In April 2023, Megan Markle signed with WME, securing Ari Emanuel as her agent.
Described on the agency's speaker listing website as a feminist champion of human rights and gender equity, Megan is recognized globally as a role model with a lifelong commitment to advocating for women and girls. She has been consistently ranked among the most powerful and influential women in the world by publications such as Time Magazine, Financial Times, Variety, and British Vogue.
Despite these accolades and predictions of her potential projects with WME, no announcements have been made in the nearly 9 months since her signing.
Concerns arose when fans noticed the absence of Megan Markle's name on WME's official website, prompting speculation about whether she might have been quietly dropped by the agency less than a year after signing. Although her profile remains on the Harry Walker agency's website, where she and Harry signed in 2020 for speaking engagements, questions linger about her current representation. Royal expert Angela Levan and various fans expressed curiosity and raised speculations on social media platforms.
One fan's tweet questioning whether WME had dropped Megan gained attention, with references to such speculations on platforms like Cor and Reddit. Speculation grew further when fans noted Megan's name missing from the WME website, while other celebrities like Ben Affleck and Emma Stone were listed. Some fans hoped the speculations were true, while others expressed opinions about Megan needing a reality check or considering her one of the biggest flops on WME's roster.
Adding to the intrigue, a YouTuber contacted WME and reported that the receptionist confirmed Megan Markle was no longer represented by the agency. Meanwhile, a source told US Weekly that Harry and Megan believe 2024 will be a year of redemption for them. Megan is reportedly turning down numerous work offers, from film roles to multimillion-dollar endorsement deals, surprising her team with her popularity.
Amid ongoing speculation about Megan's future plans, including potential political involvement and a return to acting, Royal commentator Kinsey Scoffield suggested that becoming an influencer might be the only route Megan sees for herself. The uncertainties surrounding Megan Markle's professional endeavors continue to fuel discussions and speculation about her career trajectory in 2024.
