Meghan Markle Courts Amazon‘s Jeff Bezos Amidst Netflix Project Uncertainty
Los Angeles, CA – Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is reportedly making strategic moves within the entertainment industry, with sources indicating she is actively seeking a stronger relationship with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. This comes as her projects with Netflix face scrutiny and a Christmas special, With Love, Meghan, is slated for release next month.
The former actress,who rose to prominence on the legal drama Suits,recently returned to the screen with a cameo role in the upcoming Amazon MGM Studio film Close Personal Friends,playing herself. Her return to acting follows her departure from Suits in 2017 upon her engagement to Prince Harry.
Hollywood insiders suggest Markle’s interest in Amazon extends beyond the current film project. “people find it curious that Meghan seems to be professionally wooing Jeff Bezos but, to be brutally frank, who can blame her?” a source from rival studio Disney told The Mail on Sunday. “He has all the money in the world and is one of the few people who can afford to bankroll any future projects of hers.”
Markle’s agency, William Morris Endeavor (WME), confirms she is taking a proactive approach to her career. “The duchess is a smart businesswoman and very much in control of her career and where she sees it going,” a WME source stated. “Of course, people are talking about her connection to Jeff Bezos and the fact she’s chosen to star in an amazon film, but there are very few big players in town and she has two of them – Netflix and Amazon. She’s a canny businesswoman. Underestimate her at your peril.”
The move to cultivate a relationship with Bezos suggests Markle is diversifying her entertainment portfolio, possibly hedging against uncertainty surrounding her ongoing partnership with Netflix. While details of her projects with the streaming giant remain limited, industry observers are watching closely to see how her strategic positioning with Amazon will unfold.
