Not only Meghan Markle but the deal will also be giving a boost to Prince Harry’s content creation label. Partnered with Archewell, WME will take over the Film representation and television products side of things.

Will Meghan Markle return to screen?

In fact, barring the acting alone, the deal will prioritize all other business-building aspects for the Sussexes. Following the report, the main theme of every project sponsored will forever focus on her advocacy for women.
