Meghan Markle is said to be in deep strategy mode as she quietly plans her next major career step following mounting uncertainty surrounding her future with Netflix. The Duchess of Sussex, who has faced increasing scrutiny over her recent projects, is reportedly taking her time to ensure her next move not only reignites public interest but also reconnects her with the authentic voice that once made her so influential.
According to a new report by Radaronline dot com, Meghan has been “carefully considering her next step” after her Netflix series With Love, Meghan failed to match the success of its first season. Sources say the 44 year old is reflecting on her brand identity and thinking about how to reintroduce herself to fans in a way that feels both genuine and impactful.
The Duchess recently took to Instagram to share rare behind the scenes glimpses of the second season of her lifestyle show, which included touching family moments featuring Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The posts sparked widespread speculation that Meghan might be hinting at a return to her former lifestyle blog, The Tig, which was once beloved for its personal essays, travel tips, and reflections on empowerment.
An insider close to Meghan told the outlet that she has been reflecting on what direction to take next. “Meghan knows the latest season didn’t reach the same success as the first, and she’s assessing her options,” the source explained. “She’s incredibly thoughtful about her career, she wants her next move to reflect who she truly is and what she stands for.”
Another source shared that The Tig was always something deeply personal to Meghan. “It showcased her creativity and gave her a genuine bond with her audience. She’s been longing to reconnect with that side of herself again,” they said, suggesting that a revival of the blog or a modernized version of it could be on the horizon.
The Duchess’s lifestyle show debuted to strong numbers in its first season, drawing 2.6 million views and more than 12.6 million hours of watch time during its first week of release. However, the second season struggled to maintain momentum, failing to break into Netflix’s Top 10 list. The dip in performance reportedly caused some internal tension, as Netflix had anticipated stronger engagement from one of its highest profile partnerships.

A second insider confirmed that the streaming giant had expected more from the new season. “The series didn’t pull in the figures Netflix was hoping for, and that created some strain in the deal,” they admitted. “Meghan holds herself to incredibly high standards she wants her work to have substance and meaning, but she’s also acutely aware of how the public perceives her.”
Those close to her insist that Meghan is not panicking but rather recalibrating. She is reportedly taking a step back to consider projects that align more closely with her personal passions, particularly those related to female empowerment, social impact, and creative storytelling the same elements that once defined The Tig.
Observers say that Meghan’s career decisions often reflect her desire for authenticity rather than fame alone. After years of navigating intense criticism from the British press and public opinion battles following her and Prince Harry’s royal exit, she is now more focused on longevity and legacy than short term buzz.
Sources claim the Duchess has been meeting quietly with brand consultants and creative strategists in California to explore multiple possibilities, including a rebrand of her digital presence, new lifestyle ventures, and even potential collaborations outside the streaming world.
For Meghan, this period marks a chance to redefine herself on her own terms away from royal titles and expectations, and closer to the woman she was before the palace spotlight changed everything. Insiders believe that whatever her next project may be, it will reflect a matured version of the Meghan fans first met years ago, combining her media savvy with her passion for meaningful connection.
In the end, those close to the Duchess say her next move is not just about a career pivot but a statement of independence. Meghan Markle is determined to prove that her story is far from over, she is just getting ready for her next chapter, and this time, she plans to do it her way.
