It was announced in April that Meghan Markle had signed a new contract with William Morris Endeavor (WME) in a bid to repair her tattered image and secure lucrative new deals. <\/p>\n

However, six months later, there\u2019s still no sign of any projects in the pipeline and the Sussexes\u2019 reputation remains in ruins.<\/p>\n

Now sources reveal there has been some push and pull behind the scenes as to what direction the Duchess of Sussex should take.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeghan is signed to WME, Harry isn\u2019t. They are dealing with the couple\u2019s image, but Meghan is their only client,\u201d the source said. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere have been discussions had about pushing Meghan forward in her own light, but it\u2019s clear that she\u2019s only got to where she is today because of her association with Harry and the royal family.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Upon announcing their partnership with Meghan and the couple\u2019s Archewell content creation label in April, WME said they will be focusing on \u201cbuilding out Meghan\u2019s business ventures across multiple facets of the agency and its broader ecosystem\u201d, including film and television production, brand partnerships and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be no focus on acting or building Meghan\u2019s career around becoming a movie star,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone knows that\u2019s not the right path for a royal. She will be focusing more on charitable initiatives, speaking engagements, endorsements, and appearances. Think what the Royal Family does in England, but in the US and bigger.\u201d <\/p>\n

There have been a number of career guises put forward for Meghan in recent months with one report suggesting she could run for office.<\/p>\n

It was reported her team were building the foundations for a political career while another said Meghan would take the Angelina Jolie route and become a UN ambassador.<\/p>\n

Another reputable news outlet claimed Meghan was about to sign a lucrative deal with Dior \u2013 none of which has materialised.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would seem nobody is that interested in Meghan unless she comes with Harry,\u201d the source said. \u201cThe Royal Family is the reason why she\u2019s so well known. That\u2019s why it came as a big surprise to everyone that she burned so many bridges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meghan\u2019s agent Ari Emanuel and his team have been working hard to come up with the best way to market Meghan since she joined the agency.<\/p>\n

The team at WME have some very big names on their books from the likes of Adele to Ben Affleck and are hoping that magic will rub off on Meghan. <\/p>\n

\u201cAri looks after some very big names, so he knows what he\u2019s doing,\u201d the source said. \u201cThere have been projects that have come in which haven\u2019t been right for Meghan because it would mean she would be pulled away from Harry.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother project was shelved because it would have appeared out of character for Harry to be a part of it. That\u2019s the dilemma they\u2019re facing. It\u2019s not easy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
