Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly making strategic moves to further their influence by aligning with notable personalities in the entertainment industry. This maneuver is part of their broader effort to maintain their public presence and relevance after stepping back from their roles as senior members of the British royal family in 2020.
A source told the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden: “Harry had been hitting the slopes with Gamble, as well as Bumble dating app billionaire Whitney Wolfe, 34, and her husband Michael Herd, whom she met on a previous skiing trip.”
The recent ski trip involving Prince Harry and Corey Gamble, the partner of reality TV mogul Kris Jenner, has sparked speculation about potential collaborations and advice from the Kardashians’ matriarch. Kris Jenner, known for her savvy in the realm of reality television, could potentially offer invaluable insights to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as they continue to navigate their post-royal careers and brand development.
The outing, which took place just before the weekend, saw Prince Harry hitting the slopes without Meghan Markle’s presence. This event is significant as it underscores the Sussexes’ ongoing efforts to establish new connections within Hollywood and reinvent their public personas in the year 2024.
Speaking to The Mirror, public relations expert Lynn Carratt from Press Box PR has said that as an actress trying to make it in Hollywood, Meghan has always surrounded herself with celebrity pals, “many who were more famous than her like Serena Williams and Oprah”.
Touching on Harry’s recent skiing trip, she said: “I was surprised to see Harry take to the slopes in Aspen with Corey Gamble, although he is a talent manager and maybe is thinking of signing up Meghan and Harry.
“But his partner Kris Jenner has had her sites set on signing up Harry and Meghan to appear on the Kardashian’s since 2020 and was rumored to be snubbed at first. But, last autumn after Kris and Kim spent time with Doria, Meghan’s mum at a charity event, it was reported that talks were in the early stages.”
She went on to add: “Kris believes even a cameo from them would be very lucrative for the show and help Harry and Meghan’s popularity in becoming more mainstream. The Kardashians are the royalty of reality TV and Kris has been the mastermind of that and she could certainly offer Meghan and Harry some valuable advice, if nothing else.”
Prince Harry and Meghan have previously ventured into the world of television, marking their foray with a highly publicized interview with Oprah Winfrey in the spring of 2021. This interview was followed by the release of their Netflix docuseries in December 2022, further cementing their commitment to leveraging media platforms to share their narratives and projects.
As the couple continues to explore opportunities in television and beyond, their collaboration with figures like Kris Jenner could open new avenues for them to engage with a global audience. Their strategic partnerships and media endeavors highlight their adaptability and ambition in building a brand that transcends their royal heritage, positioning them as influential figures in both philanthropy and entertainment.
