For Markle, it’s a chance to see her prince – whose only other recent success has been his royals-bashing memoir Spare – shine.
“She feels very proud to be by his side,” the source said, adding she doesn’t care if people object to their very unroyal PDA. “She’s wildly attracted to Harry and loves to kiss and cuddle and hold his hand and show the world how happy they are together.”
Unlike the Games, Markle’s lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, has yet to prove itself.
The source said the duchess is desperate for her Netflix show to do well. So much so that she’s agreed to have her homemade jams – once visible only on the Instagram feeds of her famous friends available to purchase alongside other Netflix merchandise at the King of Prussia mall, near Philadelphia, and Texas’ Galleria.
The jams’ release was previously delayed as its trademark application faced multiple issues.
“Showing up at a mall to promote her products is something that’s on the table for Markle, if that’s what her advisors said will be beneficial for her brand,” shared the source, noting that the former Deal or No Deal briefcase girl will “do anything” to get With Love, Meghan on top of the streaming charts.
“It’s hard to see how she could claw her way back from a big ratings fail,” added the source. “She’s doing everything to avoid that scenario.”
