In the Channel 5 documentary
The Jobless Prince: What Will Harry Do Next?, media personality
Jane Moore shares her take on Meghan Markle possibly being the breadwinner after she and
Prince Harry left The Firm. "It soon became quite clear that they were writing checks for situations that they weren't earning the money to sustain," she
claims. "It suddenly started to look a bit 'emperor's new clothes.' It was like, 'Okay, you're members of the British royal family. What else have you got?'"

In a shocking move, Meghan Markle signed on to appear in the Amazon Prime comedy
Close Personal Friends, in which she will play a version of herself. "Meghan had already been swamped with offers, but this one had felt right," a source told
The Sun. "It is Meghan's way of gently putting her toe back in the water and seeing how she enjoys being back on set."

Prince Harry is reportedly backing Meghan Markle in her return to acting. "
Prince Harry is, of course, really supportive and quite simply wants Meghan to do whatever brings her joy," the source said.

As for what
Prince Harry is bringing to the table, Jane Moore noted that the Duke of Sussex "hasn't hit it off in America" and may need to "become a dad-fluencer for billionaires" if he wants to contribute financially. The Channel 5 documentary alleges that his "chapter in the U.S. seems to be coming to an end" as he struggles to generate income.

Meghan Markle and
Prince Harry struggled to find their professional footing after arriving in the United States. The pair ventured into television production via their partnership with Netflix. Meghan and Harry also inked a podcasting deal with Spotify that failed to gain much traction. The mother of two then launched her lifestyle brand, As Ever, which has faced many hiccups since it debuted.

According to a second source, Meghan Markle and
Prince Harry allegedly cut staff to save money after their lucrative Netflix partnership was downgraded to a "first-look" deal. "It's the same old story. They cycle through staff as quickly as normal people cycle through toilet paper. Milk lasts longer than their employees," the source claimed to
Page Six.
