There are reports that Meghan Markle may have parted ways with WME (William Morris Endeavor) and returned to her former PR firm, Sunshine Sachs.
It's been confirmed that Kaye Thomas Morgan, a prominent partner at Sunshine Sachs, accompanied Meghan and Prince Harry in their car on the way to Tyler Perry's home. When Meghan initially signed with the prestigious WME, expectations were high. However, a year and a half later, the situation appears markedly different. Rather than launching her career into stardom, Meghan seems to be caught in a series of missteps, leading many to question whether she’s truly suited for the high-pressure world of Hollywood.
Critics have been quick to suggest that Meghan has squandered the opportunities that came her way. One example is the much-anticipated "American Riviera Orchard" project, which, like several other ventures, seems to have faltered under her watch. This raises the question: Is Meghan Markle a shrewd businesswoman or merely a former actress with a few minor roles on a second-rate soap opera? WME likely knew they were taking a gamble when they signed her. Though she may have been a relatively unknown actress to some, her royal connections were undeniably alluring. They saw potential in Meghan’s unique brand—a blend of royalty and celebrity. However, as her journey with WME unfolds, the agency now finds itself in a difficult position, struggling to justify its choice.
Initially, WME seemed like the perfect fit for Meghan. Any aspiring actress would dream of being represented by such a powerhouse agency. Yet the buzz surrounding her career has quieted, dwindling into rumors of failure. Reports indicate that WME is receiving more inquiries about Prince Harry than about Meghan, a striking revelation that raises eyebrows. What's even more curious is that no one seems willing to address this issue with Meghan directly. She appears unaware of the declining number of offers, leading to a significant disconnect between her ambitions and the reality of her career.
Even Meghan’s recent appearance at the Emmy Awards, where she hoped to make a splash, failed to generate the desired buzz among WME’s other high-profile clients. Sources suggest that other stars at the agency are hesitant to be associated with what some perceive as Meghan’s downward trajectory. An astonishing 90% of the requests coming through WME reportedly center on Prince Harry. Even his appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" seemed to focus more on him than on Meghan. This further illustrates that while the world remains fascinated with Harry, Meghan is struggling to establish her own presence in an industry that appears increasingly indifferent to her.
There’s also a compelling contradiction at play: Meghan might have been part of a winning combination with Harry, capitalizing on their shared public image. However, she seems reluctant to fully embrace that path, perhaps viewing it as incompatible with her own ambitions. This reluctance only adds to the intrigue surrounding her current position. Meghan may believe she’s thriving behind the scenes, but the harsh truth is that most of the interest from WME’s clients centers around Harry, leaving her in a less flattering position.
As this saga continues to unfold, one can’t help but wonder how Meghan’s Hollywood story will end. Will she find a way to reinvent herself and succeed in an industry that can be notoriously unforgiving, or will this chapter close with her searching for a new direction? The clock is ticking, and with her ties to WME seemingly fraying, the stakes have never been higher. Meghan Markle’s journey with WME serves as a cautionary tale about the collision of ambition and reality.
