The emergence of an Instagram account with the handle @meghan set tongues wagging last week. Now royal expert and historian Tessa Dunlop has told new the Duchess of Sussex is likely to cement her Hollywood status with a new career move.
And the biggest twist? She won't be relying on her marriage with Prince Harry to fuel her success.
"Meghan already had star power in her own right before she met Harry," said Tessa. "She made her way in Hollywood and landed a job on Suits - that in itself is so impressive. So she's already proven that she doesn't need Harry to be successful.
"Together, yes, they're greater than the sum of their parts, and yes, the royal connection has taken her platform to a level that she's never experienced before. But we can't say it's all just because she married a prince."
Since Meghan, 42, and Harry, 38, stepped down from royal duties in 2020-ditching their joint account @sussexroyal-the mum-of-two has made several attempts to regain public favour.
But the couple's 2020 interview with chat show host Oprah Winfrey led to a backlash when they made accusations about the monarchy and described discussions with unnamed family members - while Meghan was expecting son Archie - about their baby's skin tone.
The royals were reportedly angered by revelations in the couple's Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan. In June, the duchess' Archetypes podcast was axed, less than three years after signing a $25 million Spotify deal.
However, Tessa claimed that the global fascination with Meghan's life, as well as her relatability, will work in her favour as she goes it alone a second time around.
