The NBC Store, known for its wide range of merchandise from popular TV shows, is currently promoting its collection of Suits gear.
However, fans of the hit legal drama may notice a glaring absence – Meghan Markle, who played Rachel Zane on the show, is nowhere to be found.
The store’s website showcases various products, from You Just Got Lit Up mugs to Pierce and Specter lit t-shirts, catering to every Suits enthusiast.
Even a one-piece suit for infants is available, humorously emblazoned with the phrase “you just got spit up.”
Upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that Meghan Markle has been excluded from the cast’s cover photo, and there are no products featuring her image or name.
This implicit omission suggests that Meghan has been blacklisted from the Suits franchise.
Some speculate that this decision may be influenced by Meghan’s behavior as a working member of the British royal family, which, in their eyes, demonstrates her lack of experience in a real job.
While it is understandable that she may overvalue her own likeness, it is also possible that the producers grew tired of Suits being solely associated with Meghan’s acting career.
Suits, originally a Canadian TV series, gained significant popularity in the United States after Meghan’s marriage to Prince Harry.
However, given Meghan’s new role as a newcomer to Hollywood at the age of 43, a return to acting seems unlikely.
The industry is already saturated with aspiring actresses vying for coveted roles, and Meghan will likely have to wait her turn, having already experienced the challenges of the entertainment world years ago.
Unfortunately, many starlets find themselves perpetually disappointed, always hoping that tomorrow will bring them the breakthrough they’ve been waiting for.
However, the harsh reality is that success in the industry is elusive for most.
This sobering truth applies to Meghan as well, particularly as royal experts have recently weighed in on her biggest issue – her alleged indecisiveness.
In a thought-provoking piece for The Guardian, correspondent Karlene Davies explores the couple’s potential paths in 2024.
Davies suggests that while Prince Harry took center stage in 2023, 2024 could be the year for Meghan to shine.
She points to Meghan’s appearance at Variety magazine’s Power of Women event in Los Angeles, where she walked the red carpet alongside Hollywood’s elite.
This social cachet is something that the former Suits cast member may have only dreamed of.
As speculation grows regarding the couple’s future endeavors, it remains to be seen what developments lie ahead for the Sussexes.
Prince Harry has already made headlines with the release of his memoir, Spare, as well as his involvement in the Invictus Games and a high-profile privacy court case against the British press.
Additionally, controversy has surrounded the publication of Omid Scobie’s book, Endgame, which delves into the intricate dynamics of the British royal family.
Amidst all this, Meghan and Harry appear to be seeking support for projects aligned with their vision.
