.

Moving forward, Royston said, the challenge is for the two to anticipate public speculation and write their own story, rather than letting the story write for them.

"One of the characteristics of Harry and Meghan," Royston said, "is that whenever there is a void of information, speculation tends to grow about them. 'This was seen recently when the two stayed out of the limelight for several months and unsubstantiated rumors began circulating that they were secretly divorced.'

The year ahead for Princess Meghan will no doubt be a remarkable one.
