00:00 On to the Sussexes, apparently Meghan is planning a comeback without the support of Harry.
00:06 Meghan Markle has made it clear with her new career move that she can succeed on her own
00:11 without needing Prince Harry at all, according to one royal expert.
00:17 Meghan Markle, who is currently 42 years old at the time of this recording, used to be
00:22 an actress and became famous for her role as Rachel Zane in the legal TV show drama
00:27 Suits.
00:31 She also appeared in Hollywood films and other TV shows.
00:40 She had originally deleted her personal social media accounts when she joined the royal family
00:45 and she and Harry had a joint royal account, which they also stopped using after leaving
00:51 the royal family in the year 2020.
01:02 There are some rumors that Meghan Markle might return to social media as an Instagram influencer
01:08 and it's estimated that given her popularity, she could earn up to $1 million per sponsored
01:14 Instagram post.
01:22 But when it comes to that, I think that there currently is still too much negative press
01:26 associated with Meghan Markle, so she most likely would find it very hard to partner
01:32 up with brands.
01:34 But once this all dies down, this could very well be the case.
01:39 But it's not just me saying this, there is a royal historian named Tessa Dunlop and
01:44 she's pretty much saying the same thing.
01:46 She has praised Meghan's independence success, saying that her star power is actually pretty
01:51 impressive.
01:52 But I do disagree with some of what Tessa Dunlop had to say, but I also agree with some
01:57 things.
01:58 But I'll share my two cents in a bit.
02:00 For now, Tessa Dunlop, what she had to say was actually in response to people that claim
02:06 that Meghan is only famous because she married Harry.
02:10 She stated that Meghan had already established herself in Hollywood before ever even meeting
02:16 him.
02:17 And this is what she went on to say, and I quote, "Together, yes, they're greater
02:20 than the sum of their parts.
02:22 And yes, the royal connection has taken her platform to a level that she's never experienced
02:27 before.
02:28 But we can't say it's all just because she married a prince."
02:31 Meghan is apparently planning to return to Instagram with the handle @Meghan.
02:36 And an account with this username was created, although it currently has no bio information
02:42 or anything like that.
02:44 But sources believe that it was in fact Meghan Markle that created this account.
02:47 And first name handles like this are typically reserved for celebrities and verified accounts,
02:52 making it likely that this account actually does belong to Meghan.
02:56 Tessa also says that Meghan should take her time with her social media comeback to showcase
03:02 her true self and make it a big success.
03:14 She also believes that Meghan is relatable to many people, which could help her gain
03:19 a significant following on social media again.
03:22 And Meghan's choice of a one-name Instagram name, like Madonna or Beyonce, she says is
03:27 a statement to her influence.
03:31 Tessa Dunlop also went on to suggest that Meghan was likely to face pressure from her
03:36 fans as she returns to Instagram, and that she would need to show a genuine side of herself.
03:43 Fans might expect more personal glimpses into Meghan's life.
03:47 And Tessa also points out that Meghan will have to demonstrate that she in fact still
03:53 has her carefree pre-royal spirit, while being mindful of her unique position and platform
04:00 as the Duchess of Sussex.
04:02 And you know, there is no doubt in my mind that Meghan will have fans regardless of what
04:07 she does career-wise.
04:08 However, and I've said this before, she's got to distance herself as far as possible
04:14 from all that royal drama.
04:16 This can't be done 100% if she keeps the title of Duchess of Sussex.
04:22 Like for real.
04:23 Because at this point, it doesn't even mean anything anymore.
04:26 She's not doing any royal duties, so what are you doing?
04:30 Duchess of Sussex?
04:32 It's just an empty title now.
04:33 Her identity as Meghan Markle on her own would still be very popular, and I think she'll
04:39 be successful as an influencer, actor, or whatever she chooses to do.
04:44 But using a royal title that doesn't mean anything anymore?
04:47 It's like literally rubbing people the wrong way, and it makes her seem fake and very unrelatable.
04:54 So this is where I disagree with what Tessa Dunlop was saying.
04:57 Like Meghan won't have that real appeal, so to speak, on the scale that she is thinking
05:03 about if she holds on to the royal title.
05:07 Just be Meghan Markle.
05:08 That is it.
05:09 Anyways guys, that's just me sharing my two cents on this.
05:13 I want to know from you guys now.
05:15 What are your thoughts about this?
05:16 Do you agree with me?
05:17 Do you disagree with me?
05:18 What about what Tessa Dunlop says?
05:20 Do you agree with that?
05:21 I'm curious to know.
05:23 Let me know your thoughts down below, and thanks for hanging out with me here on another
05:26 video on FTD News.
05:27 I'll catch you guys in the next one.
