People magazine appears to have replaced its May 27th cover featuring Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in Nigeria with a new one showcasing Kate Hudson.
This change might be a blow to Harry and Meghan, as it suggests that even the support from their devoted fanbase, the Sussex Squad, couldn't keep them on the cover of the popular magazine. Some critics argue that Kate Hudson, a bona fide star, is more deserving of the spotlight than Harry and Meghan, who are seen by some as less authentic.
Meghan Markle reportedly believes that Prince Harry has the talent to become a Hollywood actor. Amidst speculation about Meghan resuming her Hollywood career, a source told Life & Style that the demand for Meghan's acting has surged due to the reruns of "Suits." Meghan is reportedly thrilled and has received numerous offers over the past five years, but she previously declined them to focus on her royal duties and later to work behind the scenes in Hollywood with Harry. Now, with other opportunities diminishing, she is actively seeking roles and is in discussions with prominent directors and producers. Harry is said to be fully supportive of Meghan's return to acting, which she has always been passionate about.
According to the source, Meghan also believes that Harry could succeed as an actor, although he is currently focused on his philanthropic endeavors. Despite her encouragement, Harry is wary of potential ridicule, making it unlikely that he would co-star with Meghan. Nonetheless, the future remains uncertain, and he may reconsider one day. An anonymous source revealed that Meghan had even encouraged Harry to pursue a leading role in a new movie alongside Kate Hudson. However, insiders note that Harry might struggle to secure even a supporting role due to the competitive nature of the film industry.
In a recent interview, Kate Hudson discussed the challenges of finding male leads for romantic comedies, especially as the genre has shifted towards streaming platforms. She suggested that bringing in actors from other genres, such as Marvel, could diversify the talent pool.
The New York Post's Page Six previously reported that Meghan has been in discussions with various brands for potential collaborations on social media. She is particularly interested in partnering with jewelry brands as she navigates her future after signing with the Hollywood agency WME. An insider revealed that Meghan was initially set to go live on Instagram but reconsidered shortly before launching her Archetypes podcast. In an interview with The Cut in August 2022, Meghan hinted at her return to social media, stating, "Do you want to know a secret? I'm getting back on Instagram." Additionally, she plans to relaunch her lifestyle blog, The Tig, aiming to compete with stars like Gwyneth Paltrow.
A source told Heat Magazine that Meghan is determined to reclaim her status and secure her place as a leading figure in the public eye. She is preparing for a major return to Instagram, a relaunch of her lifestyle brand, The Tig, and plans to host talk shows and launch an extensive publicity campaign. Meghan aspires to be seen on the same level as global icons like Gwyneth Paltrow, Oprah, and Angelina Jolie.
Meghan and Harry are also set to produce a film adaptation of the bestseller "Meet Me at the Lake." However, an insider noted that the focus appears to be primarily on Meghan, leaving Harry uncertain about his role in their joint ventures. Their Spotify deal fell through, and their Netflix deal has faced criticism. As a result, Meghan has been advocating for them to pursue individual projects, believing it would benefit their relationship to not constantly work side by side. While Harry often feels out of the loop due to their busy schedules, Meghan feels she has lost control over her public image and is eager to reclaim her voice.
