Behind the scenes, Markle continues to develop her rebranded lifestyle company, As Ever, which succeeded her short-lived American Riviera Orchard venture earlier this year.
One associate said: “Meghan hasn’t abandoned her dream for As Ever yet – she sees it as her own version of Goop. But she’s aware it needs major financial backing, and she can’t keep dipping into personal savings forever.”
According to the insider, acting could offer her a simpler way to generate income. The source explained: “With acting, the paycheck comes no matter what. That’s the attraction for Meghan – she delivers her role and still gets paid, even if the show underperforms. Studios know her name sells, and they’re lining up with offers.”
Markle has also been linked to a potential memoir, though friends say Harry is wary of further controversy while King Charles, 76, continues his cancer treatment.
The insider said: “That’s why acting looks so appealing right today. It offers stability without dragging her back into royal drama in the UK.”
