Story summary

In an interview with the Sunday Times in April 2025, Meghan Markle's former agent from WME Group stated he no longer needed to worry about her career direction. This comes less than two years after Markle signed with WME in April 2023. Multiple sources told Page Six that WME had dropped Markle by February 2025, though the agency denied this at the time. Despite this denial, it was reported that Markle hadn't met with Emanuel, the executive chairman of WME Group, since January 2024. However, she reportedly continued to meet with her day-to-day agents. The couple, along with their two children Prince Archie (7) and Princess Lilibet (5), moved back to the UK in recent years, and they still have several ways to earn substantial income through media and production ventures.

🔮 The “Spare” author and the As Ever founder moved into the media mogul’s hilltop eight-bedroom, 12-bathroom, Tuscan-style villa in the swanky gated Beverly Ridge Estates in Beverly Hills, Page Six confirmed in May 2020.
🔮 “It would either be all or nothing,” she said of the occasion, which she noted is indefinitely on hold until after the year is over.
🔮 They split in May after more than a year together, with a source telling Page Six at the time, “There have been problems throughout their relationship and things are not good between them at all.
🔮 They also noted in the caption that In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Johns Hopkins Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center Fund and Alzheimer’s Foundation of America Caregiver Resources.
🔮 She was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in 2014, which, according to the Mayo Clinic, is a degenerative disease that occurs when lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred, making it hard to breathe.

Narrative

A second source told us, “Through the fact that Archewell is now repped by WME it bolsters Harry and Meghan’s bid to become power players in the production arena.” Markle, 45, and Harry, 42, of course, have since moved back to the UK with their two children — Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5. The couple still has multiple avenues to rake in serious cash.
