After years focused on building a non-profit brand and signing large-scale content production deals, former Duchess Meghan Markle is reportedly making serious moves to return to acting. This shocking decision is interpreted by analysts as a clear indication that the independent financial life and massive cost of living in the US are placing heavy pressure on Prince Harry and Meghan.

Sources close to Hollywood’s entertainment industry reveal that Meghan is seeking high-quality film or television roles, especially prestigious independent projects, rather than purely commercial roles as she took before.

 

💰 The Pressure of “Running Out of Money” After a Series of Failed Deals

 

Upon stepping back from the British Royal Family, Harry and Meghan bet heavily on their ability to earn income through lucrative deals with media giants. However, after a promising start, many of their blockbuster contracts have failed to meet expectations.

The deal with Spotify ended prematurely, accompanied by uncomplimentary remarks from executive leaders. The multi-million dollar contract with Netflix, while yielding some documentaries, has yet to generate enough revenue or prestige to sustain their extravagant lifestyle in Montecito.

Royal analyst Angela Levin commented: “They are facing a harsh reality: the Royal fame can only last so long, but to maintain their mansion and private security team, they need a huge, stable cash flow. Meghan returning to acting is a compulsory financial move, rather than a purely artistic choice.”

 

🎭 Hollywood’s Vicious Cycle

 

Meghan’s decision to return to acting is a risky gamble. Although she achieved success with the series Suits, the Hollywood market has changed drastically. Meghan will have to compete with a younger generation of actors while facing unprecedented scrutiny from the public, who are accustomed to her image as a Royal figure.

“Meghan knows well that every project she joins will be scrutinized under a media microscope. Her role not only needs to be good but must be perfect,” stated Hollywood PR expert, Richard Jones. “An acting career is the fastest way to generate massive personal income, but it is also the easiest path to failure.”

Meghan Markle’s reappearance on screen is not just a personal story; it is evidence that even a “free” life in the US, backed by a Royal title, cannot overcome the harsh laws of money, forcing the Duchess to use her old profession as a financial lifeline.
