Action! Meghan and Harry roll out movie plans

MEGHAN Markle cut short her acting career when she married Prince Harry, but the Suits star clearly never abandoned her showbiz dreams.

I can reveal that the Duchess of Sussex, who is currently living with Harry in a £15million Los Angeles mansion owned by entertainment tycoon Tyler Perry, has spelt out her plans to return to the screen.

This week, Harry and Meghan, below, applied to trademark the name of their planned foundation, Archewell, for ‘television shows’ and ‘motion picture films’.

The couple have listed a vast range of potential ventures in their application to the Intellectual Property Office in London, from ‘digital entertainment content’ to ‘providing a website featuring information in the field of physical fitness’ and a site ‘featuring information in the field of nutrition, general health and mental health’.

A source close to the Sussexes tells me: ‘Archewell is going to be huge. Harry and Meghan will use it to support lots of causes that they feel passionately about. It will be a global organisation with international ambitions.’ The name Archewell originates from the Greek word arche, meaning sources of action, which inspired the name of their 14-month-old son, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor. The couple had set up a similar ‘notfor-profit’ organisation, Sussex Royal, but were banned from using the word ‘royal’ when they quit official duties in January. They declared that they planned to become ‘financially independent’ of the Royal Family. Let’s hope they haven’t made any mistakes in their paperwork. When they filed documents to trademark the name in America last month, officials said the plans were ‘too vague’ and sent them back. In a further blunder, the application form to the United States Patent and Trademark Office had not even been signed. The Sussexes have delayed Archewell’s launch until at least next year, as they focus their efforts on the Black Lives Matter movement and fighting coronavirus. They said: ‘We look forward to launching Archewell when the time is right.’
