Hollywood is no stranger to reinvention, but not every star finds it easy. Meghan Markle, with her royal pedigree and undeniable charisma, ended up being one such figure, facing more stumbles than successes in her recent showbiz ventures. The Duchess of Sussex's hard time has notably not gone unnoticed by critics, with one of them now wondering where she belongs next. The critic in discussion strikingly floats an intriguing idea: Bridgerton, a world of opulence, secrets, and romance, much like Markle’s short-lived real-life experience.

The next Bridgerton season could be the perfect playground for Meghan Markle to show the world she is not just royalty, but a force to be reckoned with on screen, assumes the aforementioned critic.

Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times suggested that Meghan Markle should reconsider her path after With Love, Meghan failed to captivate audiences across both seasons. Instead of persisting with her Netflix lifestyle series, McNamara proposed that Markle return to acting and hinted that a role in Bridgerton could be a perfect fit. Beyond acting, she could even "double up as a consultant" for the show, bringing her insight from life in the British royal family to the title’s lavish world, McNamara added. 

Mary McNamara, in her Los Angeles Times feature, not only suggested Bridgerton to Meghan Markle, but she also had other alternative acting options for her, including Grotesquerie, a Harlan Coben Netflix adaptation, or commissioning her own satirical lifestyle show where guests struggle with their allergies and other cuisine-related issues, contradicting the happy atmosphere in With Love, Meghan. McNamara notably stuck to suggesting only Netflix-exclusive options, honoring Markle and Prince Harry’s renewed deal with the streamer, which reportedly includes a Princess Diana documentary.

The late Princess of Wales' resurrection on screen, however has upset many, jeopardizing the reception of the concept long before its release.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s planned Netflix documentary on Princess Diana has sparked significant backlash, with critics arguing that the project risks exploiting the late royal’s legacy for personal gain. The documentary is, moreover, expected to delve into Princess Diana’s tumultuous marriage to King Charles III, potentially reigniting public controversy. Insiders notably addressed the latter matter to Radar Online, saying Prince Harry’s next move could further strain his already fragile relationship with his family across the pond and especially complicate his reconciliation efforts with King Charles III.

The buzz around the Princess Diana documentary underscores the weight Prince Harry and especially Meghan Markle carry as both public figures and storytellers. And while critics may debate the latter’s choices, they also reveal the fascination she commands. Whether she steps into a Bridgerton ballgown, experiments with new Netflix projects, or carves an entirely unexpected path, Markle's aura ensures she remains impossible to overlook. Each move she makes writes the next chapter of a narrative the world cannot stop watching.
