The Duke and Duchess of Sussex may make a comeback to the entertainment industry soon. Though, not as actors as one would expect, but as executive producers. According to the reports that emerged in the last couple of weeks, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are contacting a string of production houses - with an idea for a TV show based on subjects of the Sussexes’ interest: racial justice and women empowerment.
Apparently, the royal pair is getting further with the plan. As the likelihood of the pair starring as actors in movies is getting slimmer and slimmer, they have expressed their intentions to work as joint producers on the project.
Since their move to the US, both the Sussexes have worked in a project each. Meghan did the voiceover for the popular 2020 Disney Plus documentary titled Elephant. On the other side, Prince Harry made his big-screen debut with the Netflix documentary Phoenix Rising which is based on Paralympic Games.
In addition to that, the Duke is also collaborating with Oprah Winfrey on a documentary about mental health which is set to air on Apple TV.
According to reports, the royal pair is counting on the entertainment industry to make good fortune and be financially independent. Based on all the details floating around, royal experts are expecting the Sussexes to announce a project intermittently.
Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers insisted that the Sussexes would be more behind the camera than on the camera.
Speaking of what the royal pair may be going for, Myers said, “They are going to be doing stuff like this in terms of getting out, pitching projects to Hollywood bigwigs. I think she’s [Meghan] now gone beyond that and that she will want to do some level of producing, executive producing on big projects, whether that is with Netflix or Oprah ‒ I mean Oprah has her own production company, so maybe they’ll get to do more shows like Harry’s doing with Oprah and Apple TV. So I think that’s the way they’ll end up doing it.”
Some Hollywood project is cooking and the royal pair is most likely to be the part of that. What the royal and entertainment fans are eager to know is when the contributors or the royal pair is going to unveil the surprise.
The project is supposed to be relevant to the ongoing situations in the US, so it may be around sooner that one expects.
