When the Duke and Duchess of Sussex put down permanent roots in California last year, Meghan thought it was her time to shine. After all, she had left Los Angeles a struggling actress in 2011, packing up her life and moving to Toronto to film Suits, a TV series on a struggling cable network, knowing it was probably her last chance to make a big name for herself in the industry.
THE BIG COMEBACK
Nine years later, she returned to Hollywood as a duchess married to an English prince, believing that thanks to her new royal status through her 2018 marriage, the showbiz industry would be her oyster.
Insiders say the 40-year-old had convinced herself that she would have an Academy Award on her mantle “within five years”, but what she didn’t bank on was her husband becoming an overnight success, overshadowing her within a year!
The Me You Can’t See documentary that Harry co-produced with Oprah Winfrey for Apple TV, along with a well-received stint on The Late Late Show With James Corden, has “made waves among industry executives”, according to our insider. Now, there are apparently “offers flooding in for Harry at a rate of 10 to one compared with his wife”.
STAR POWER
Meghan – who is rumoured to be taking a 15 per cent cut from Harry’s earnings as his “manager” – has noticed, and she’s not happy about being eclipsed by her 36-year-old husband, who has little on-camera experience.
