Being Windsor is not lucrative: Meghan Markle wants the last name 'Spencer' to be the "incarnation of Diana"
Prince Harry's wife wants to further distance herself from the British royal family and "recast" herself as Lady Diana's successor. This would mean profits in the millions, an opportunity that she does not want to miss, especially after the breaking of the million-dollar contract with Spotify.
The Duchess of Sussex is sure that breaking her ties with the royal family will lead her to seal more juicy contracts. Thus, she "decided that her real goal in life was to be Diana" and "went to the extent of suggesting that they should give up the name 'Windsor' and take the surname 'Spencer,'" Tom Bower said.
The rebranding could see the Prince and Duchess of Sussex adopt the surname "Spencer", in a nod to Harry's late mother, Princess Diana. But it would also allow them to earn millions while their businesses are wrecked.
From Markle to Spencer, a billionaire facelift
Harry and Meghan signed deals with several brands following their royal exit in early 2020, including Netflix and Penguin Random House.
Rumors of the makeover that Meghan Markle is looking for to earn a living come a week after it became known that her million-dollar contract with the streaming giant Spotify is coming to an end by mutual consent.
The dukes have produced just one series under their Archewell Audio podcast label since signing the $20 million deal. That show topped the podcast charts for Spotify in several markets, with listeners flocking to her conversations with influential women.
But the two parties said in a joint statement that the deal is coming to an end: "Spotify and Archewell Audio have mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together," the statement said. A move that could see Meghan and Harry lose $10 million.
Days later, Spotify executive Bill Simmons called the Duke and Duchess of Sussex "scammers" because they did not meet the promised number of episodes. "Got to get drunk one night and tell the story of the Zoom [video] call I had with Harry to try and help him with a podcast idea. Fuck scammers!"
Since she stepped down from her royal duties, the couple have sought to earn money through media ventures.
According to the British press, Meghan is ready to weather the storm caused by the breakup with Spotify and a close source claimed that she could soon be "worth hundreds of millions of dollars" if she accepts the deals presented to her.
Brand and culture expert Nick Ede told MailOnline today that "Meghan could become one of the most influential people in the world" and "could command millions" if she becomes the new face of 'Dior', which has approached the Duchess with a juicy offer.
The expert added that if the deal goes ahead, it could even compete with the income that Kim Kardashian generated over the years through her partnership with "Dolce & Gabanna," which saw her pay $47 million simply for a design. of that brand on their wedding day.
As part of her makeover, Meghan Markle befriended successful marketer Victoria Jackson, whose husband, Bill Guthy, owns the marketing firm Guthy-Renker, who has represented Cindy Crawford and Jenifer Lopez to make their girls famous. respective brands and earn millions.

Another of the controversial duchess' projects, who is the most unpopular person in the royal family, would be to revamp her wellness and lifestyle blog "The Tig" to rival Gwyneth Paltrow's website, which is reportedly It is worth nearly $260 million.
With all this, Meghan could become "one of the most influential people in the world," Ede estimated. “She is already one of the most talked about and photographed people around, so maximizing her earnings and aligning with these brands is a very lucrative step.”
She recalled the example of the Kardashian family and its relationship with "Dolce & Gabbana", which meant hundreds of millions of profits. If she seals a deal with “Dior”, Meghan will share an image with stars like Johnny Depp, Rihanna and Jenifer Lawrence
“With a brand like Dior affiliated with it, they could spend millions on it and make millions too. So Meghan could make millions being a face of Dior and she could make hundreds of thousands per post,” Ede said.
The Duchess' makeover is being run by the new agency William Morris Endeavor (WME), which is associated with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Oprah Winfrey, one of Meghan's closest friends.
Harry, the youngest son of King Charles III, married the former television actress in 2018 in a burst of positive coverage that seemed to help bring the traditional monarchy into the 21st century. But relations between the couple and the royal family soured in the years that followed, with accusations that Markle was the target of racism.
