UPDATE: Meghan Markle is strategically leveraging her connections in Hollywood, with royal experts suggesting a potential professional alliance with Jeff Bezos following her appearance at Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday party. Held at Bezos’s lavish $165 million estate in Beverly Hills, this star-studded event could mark a significant turn in Markle’s career as she returns to acting.
Just days before the party on October 14, 2023, Markle announced her new film project, Close Personal Friends, produced by Amazon MGM Studios. This will be her first acting role in eight years, following her departure from Suits in 2016. The timing of her return coinciding with such a high-profile gathering has raised eyebrows in both royal and entertainment circles.
Attending the exclusive soirée were A-listers like Oprah Winfrey, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Paris Hilton, and members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan. Markle’s presence at Bezos’s estate is seen as a calculated move to gain support from one of the world’s wealthiest individuals, rated as the third richest man globally.
“Meghan greatly valued an invitation to Amazon founder and billionaire Jeff Bezos’s Hollywood mansion on Saturday,” said royal biographer Richard Fitzwilliams. “She has a clear interest in getting support from a tycoon like Bezos, and she is aiming high.”
In Close Personal Friends, Markle is set to appear as herself alongside actors such as Lily Collins, Brie Larson, and Jack Quaid. A source close to the production described the film as “a massive moment” for the Duchess, indicating a resurgence in her career.
Fitzwilliams emphasized the significance of this project for the Sussexes. “This film could open major doors for Meghan and Harry, potentially leading them to invitations for next year’s Oscar ceremony,” he stated, highlighting the potential boost in their public profile.
As the world watches, Meghan Markle’s maneuvering within Hollywood raises questions about her future and the impact of her connections. With a film that aligns with her aspirations and a powerful ally in Bezos, the Duchess of Sussex is poised to make a significant comeback.
