But playing herself in a cameo for the upcoming Amazon film, which also stars Brie Larson, could be her most challenging role yet – because perhaps Meghan doesn’t even know who she is anymore, reports the Express.
This isn’t intended to belittle her. After all, she’s had a tumultuous life. The romantic Prince Charming moments are beyond belief – the awkward Oprah Winfrey incidents are ones you wouldn’t wish for.
Neither Meghan nor Harry had typical childhoods. Harry’s was under public scrutiny, marred by divorce and then the traumatic death of Diana, and the public’s desire to partake in and witness his grief has understandably left him bitter.
Despite his years of privilege, he should have been cushioned from such experiences – a lifestyle that most of us who face tragedy or grief don’t have; we have no choice but to carry on. Meghan’s parents, Thomas and Doria, separated when she was two, and although she was a daddy’s girl, she grew closer to her mother and has been caught up in a feud with her paternal half-siblings.
Her half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., labels her as “a phony” while her half-sister, Samantha, describes her as a “shallow social climber” whose behavior is not “befitting of a Royal Family member”. Ouch! Thomas Snr, her father, recently expressed that he will “always love” his estranged daughter, despite “not liking some of the things she has done.”
It’s quite a messy situation. Her first marriage to US film producer Trevor Engelson in 2011 ended in divorce in 2014, and in 2016, she allegedly connected with Prince Harry on Instagram – before their star-studded, sentimental Royal wedding in 2018. What was Engelson’s reported reaction when he learned his ambitious ex-wife was dating a prince? “Oh, she’ll close” – implying she would ‘seal the deal’ and snag her Royal.
From being a model on the US version of Deal or No Deal to starring in the US legal drama Suits, marrying a prince, and whisking him away to a celebrity-filled life in California, one could say she has it all. However, lamenting their lack of security and privacy in the UK as a significant reason for moving to the film, social media, and TV capital of the world, Meghan and Harry are a once-refreshing spring that’s simply dried up.
They contributed to the creation of the book Finding Freedom and then participated in the 85-minute 2021 ‘Oprah with Meghan and Harry’ interview, where they dropped the racial bombshell that an unnamed Royal humorously asked Harry if Archie could end up with ginger afro hair.
Buckingham Palace responded by saying “recollections may vary”. Following this, the couple starred in their exhaustive six-part Netflix show Harry and Meghan. It featured black historian David Olusoga, black studies academic Kehinde Andrews, and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho.
If you were looking for more, it was followed by Harry’s 2023 tell-all book Spare, which included the harsh claim that Queen Camilla “sacrificed” him “on her personal PR altar”.
Now their deals are dwindling as they peel away roles like layers of an onion – race victims, media victims, family conflict victims, privacy victims, and establishment victims – all Harry and Meghan have left is themselves. Being a perpetual victim is simply dull. US talk show hosts who once fawned over them are now publicly ridiculing them. A South Park comedy special depicted animated versions of the Sussexes embarking on a global ‘privacy tour’.
So Meghan is left having to portray Meghan, leading to the question: “Which one?”.
