Ari Emanuel, executive chairman of WME Group, confirmed that he and Meghan Markle ended their professional relationship last year, and his comment about it is getting serious side-eye. Asked about her career by The Times of London, Emanuel said,“Here’s the great thing: I don’t have to think about that anymore.”Meghan signed with WME in April 2023, and reports say Emanuel and another agent stepped off her account within months, though the agency still represents her and Archewell Productions.
The timing is what makes this interesting. Meghan is reportedly in early talks for season three of Guy Ritchie’s hit Netflix series The Gentlemen, which would mark a major acting return after her Suits days. She and Prince Harry also moved back to Britain in August 2026, putting them back in the middle of royal-family headlines and paparazzi attention, including a recent incident near their children’s school.
So is this a comeback era or a Hollywood farewell? Emanuel’s quote suggests one thing, but the rumored Netflix talks suggest another. Either way, Meghan Markle stays one of the most talked-about names in entertainment, and the business side of her career is suddenly very public.
What do you think, should Meghan go all-in on acting again, or focus on her production work? Sound off in the comments.
