Meghan Markle has a “plan to win over Hollywood” as Prince Harry ventures abroad on solo trips

Meghan Markle walked the ramp for a gala in Los Angeles this week, while Prince Harry visited the African nation of Lesotho as part of his charity efforts. The Duchess of Sussex showed off a “bold and confident” new look as she attended the Children's Hospital event in LA – a move some royal watchers are calling part of a “master plan” to win over Hollywood. The development came amid reports that her husband is looking to expand his presence as a global philanthropist.

The 42-year-old former actress again wore a deep red Carolina Herrera dress that she previously wore in 2021 when she attended the “Salute to Freedom” gala honoring veterans in New York City with Prince Harry.

“Meghan's ultimate goal appears to be to make herself relevant and transform herself into an admired and powerful American queen independent of her husband. “Wearing red is a strong boss lady color,” said psychotherapist Dr. Robi Ludwig told Fox News Digital.

Markle has focused heavily on entrepreneurial ventures and commercial ventures in recent months as Prince Harry seeks to “establish himself as a serious figure on the global stage.”

“The Duke and Duchess have now made their breakthrough as individuals – not just as a couple. “The Duke appears to be focused on his patronage work and the Duchess is focused on her entrepreneurial journey,” a royal insider recently told People magazine.

A friend of the couple also told the publication that a “two-pronged approach” has developed for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in recent months.

“I left Suits right after the 100th episode in 2018. I didn't think I would ever be in the entertainment industry again. But the entire culture has changed; Streamers have changed things,” The Mirror quoted her as saying.

However, she has continued to work behind the scenes and is currently preparing for the launch of a new Netflix show. Markle is also working on her upcoming lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard.
