A Hollywood agency has set the record straight on representing Meghan, Duchess of Sussex after Ari Emanuel, the executive chairman of WME Group, made a cryptic comment about her future.
When discussing his forthcoming memoir, Roll the Calls, Mr Emanuel was asked where he believed the Duchess of Sussex’s career was heading.
He told the Sunday Times: “Here’s the great thing: I don’t have to think about that anymore.”
GB News contacted both Meghan’s spokesman and WME for comment.

A WME spokeswoman told the People’s Channel: “I can confirm that WME continues to represent Meghan and Archewell.”
It is currently unclear what Mr Emanuel meant when he claimed he “doesn’t have to think about that anymore”.
Meghan joined WME in April 2023, assembling a heavyweight roster of representatives.
Alongside Mr Emanuel, her team comprised senior talent partner Brad Slater and Jill Smoller, the agent long associated with Serena Williams.

WME was brought on to accelerate the Duchess of Sussex’s post-royal ambitions across film and television production, high-value brand partnerships, and commercial ventures.
The arrangement also extended to Archewell, the content and media company she co-founded with Prince Harry.
The alliance paired one of Hollywood’s most powerful talent agencies with one of the world’s most recognisable public figures.
The Duchess of Sussex’s Netflix lifestyle programme, With Love, Meghan, was cancelled in January following two series and a holiday special.
Despite this, the first series reached the Global Top 10 and the Top 10 in 24 countries, with 5.3 million views in the first half of 2025.
Netflix also described it as its most-watched culinary show since its release.
In March, the streaming platform withdrew its financial backing from As Ever, Meghan’s pantry brand.
Netflix said the first collection sold out in under an hour, with products continuing to sell out in what it described as record time.
When the brand subsequently separated from Netflix in 2026, an As Ever spokesman said it had experienced “meaningful and rapid growth” and was ready to operate independently.
In August 2025, Netflix announced a multi-year first-look deal with Archewell Productions, covering future film and TV projects.
