Meghan Markle has been warned against taking a "huge risk" that could torpedo her career.

Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield outlined that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex look to be working on individual projects much more frequently than in recent years.


Prince Harry's Heart of Invictus documentary was released on Wednesday and the Duke of Sussex was listed as an executive producer but Meghan Markle was not.

The Duchess of Sussex's appearances throughout the five-episode series were very limited.

Schofield said: "The Heart of Invictus trailer was released and we discovered that Prince Harry was the executive producer - without Meghan.

"I certainly think that Meghan has counsel in her ear telling her that she is better off without Prince Harry and the royal drama, professionally, but Meghan was a working actor before Harry.

"She was not a celebrity or a household name."

Schofield added that Meghan Markle would be taking a "huge risk" by distancing her professional career from Prince Harry.

The royal commentator told Fox: "We are less likely to criticise him [Harry] when he is putting all his effort into something positive that will help others.

"I think she [Meghan] takes a huge risk distancing herself from the individual who gave her the platform that she has today.

"As a former PR professional, I would not advise it."

It comes as Meghan Markle is planning to "sink her teeth" into a new project.

Schofield told GB News that there is demand from fans for Meghan to act again has spiked as a result of Netflix streaming Suits in the US.

The Duchess of Sussex's most prominent acting success came in portraying Rachel Zane in the legal soap Suits.

Schofield told GB News: "According to Life & Style magazine Meghan Markle thinks there’s an Oscar in her future.

"According to a source, Suits is such a hit, these re-runs you’re seeing on Netflix and they are like forcing it down your throat right now.

"Meghan is being told there is a demand for her from fans and that she should act again.

"They say she’s excited and she really wants to sink her teeth into a dramatic film role and she thinks an Oscar will be in her future."
