Before Meghan Markle became the Duchess of Sussex, she was a star in the popular TV series, Suits. Since her marriage, the former actress has been occupied with her royal responsibilities, but it seems those days are over. Now that the couple has broken away from their royal status, it has given them more time to explore things that they love. What began with a failed Spotify deal has now given viewers one amazing sporting event and more plans for the Duchess’ Netflix debut.

Meghan Markle seems to be on a quest to make it back into acting. The actress even signed with the William Morris Endeavor agency to help promote her business, Archewell Productions. But while the actress continues to put her best foot forward, Howie Mandel opened up about Markle’s partnership with the agency.

It was recently revealed that Howie Mandel, a judge from America’s Got Talent, had a few things to say about the Suits star signing with his current agency, WME. Mandel also worked beside Meghan Markle during her time on Deal Or No Deal. According to reports from Mirror UK, during the conversation, the comedian said that he did not know what WME brought “to the table for someone like Meghan.”

He went on to say the agency always took “ten percent off the table for all of us” and that the Duchess would be treated no differently than the rest. While it may come as a surprise that a non-profit organization could be charged fees, Mandel revealed that it was a standard practice in the United States.
