Meghan Markle Pushing To Become The Next Martha Stewart

The Sussex couple have got a year to show Netflix that they deserve to retain their multi-million dollar contract.

Luckily, they’re not thinking of slowing down or giving up – contract or no. Meghan Markle reportedly has a grand idea and it’s likely to hold a torch to America’s biggest lifestyle queens – Martha Stewart and Joanna Gaines.

Here’s what she’s got planned for fans.

Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Not Looking Forward To Renewing Lucrative Netflix Deal

In 2020, the Sussex couple inked a deal with Netflix that will run through 2025.

The deal would allow the couple to create entertainment programs via the creative arm of their endeavor Archewell Productions.

With the deal set to expire soon, sources say it’s unlikely Netflix would want to renew it.

While they were on shaky ground during the first three years – only completing a docuseries and an Invictus documentary that scratched no ice – the couple have announced multiple projects currently in the works.

One of those include the screen adaptation of Carley Fortune’s bestselling book, “Meet Me By the Lake.”

Meghan Markle Aiming To Build A Lifestyle Empire Following Netflix Run

However, even if Netflix doesn’t renew the contract when it has run its course, Meghan has got plans to follow in the footsteps of famous Hollywood lifestyle queens.

“From what I understand, I think Meghan will take on Martha Stewart, Gwyneth Paltrow and Ina Garten and play them at their own game,” said one industry insider.

The source revealed that she’s been getting advise on how to brand herself in that direction from the likes of Claire Waight Keller, the former Givenchy designer who designed her wedding dress and who recently signed a big deal with Uniqlo, and Victoria Jackson, a QVC star and makeup entrepreneur.

In fact, Meghan lunched with Claire at Beverly Hill power spot Ciccone on Thursday.

If Meghan finally decides to go down this path, she’s been advised to aim for “natural” and “relatable.”

Another industry source, speaking on Meghan creating her own lifestyle empire, said: “She would have to be relatable and natural, the way Drew Barrymore is, it can’t feel contrived or like she’s acting.”

At the moment, there’s been no talks whether a relaunch of her lifestyle blog The Tig will be a part of creating her lifestyle empire.
