Meghan Markle<\/strong> is reportedly planning to position herself as a \u201crent-a-royal\u201d for elite gatherings and events in the United States. The former \u201cSuits\u201d actor relocated to California and later ventured into various projects alongside her husband, Prince Harry<\/strong>. However, several projects were eventually scrapped, including some of her deals with Netflix. Now, sources claim that the former \u201cSuits\u201d star is open to building a \u201crent-a-royal\u201d image in the US.<\/p>\n Meghan Markle<\/a> is allegedly planning to position herself as a \u201crent-a-royal\u201d for upscale events. This includes exclusive private functions and major charity galas in the US. A source told Radar Online<\/a> that hosts would see Markle as valuable because inviting her brings the status and connection attached to the British monarchy, which carries significant prestige, especially among elite Americans.<\/p>\n The source added that, for the former actor, this is a way to build connections while expanding her network and public image. However, critics reportedly disagree and believe that the line between charitable work and celebrity influence has \u201cbecome increasingly blurred.\u201d<\/p>\n Apparently, Prince Harry<\/a> and Markle maintain an expensive California lifestyle that requires regular deals and partnerships to sustain. However, the source believes that the plan to build a \u201crent-a-royal\u201d image is \u201clike scraping the bottom of the barrel.\u201d<\/p>\n The Sussexes reportedly spend huge amounts of money each year to maintain their security, staff, travel, and high-profile public image. The estimated cost reaches nearly $6 million annually.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in royal circles, it is reportedly frustrating for many that although the Sussexes stepped down from royal working duties, they continue to benefit from their titles. The source added, \u201cThe fear within royal circles is that the Sussex brand is gradually evolving into something much closer to celebrity aristocracy for hire \u2013 where the prestige of royalty is selectively used to open doors, secure influence and maintain relevance in elite social and business environments.\u201d<\/p>\n The insider further claimed, \u201cIt seems Meghan is never done with plans to cash in on her Sussex title.\u201d<\/p>\n Originally reported by Chhavi Puri on <\/em>Reality Tea<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Meghan Markle Building a \u2018Rent-a-Royal\u2019 Image in US \u2014 Source<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.aol.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Meghan Markle is reportedly planning to position herself as a \u201crent-a-royal\u201d for elite gatherings and events in the United States.
