People magazine seems to have swapped its May 27th cover featuring Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in Nigeria for a new one with Kate Hudson.
This change could be seen as a blow to Harry and Meghan, suggesting that they may not attract as much attention as they once did. Even the dedicated Sussex Squad couldn't prevent Harry and Meghan from being replaced on the cover of this mainstream magazine. In contrast, Kate Hudson is recognized as a genuine star, while some critics consider Harry and Meghan's fame to be more artificial, driven by their public relations efforts rather than genuine accomplishments.
Meghan Markle believes that Prince Harry has the potential to be a Hollywood actor, thinking he has the talent for the silver screen amid rumors of her own return to acting. A source told Life & Style that the popularity of "Suits" in reruns has generated a renewed interest in Meghan's acting career. She has reportedly received numerous offers over the past five years but turned them down to focus on her royal duties and later to work behind the scenes in Hollywood with Harry.
However, with other opportunities dwindling, Meghan is now actively seeking roles and engaging in discussions with prominent directors and producers. Harry is fully supportive of her career pursuits. Acting is something Meghan has always loved, and she even believes Harry could succeed in it. Nonetheless, Harry is more focused on his philanthropic efforts and is concerned about being ridiculed if he were to venture into acting.
An anonymous source revealed in a blind item that Meghan had encouraged Harry to consider a leading role in a new movie alongside Kate Hudson. However, insiders note that Harry might face significant challenges in securing even a supporting role due to the competitive nature of the industry. In a recent interview, Kate Hudson highlighted the difficulties in finding male leads for romantic comedies, especially as the genre has shifted to streaming platforms. Hudson suggested diversifying the talent pool by including actors from other genres, such as Marvel films.
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 luxury brands like Cartier. After signing with the Hollywood agency WME, an insider revealed that Meghan was set to launch a presence on Instagram but decided to delay it just before releasing her Archetypes podcast. In an August 2022 interview with The Cut, Meghan hinted at a possible return to social media, saying, "Do you want to know a secret? I'm getting back on Instagram." Additionally, she is planning to relaunch her lifestyle blog, The Tig, to compete with celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow.
A source told Heat magazine that Meghan is determined to reestablish herself as a major figure in showbiz. She is preparing for a big comeback with plans to return to Instagram, relaunch her lifestyle brand, appear on talk shows, and embark on a major publicity campaign. Meghan aspires to be recognized alongside global stars like Gwyneth Paltrow, Oprah Winfrey, and Angelina Jolie.
Meghan and Harry are also set to produce a film adaptation of the bestseller "Meet Me at the Lake." However, there seems to be some tension regarding their professional roles. The insider mentioned that Harry is unsure about his place in these ventures, especially since their Spotify deal didn't pan out and their Netflix deal has faced scrutiny. Meghan has been advocating for them to work separately, believing it would benefit their relationship if they weren't constantly working together. Harry often feels out of the loop due to his busy schedule, but Meghan has felt for a long time that she has lost control over her public image and is eager to reclaim her voice.
