Meghan Markle has "burnt so many bridges" during her public feud with the Royal Family, a source has claimed.

The Duchess of Sussex signed a contract with the William Morris Endeavor Entertainment agency (WME) in April, in a bid to repair her image.


However, Prince Harry is not signed to the entertainment agency, which a source claimed was a "surprise" given that Meghan is only known to the world through her links to the Royal Family.

The source said: “It would seem nobody is that interested in Meghan unless she comes with Harry.

“The Royal Family is the reason why she’s so well known.

"That’s why it came as a big surprise to everyone that she burned so many bridges.”

Since stepping down as working royals in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have launched many public attacks on the royals.

In 2021, they sat down for a joint interview with Oprah Winfrey, where Meghan revealed an unnamed member of the Royal Family shared “concerns and conversations about how dark [Prince Archie's] skin might be when he was born”.

Two years later, Prince Harry released his memoir Spare in January 2023.

In the book, the duke opened up about a physical fight with his brother Prince William, resulting in his necklace being broken.

The Sussexes also starred in their own Netflix documentary, where they spoke in-depth about the criticism they received as working members of the Royal Family.

Since signing with WME in April, Meghan has not produced any projects for the talent agency.

The source continued: "Meghan is signed to WME, Harry isn’t.

"They are dealing with the couple’s image, but Meghan is their only client.

"There have been discussions had about pushing Meghan forward in her own light, but it’s clear that she’s only got to where she is today because of her association with Harry and the Royal Family," they told OK!.

The source claimed that whatever projects Meghan ensues, she will respect her image as a former working royal.

Meghan will 'focus more on charitable initiatives'

“There will be no focus on acting or building Meghan’s career around becoming a movie star,” they added.

“Everyone knows that’s not the right path for a royal.

"She will be focusing more on charitable initiatives, speaking engagements, endorsements, and appearances.

"Think what the Royal Family does in England, but in the US and bigger.”
