Meghan Markle ‘might be dropped’ by talent agency over Omid Scobie’s bombshell book: expert
Meghan Markle might soon be dropped by her talent agency as the furor over Omid Scobie’s new book continues to unfold, a royal expert has warned.
The Duchess of Sussex signed with William Morris Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel and his team in April and has recently teased several “exciting” projects she’s got in the works.
But it seems as though her return to Tinseltown might be short-lived after all, as royal expert Angela Levin claims that WME is “horrified” about what repercussions Scobie’s book could have for the Sussexes’ rebrand.
“They said they were ‘horrified,’ that can’t just be about the two names that were mentioned, it must be about their client, Meghan,” Levin told GB News.
“It seems to me that they will think very carefully what they do next. I have never heard such a well-known agency be clear about how they feel.”
Levin claimed that reigniting the royal race row could have damaging effects on Markle’s Hollywood plans.
“Meghan needs to be very careful. A lot of people have dropped her. The agency has told her to ‘stop moaning,’ because people are ‘getting fed up’ with it,” Levin continued.
“If they now feel they have an even harder job to do in order to get her famous, it’s going to be difficult,” she said. “It is going to be very difficult to get the glamour she wants.”
Levin added that Markle “is someone who needs to be adored all the time by the public.”
The Post has reached out to WME and Markle’s reps for comment.
Last week, the Dutch translation of Scobie’s explosive tell-all biography, “Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival,” named the royals who allegedly made a “racist” remark about the Sussexes’ son Archie.
The book unmasked her father-in-law, King Charles, and sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, as the royals who allegedly questioned Archie’s skin color.
It was quickly pulled from shelves in the Netherlands following the snafu.
The royals have not responded to the allegations — or any claims made in the book — and Scobie blamed a “translation error” made by the publisher.
However, the translator responsible for the book’s Dutch version has disputed his claim.
Several experts have urged the Sussexes to end their “deafening silence” and speak out in defense of Charles and Kate — advice they’ve decided to ignore.
In 2021, Harry and Markle initially divulged to Oprah Winfrey that the Windsor clan commented on how dark their son Archie’s skin would be before he was born.
“That conversation I’m never going to share. But at the time, it was awkward. I was a bit shocked. I’m not comfortable sharing it,” Harry told Winfrey.
Elsewhere, Scobie’s book was likened to a “grenade being thrown into the middle of the royal family,” according to the late Princess Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell.
