The entertainment world seems to be collectively rolling its eyes at Meghan Markle after what has been a rather uneventful year in Sussexland. So far, the Californian royals have not graced the public with a single book, TV show, or podcast in the past 11 months. With such a long pause, it is only obvious that experts are scrambling to decode their next moves in Hollywood, leading to a potential comeback. Earlier this year, a psychotherapist shared insights into some new strategies of the couple and what these could mean for Markle in particular.

According to this expert, Markle appears to be working on a long-term plan to take over Hollywood and establish her own version of royalty. This would be entirely separate from her current identity as a member of the British royal family and as Prince Harry’s wife.

In a discussion with Fox News, psychotherapist Dr. Robi Ludwig suggested that Meghan Markle is aiming to "transform herself into American royalty who is admired and powerful". This image would focus on her being "independent" of Prince Harry and standing on her own two feet. However, the expert also expressed some skepticism about how successful this plan might be. "The public has not always been receptive to many aspects of her character and personality,” Ludwig pointed out.

These comments came as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently decided to separate their professional lives. They are focusing on growing their individual brands rather than working as a united team. This decision raised many eyebrows, with some people even questioning whether their marriage is in trouble or heading toward a split. Yet, an expert has suggested a different reason for this.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s professional separation's reason

Over the past few months, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been seen attending events on their own. Experts say this is actually a calculated PR move. The couple’s joint brand has become increasingly controversial, and even toxic, making it difficult to maintain their shared image. To counter this, they appear to be focusing on building their individual careers and reputations.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams explained to GB News that the Sussexes are likely trying to “keep their profilenow that criticizing the royal family is no longer a viable option. For now, Prince Harry is dedicating his time to philanthropy, while Markle is pivoting toward entrepreneurial and business ventures. This shift allows the former actress to step into her own spotlight and further her goal of establishing herself as a kind of American royalty—independent of her husband and the British monarchy.
