In a strategic move, former actress and Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, is reportedly exploring alternative avenues in Hollywood as acting opportunities appear uncertain.
Having stepped back from the world of acting upon her engagement to Prince Harry in 2017, Markle is now considering roles behind the scenes, according to insights from PR expert Laura Perkes.
Perkes suggests that Meghan's acting abilities, perceived as 'dubious' by some, may not secure her leading roles in blockbuster Hollywood films. Instead, the PR expert believes Markle would excel in a directorial or producing capacity.
Perkes commented to The Mirror, "She's very good at directing others and making sure they behave in the way that she wants, so directing or producing could be a great move for her."
The former "Suits" star might also venture into the world of podcasts, leveraging her experiences and contacts. After an unsuccessful attempt at Archetypes, Perkes proposes that Meghan could find success in producing and marketing podcasts or taking on a strategic role in assisting independent directors and producers pitching ideas to platforms like Netflix.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry previously collaborated on a Netflix documentary, detailing their experiences with the Royal Family and another documenting the Invictus Games. With streaming's increasing popularity, Perkes sees an opportunity for Meghan to monetize her expertise and carve out a niche that aligns with her strengths.
The possibility of relaunching her lifestyle blog, The Tig, is also on the table, with Perkes suggesting it could be even more successful now than before. However, the PR strategist dismisses the idea of Meghan participating in televised game shows, deeming them as beneath her expertise.
A notable proposal from Perkes is for Meghan Markle to follow in the footsteps of King Charles and launch her own theater or performing arts center. This venture could involve working with underprivileged and disadvantaged children, aligning with the values and ethos of Archewell, while also acting as an olive branch to the Royal Family.
