It’s no secret that Meghan Markle has experienced a few setbacks this year. After a disastrous 2023 in which Spotify canceled the duchess’s podcast ending their deal and a company executive labeled her and Prince Harry “f****** grifters,” the two were mocked on TV shows like South Park and Family Guy, and ultimately ended up on The Hollywood Reporter’s “Biggest Losers” of the year list.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex then vowed that 2024 would be their “redemption year.” Harry has done some globetrotting to promote the Invictus Games and has a documentary about the sport of Polo debuting on Netflix soon. But things have been a lot quieter for Meghan.

Fans have been left waiting since March for her to release products from her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, so far though only a few of her friends and influencers received some jars of jam and dog biscuits.

The former Suits star has also had her Netflix cooking and gardening show delayed, and has been trying to combat reports from people who used to work for her that she is a “demon boss” and acts like “a dictator in high heels.” But sources close to Meghan are saying she’s now ready to get back in the game and will have a big comeback “with a bang” in 2025.

Sources claim Meghan will enter 2025 ‘with a bang’

So what’s going on with all the projects Meghan has been working on over the past year?

A few kinks regarding its trademark still have to be worked out before her lifestyle brand can launch. And that launch is set to coincide with the duchess’s cooking show, which wrapped up filming in the summer.

Sources close to Harry’s wife insist that Meghan is poised for her big comeback as she’s “been keeping her cards close to her chest.”

They told Page Six: “As far as Meghan being quiet, she’s been in the background working on her entrepreneurial efforts. Both the Netflix project and her brand will come out within the same timeline in the New Year. It’s going to be a good year for Meghan specifically, she’s spent the majority of the year doing work behind the scenes to launch a project in the first few months of 2025.”

Reports that Hollywood has turned its back on the duchess

But is it too late for Meghan to have a major Hollywood career comeback?

According to European editor for The Daily Beast Tom Sykes, Tinseltown has turned its back on the duchess after “rumors that some power players in Hollywood who were formerly enamored of the couple will no longer take Meghan’s calls personally.”

Entertainment correspondent and editor Paula Froelich backed that up telling The Times: “This is what happens when you haven’t actually made money — you fall [down] the totem pole of importance. People in LA roll their eyes at them [Harry and Meghan].”
