Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's next career move 'reflects how far their brand has fallen'

Schofield added that Meghan "desperately needs" the new bond with the A-lister.

The royal commentator said: "It's a great reflection of how their brand has fallen, which I thought was really interesting.

"But of course, for Meghan, it's going to be a total win because Kim Kardashian is one of the most powerful women in Hollywood.

"She desperately needs that friendship."

It comes after an insider claimed Kim Kardashian's mother Kris Jenner is trying to bring Meghan and Harry "into the mainstream".

The source said: "It's no coincidence that the Kardashians all move in the same circles as Meghan's new circle.

"It's just a slam dunk for the two families to team up, but Kris doesn't want to push too aggressively, too soon."

They added: "Even if it's just a cameo, that's a huge win for Kris, the business side is now in motion and looking very lucrative."

In August, Meghan Markle's mother was pictured alongside Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian at the This Is About Humanity's fifth annual soiree.

The trio were snapped posing together on the red carpet.
