When Meghan Markle initially signed with the prestigious William Morris Endeavor agency in 2020, expectations were sky high. As a former actress with royal connections through her marriage to Prince Harry, Megan seemed primed to achieve superstar status in the glittering world of Hollywood. However, fast forward a year and half later, and it's clear her career has not followed the expected trajectory.
Recent reports indicate that Meghan may have either left or been dropped by WME. Having struggled to get big projects off the ground through the agency, she has reportedly returned to her long-time PR firm Sunshine Sachs for representation. It has been confirmed that K. Thomas Morgan, a senior partner at Sunshine Sachs, was in the car with Meghan and Harry on their way to Tyler Perry's home in California after they stepped back from royal duties in January 2020.

While WME undoubtedly understood the allure of Meghan's royal connections when they signed her, they are now struggling to justify that decision. An astonishing 90% of the inquiries coming through WME are focused on Prince Harry, not Meghan. Even Harry's appearance on Jimmy Fallon generated more buzz about him than about his wife. It seems the public and Hollywood remain fascinated with Harry but indifferent to Meghan's presence.
Critics have been quick to blame Meghan for not capitalizing on opportunities that have come her way. Her failure to get traction for projects like the much hyped but still unrealized American Riviera orchard venture has raised eyebrows. There is a growing perception that she is more interested in basking in the spotlight of fame than putting in the hard work to achieve it.

Even her appearance at the recent Emmy Awards, where she was clearly hoping to be photographed with A-list stars, backfired as WME clients were reportedly hesitant to be associated with her downward trajectory. A troubling disconnect appears to be emerging between Meghan's lofty ambitions and the reality of her situation, which some see as that of a minor actress from a mediocre soap opera clinging to past celebrity.
An insider hinted that no one dares share concerns about her floundering career directly with Meghan herself. She remains seemingly unaware of the decreasing offers and buzz emanating out of WME. While she may believe she is thriving behind the scenes, the reality is that very few inquiries about projects for her are coming in. This paints a rather unflattering picture of her current status in Tinseltown.

It's evident that she struggles to find her footing in an industry growing indifferent to her presence alone. In contrast, the idea of her supporting Harry's rising star seems a far more winning combination. However, sources suggest Meghan is reluctant to embrace this secondary role, perhaps feeling it beneath her own lofty ambitions.

This contradiction—between how Meghan sees herself and how she is perceived externally—has become fascinating to observe as her journey with WME serves as a cautionary tale. Time is running out for her to turn things around. But will she reinvent herself or continue on a path that may end her Hollywood chapter prematurely? Only time will tell if she can transition her dreams into reality.
