A WME executive has come under fire for mocking Meghan Markle‘s decision to partner with Hollywood agency Harry Emanuel as she delves into philanthropic ventures in the United States.
Sources reveal that a prominent WME figure made a sarcastic comment about the Duchess of Sussex, suggesting a lack of sincerity in her recent career moves.
The incident reportedly took place at an upscale Brentwood Diner, where an individual overheard the WME executive making a seemingly condescending remark about Meghan Markle’s approach.
The executive’s tone, whether partly sarcastic or not, implied a level of skepticism towards the motives behind her association with the agency.
Despite Meghan’s background and connections within the royal family, comedian Howie Mandel, a former friend, has emphasized that she will not be exempt from standard industry practices.
Mandel highlighted that Meghan would be required to pay a 10% commission on all deals facilitated by WME, underscoring the business-oriented nature of the entertainment industry.
Harry Emanuel, representing WME, shed light on the agency’s typical protocol of charging charities and non-profits for their services, indicating that Meghan Markle would be subject to the same expectations.
This includes her recent selection of the 1972 tennis pinky ring from Schwan for an event in Germany, symbolizing women in sports according to the jeweler.
The conversation also delved into the controversial Lorraine Schwartz pinky ring worn by Meghan during an Invictus Games speech, sparking questions about its origins.
Initially linked to a mystery donor in the Middle East, Meghan and Prince Harry later clarified the misunderstanding, leaving room for speculation regarding the true story behind the diamonds in the ring.
Amidst discussions about her jewelry choices, Meghan Markle’s transition to a Hollywood career has been met with scrutiny, particularly regarding her perceived behavior at the Invictus Games.
Reports suggest that her late arrival at the event in Dusseldorf, following Prince Harry’s opening ceremony, raised eyebrows and led to accusations of attention-seeking behavior.
Body language expert Jesus Enrique Rojas weighed in on the situation, noting Meghan’s actions as potentially overshadowing the true spirit of the Invictus Games.
Rojas expressed concern that Meghan’s presence may have diverted attention from the event’s participants and core message, highlighting a missed opportunity to showcase the veterans’ achievements.
Speculation surrounding Prince Harry’s reaction to his wife’s actions further fueled the controversy, with reports suggesting that he distanced himself from Meghan during his closing speech at the Games.
The Duke of Sussex’s alleged displeasure at being overshadowed by Meghan adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing discussions surrounding the couple’s public appearances and interactions.
As Meghan Markle navigates her evolving role in the entertainment industry and philanthropic endeavors, the scrutiny over her choices and actions continues to intensify.
