Fans point out Beyonce’s reaction to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle asking for voiceover work | Daily Mail Online

People took to Twitter to point out superstar Beyonce‘s seemingly awkward response to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry during a conversation with the top Disney executive at a movie premier

The formerly royal couple attended The Lion King premier on July 9 and took time out to speak with some of Hollywood’s most influential figures.

This comes just months before Meghan was hired by the company to work on a Disney project in exchange for a donation to Elephant Without Borders, a wildlife conservation and nature research charity.

Footage shows Harry praising his wive’s voiceover skills to the film’s director Jon Favreau, Beyonce and rapper Jay-Z.

He tells Favreau: ‘If anyone needs any extra voiceover work…’ before Meghan interrupts and jokes: ‘That’s really why we’re here – it’s the pitch!’

Harry then says ‘… just not Scar’ – a reference to antagonistic Lion King character who tries to steal the kingdom from Simba.

Social media users were quick to point out the Beyonce appeared uncomfortable during the exchange, with this person saying: ‘Look at Beyonce! She KNOWS what’s happening and she and Mr. Carter have to pretend to be nice until the Harkles get through the line’

Kaden Bentley: ‘This is painful to watch. Everyone seems so uncomfortable, especially while Meghan is speaking with Beyoncé’

One user said Beyonce, Jay Z and Disney CEO Bob Iger were ‘not having it’ with Meghan Marklee

‘But basically, Harry is asking Bob for a job for Meghan. Meghan’s pretending it’s not happening. Despite having planned that,’ she added.

‘This is painful to watch. Everyone seems so uncomfortable, especially while Meghan is speaking with Beyoncé,’ one person wrote.

‘This is so funny. Beyonce & JayZ not into Meghan!!’ one user said

‘Not having it!! Disney Exec not having it! Poor royals Meghan & Harry.’

‘Beyonce scratched her nose and looked as if she was embarrassed for them and then JayZ laughed at Harry’s Scar joke,’ another said.

At the same event, Harry also touted Meghan’s acting chops to Disney CEO Bob Iger, 68, in a move the seemed to surprise his wife, former TV host Willow Bay.

During conversation, Harry asks: ‘You do know she does voiceovers?’

Iger can be heard replying: ‘Ah, I did not know that.’ Harry then responds: ‘You seem surprised. She’s really interested.’ The Disney chief then says: ‘We’d love to try. That’s a great idea.’

While Bay’s comments are unclear, it appears she asks Iger what the two husband’s were chatting about.

Iger gestures towards Harry and appears to explain the conversation, causing Bay to pull a face of exaggerated shock.

Netflix recently confirmed that it was interested in working with Prince Harry and Meghan after their bombshell announcement of leaving behind their royal duties.

Following a sensational frenzy and intense negotiations, it was revealed the couple would be giving up their HRH titles to be known as Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex going forward.

This opened the door for the couple to potentially enter into lucrative contracts with entertainment companies, including popular streaming site Netflix.

Ted Sarandos, chief content officer of Netflix, said the company is ‘interested’ in a production with the Sussexes.

‘Who wouldn’t be interested? Yes, sure,’ Sarandaos said at an event in Losa Angeles when asked about Harry and Meghan.

Meghan has retained her team of Hollywood agents and publicists, as well as reportedly being in discussion about future projects.

Prince Harry has signed on to complete a six-part series Apple TV+, which will be produced with Oprah Winfrey and focus on mental health.

De Niro takes shot at Trump as he accepts SAG lifetime award, | Daily Mail Online

Accepting a lifetime achievement award during Sunday’s annual Screen Actors Guild awards, actor Actor Robert De Niro took a veiled jab at US President Donald Trump.

The two-time Academy Award winner and star of Oscar-nominated mob film ‘The Irishman’, made his comments never once mentioning Trump by name, as the president faces a Senate trial this week on impeachment charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

Trump was at the American Farm Bureau Federation Annual Convention and Trade Show in Austin, Texas, earlier in the day.

Stepping onto the stage to a rousing standing ovation and cheers at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Sunday evening, De Niro said, ‘there´s right, and there´s wrong and there’s common sense, and there´s abuse of power, and as a citizen I have as much right as anyone else … to voice my opinion.’

‘And if I have a bigger voice because of my situation, I´m going to use it whenever I see a blatant abuse of power. And that´s all I´m going say about that tonight,’ the actor added.

He then went on to thank his ‘comrades in arms’ for bestowing the life achievement honor, presented by the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Actors. An almost star-struck Leonardo DiCaprio had presented the award to De Niro.

Although known for his often-taciturn demeanor in public appearances while strictly guarding his private life, De Niro has emerged as one of Trump’s most vocal critics outside of political circles.

In 2018, he launched an expletive-laden attack on the president on live television as a presenter on stage of the Tony Awards.

Trump responded on Twitter by calling De Niro ‘a very low-key individual’.

President Donald Trump walks down the stairs of Air Force One upon arrival at Andrews Air Force Base on Sunday, returning from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. He previously responded to a 2018 De Niro criticism by saying he was ‘a very low-key individual’

A versatile actor with more than 100 films to his credit, the 76-year-old De Niro’s biggest movies include dramas like ‘The Deer Hunter,’ ‘Raging Bull’ and ‘The Godfather: Part II’.

He is also known for starring in comedies such as ‘Meet the Parents’ and ‘Silver Linings Playbook’.

A frequent collaborator with his Irishman director, Martin Scorsese, De Niro built his career with haunting portrayals of loners and tough guys.

He played a deranged ex-convict in ‘Cape Fear’, a disturbed vigilante in ‘Taxi Driver’, a disillusioned Vietnam War veteran in ‘Deer Hunter’, and a ruthless gangster in ‘Goodfellas,’ all directed by Scorsese, whom he considers a close friend.

De Niro also is co-founder of the Tribeca Film Festival in New York, established to help revitalize lower Manhattan after the Sept. 11 attacks that reduced the World Trade Center to ruins.

De Niro has been overlooked this awards season for his acting turn as hitman Frank Sheeran in the mob film ‘The Irishman’, but recouped as one of the producers of the movie when it received an Oscar nomination for best picture

The method actor and perfectionist attended the Stella Adler Conservatory and the American Workshop and, as well as trained under Lee Strasberg, the acclaimed actor and director. De Niro quickly earned a reputation for intense preparation.

He learned to speak a Sicilian dialect to play the young mobster Vito Corleone in ‘The Godfather: Part II,’ a role that earned him his first Oscar in 1975. And he famously gained 60 pounds, or 27 kilos, for his second Oscar-winning performance as boxing great Jake LaMotta in 1980’s ‘Raging Bull’.

He also found success playing his hard-bitten screen image for laughs, in such comedic roles as an insecure mob boss in ‘Analyze This’ and a retired CIA operative in ‘Meet the Fockers’.

De Niro has been largely overlooked this awards season for his acting turn as hitman Frank Sheeran in The Irishman, but recouped as one of the producers of the film, when it received an Oscar nomination for best picture.

De Niro joins previous SAG lifetime recipients including Alan Alda, Elizabeth Taylor, Morgan Freeman, Clint Eastwood and Debbie Reynolds.

Miller also shared a post online.

‘David was playing a song when he paused, said “I’m sorry” and put his chin to his chest. He never dropped his guitar or fell of his stool. It was as easy and gentle as he was. We got him down and tried our best to revive him until the EMTs arrived. The world lost a good one last night. But we still have his work. And it still inspires. And always will. RIP.’

He died doing what he loved: ‘Olney was in the middle of his third song when he stopped, apologized, and shut his eyes,’ musician Amy Rigby – who was sitting next to him – wrote on Facebook. Seen in 2012

‘In the very same moment that we hit the save button, collectively yelling ‘We did it!,’ we got the news that David, who was in Florida performing, had passed away, on stage.

‘It’s all very surreal. … I am so grateful for our time together.

‘I recognized a kindred spirit in him from day one. His stories, his encouragement, his wisdom. Hands down was of the funniest, gentlest, most thoughtful and charming curmudgeons to have graced the earth. Was really looking forward to more.’

His friend Abbie Gardner Dobro also said: ‘Today I mourn the loss of my friend and co-writer, David Olney. He passed away last night doing what he loves and it feels like he took all the words with him.

His early years: Here he is seen on one of his 20 album covers

‘David is someone I wrote with every time I came to Nashville and we always managed to turn our scraps of ideas into finished songs within 2 hours. I loved listening to his grumbly voice and marveled at how tiny and neat his handwriting was, compared to my scribbly mess… I wish I had a photo of the two of us writing, bent over guitars and notebooks. That’s how I remember us best.

‘We were supposed to write together next week and I can’t wrap my head around it not happening. I always save certain ideas to write with him… I don’t know if they will go unfinished now. In this moment, I can’t find the right words for what it means to me that our last recorded song was called “Death Will Not Divide Us”… He and I would have gone back and forth with adjectives and verbs about it…

‘But in any case, I hope you’re right, David. I hope you’re right.’

He was also scheduled to appear at the Folk Alliance gathering in New Orleans on January 23 and on February he was scheduled to perform in Tennessee.

According to his website, ‘he died Saturday, January 18, 2020, after suffering an apparent heart attack during a performance in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. He was 71.’

Eye of the Storm: It was added that David was ‘a key member of Nashville’s music community since his move to Music City in 1973. And the Lincoln, Rhode Island native ‘was a compelling and enigmatic presence’

It was added that David was ‘a key member of Nashville’s music community since his move to Music City in 1973. And the Lincoln, Rhode Island native ‘was a compelling and enigmatic presence.’

‘He wrote sonnets and starred at the Nashville Shakespeare Festival, and his live concerts blended tenderness and ferocity, theatre and sincerity, agitation and embrace.

‘Country Music Hall of Fame member Emmylou Harris said “David Olney tells marvelous stories, with characters who cling to the hope of enduring love, all the while crossing the deep divide into that long, dark night of the soul.” Troubadour Steve Earle called Olney, “One of the best songwriters working in the world today,” and the late Townes Van Zandt once said, “Anytime anyone asks me who my favorite music writers are, I say Mozart, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Bob Dylan and Dave Olney.”‘

‘His friend and songwriting great Guy Clark said that Olney’s art “transcends craftsmanship. It’s inspired, for sure.”

The site added that he is survived by wife, Regine, daughter, Lillian, and son, Redding, and ‘by a devastated music community.’

Meghan poses for pictures with Jessica Mulroney and Canadian Prime Minister’s wife Sophie Trudeau | Daily Mail Online

Playing up to the camera on a girls’ night out, Meghan Markle poses cheek-to-cheek on a Toronto rooftop bar with her two most influential friends.

One of them, Jessica Mulroney, is married to the son of a former Canadian prime minister.

The other, Sophie Trudeau, is married to the current one.

The pictures, possibly from a photo booth, were taken in 2016 at the Canadian branch of fashionable private members’ club Soho House.

They show how – having successfully penetrated Toronto’s ‘platinum elite’ – Meghan also struck up a friendship with Mrs Trudeau.

Mrs Trudeau’s husband Justin, who has been Canada’s PM since 2015, has urged his country to welcome the Sussexes, but not all are convinced.

Last week, The Globe and Mail, the country’s biggest-selling newspaper, said the couple should not live there.

Other issues are Harry and Meghan’s immigration status – as there is no provision to treat them any differently from other newcomers – and security costs, which polls say most Canadians do wish to pay.

Meghan’s friend, Jessica, married Ben Mulroney, the eldest son of former premier Brian Mulroney, in 2018.

Tiffany Haddish gives a shout-out to Meghan Markle: ‘That’s how we do it in South Central LA baby’ | Daily Mail Online

Meghan Markle has garnered much support, as well as criticism for her and Prince Harry‘s decision to take a step back from the royal family.

And the former Suits star has recently received praise from one of the most outspoken actresses in Hollywood.

Tiffany Haddish gave a shout-out to Markle last week on Watch What Happens Live with her Like a Boss co-star Salma Hayek.

California girls: Tiffany Haddish gave a shout-out to Markle last week on Watch What Happens Live: ‘That’s how we do it in South Central LA, baby! She come from them Baldwin Hills!’

Hayek said of Markle, whom she previously worked with on a special issue of British Vogue: ‘She’s really gorgeously humble and caring.’

Haddish then chimed in: ‘That’s how we do it in South Central LA, baby! She come from them Baldwin Hills!’

The subject of the Duchess of Sussex came up when Hayek was asked by a caller about Meghan and Harry’s decision to resign from the royal family.

She reluctantly answered: ‘I think they’re wonderful, and whatever the decision is, we have to respect it.’

Never be royals: It was announced Saturday that Harry and Meghan will no longer be referred to as their ‘royal highnesses’ in their decision to step back as working members of the royal family

Same titles: They will retain their titles as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, but they will not formally represent the queen

Payback: The couple will also no longer receive money from the Sovereign Grant, and they will repay UK taxpayers the £2.4million ($3.1million), which was used to furnish their home Frogmore House, Buckingham Palace

It was most recently announced in a statement on Saturday that Harry and Meghan will no longer be referred to as their ‘royal highnesses’ in their decision to step back from the royal family.

They will retain their titles as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, but they will not formally represent the queen.

The couple will also no longer receive money from the Sovereign Grant, and they will repay UK taxpayers the £2.4million ($3.1million), which was used to furnish their home Frogmore House, Buckingham Palace.

They will keep the house as their official UK residence, but they will now pay rent for the property, which is on the grounds of Windsor Castle.

It comes after their announcement earlier this month that they plan to step back as working members of the royal family and split their time between the UK and North America.

It is not known if Naomi knows or has met the Sussexes, but she has previously voiced her support for the pair after they took legal action on the British press.

She told The Guardian: ‘When I heard [she was taking legal action], I was like “Bravo. Good for her”‘.

In a statement released on their Sussex Royal Instagram account, Harry, 35, and Meghan, 38, announced they would be stepping back from royal duties following ‘many months of reflection and internal discussions’.

They intend to ‘become financially independent’ while still ‘continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen‘, the statement said.

The couple spent six weeks over the festive period based in the Canadian province of British Columbia – staying at an exclusive property on Vancouver Island.

The duchess, a former actress, lived and worked in Toronto during her time starring in the popular US drama Suits and knows the country well having lived there for seven years.

Following a meeting at Sandringham on Monday, the Queen said the royals had held ‘very constructive discussions on the future of my grandson and his family’.

The monarch, 93, added: ‘Although we would have preferred them to remain full-time working Members of the Royal Family, we respect and understand their wish to live a more independent life as a family while remaining a valued part of my family.

‘Harry and Meghan have made clear that they do not want to be reliant on public funds in their new lives.

‘It has therefore been agreed that there will be a period of transition in which the Sussexes will spend time in Canada and the UK.

‘These are complex matters for my family to resolve, and there is some more work to be done, but I have asked for final decisions to be reached in the coming days.’

The Sussexes have several celebrity friends, including George Clooney and his wife Amal and Oprah Winfrey.

Oprah has denied advising the couple on their decision to move to Canada, but said she will support them.

Manchester City stars fly 22 models to £150-a-night Cheshire hotel | Daily Mail Online

Manchester City footballers flew 22 Instagram models out to Cheshire for a ‘Bunga Bunga’ style party at a luxury hotel and spa resort.

The women were flown over to Manchester on Sunday before checking into the £150-a-night Mere Golf Resort in Knutsford prior to the team’s match against Aston Villa that afternoon.

The team beat Villa 6-1 and it was thought the party had occurred with the permission of manager Pep Guardiola.

Fixers close to the club are believed to have organised the team bonding night, but it was not clear if Guardiola had been aware that the models were also in attendance.

Many of the models took to Instagram to document their Cheshire escape with videos in the spa and other photos that showed them relaxing, dressed in glamorous clothing.

Ballerina Chiara Battola posted this glamorous picture from The Mere

Speaking to the Sun, a source said it had been a delayed Christmas party for the players and that a liaison officer for the club had spent months organising the soirée.

‘I think their Wags will be surprised to hear these women were invited, but that they weren’t’.

The source also added that they could have been members of the Manchester City supporters’ club in Milan.

‘Either way, they are very beautiful and looked like they had a really fun time. I assume the players did too.’

One of the models was Amira Paula, who posted to Instagram during her stay. Not one to travel alone, the model checked in with a friend before being picked up by a driver who took them to the airport.

Another Instagram star, Marta Tejada, had also posted videos of her popping champagne bottles.

A spokesperson for the club was unable to be reached by MailOnline, but a source at the club denied claims that the players had partied with the women.

How Meghan Markle kept her Hollywood power lawyer and agent despite joining the royal family | royal family-Daily Mail Online

The elite Hollywood team Meghan Markle secretly retained throughout her time in the British royal family are poring over a host of multi-million dollar offers, DailyMail.com can reveal.

The former Suits actress kept on the high-powered team to look after her future career despite marrying into the Royal Family.

And with the announcement last week that Meghan and Harry are to step down as ‘senior royals’ and become financially independent, her team is now primed for the next chapter – and has already begun making moves, quietly relocating her business interests to the ultra-discreet state of Delaware.

Hollywood agent Nick Collins of The Gersh Agency, whose clients include Tobey Maguire and Jamie Foxx, is handling lucrative film, TV and philanthropic offers and opportunities on behalf of the couple from around the world, DailyMail.com can disclose.

Meghan Markle kept her Hollywood lawyer, agent and business manager despite joining the royal family so she could stay in the loop with lucrative deals, sources tell DailyMail.com

Hollywood agent Nick Collins of The Gersh Agency, is handling lucrative film, TV and philanthropic offers and opportunities on behalf of the couple. Collins is a long time friend of Meghan having represented her during Suits and he attended her and Harry’s royal wedding

Meghan’s Beverly Hills business manager Andrew Meyer is also working behind the scenes planning her next major moves, while Hollywood power lawyer Rick Genow is also heavily involved.

Entertainment firm partner Collins is a long time friend of Meghan having represented her during her Suits days and he attended her and Harry’s royal wedding in May, 2018.

It’s understood he will handle any talks with big money Silicon Valley investors, Hollywood studios, as well as TV giants like Amazon, Netflix and Hulu.

Interestingly, DailyMail.com can reveal that Meghan’s team has already discreetly made a significant move involving the Duchess’ company Frim Fram Inc – the firm behind her popular lifestyle blog The Tig.

According to Delaware business records, on December 30, 2019, Frim Fram Inc was registered as a new corporation in the state.

The following day, according to California business records, Frim Fram Inc California was ‘Merged Out’ and incorporated with the Delaware company.

This is significant because Delaware is known as a haven for firms seeking extreme corporate secrecy.

Registering a company in the east coast state does not require the disclosure of the identities of the owners and for as little as $50 the owners can hire a registered agent to represent them.

All financial information relating to the company is kept confidential.

The move shows that Meghan plans to keep her and Harry’s business as secret as possible.

Almost 65 percent of Fortune 500 companies are incorporated in Delaware, making it the state with more corporations registered within its borders than people.

Frim Fram was the vehicle the Duchess used to run her website The Tig, named for her favorite wine, Tignanello, from Tuscany, Italy. It was a ‘hub for the discerning palate – those with a hunger for food, travel, fashion, and beauty’ and documented her lifestyle and views.

Just before her engagement to Prince Harry in November, 2017 Meghan shut down The Tig and its associated social media accounts.

At the time Rachel Meghan Markle was listed as the president of Frim Fram. Shortly afterwards business manager Meyer and lawyer Genow, took over and were listed as CEO and secretary.

In September last year Meyer filed to renew the trademark for The Tig. The palace said the move was intended to keep others using the trademark for bogus purposes.

But it now appears that Meghan is planning to reignite Frim Fram Inc, giving her a corporate vehicle for the earnings she can anticipate.

Experts say that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have the potential to rake in tens of millions of dollars annually, particularly if they choose to follow in the lucrative footsteps of Barack and Michelle Obama with public speaking opportunities, books, and TV deals. Additionally, Markle could endorse fashion and beauty products.

A source close to Meghan, 38, told DailyMail.com: ‘Nick Collins has been keeping Meghan in the loop on offers from networks and filmmakers with a view to using those opportunities in the future.

‘Andrew and Rick are very much handling the business operation behind the scenes.

‘Meghan and Harry see themselves moving towards TV, multi-media and social media platforms and want to produce thought provoking content designed to highlight their causes.

‘They have been pondering for a long time what their next move will be.

‘And it became abundantly clear that Meghan and Harry felt that working alongside technology giants and Hollywood studios and creating their own media projects was a natural fit.

Meghan’s agent Nick Collins has been with her since she played Rachel Zane on Suits

‘And this is the way they felt they could raise awareness and funds for their charitable foundation.’

The source said that former Suits actress Meghan has no plans to step back in front of the camera though – other than maybe to host or narrate.

She is more focused on producing ground-breaking content to promote her and Harry’s charitable causes.

‘The message is clear, this is about them being documentarians or charity leaders, using their popularity for good causes,’ the source said.

Key to the trio is Nick Collins, who is a partner in The Gersh Agency and its co-head of talent. The agency represents clients including Kristen Stewart, Adam Driver, Tobey Maguire and Jamie Foxx. Gersh has offices in Beverly Hills and New York.

Collins, based in LA, started at the agency as an assistant in 2005, working for Bob Gersh. He was promoted to agent in 2007 and was named partner in 2015.

Collins’ roster of clients includes Taylor Kinney, the star of drama series Chicago Fire and former fiance of singer Lady Gaga, Courtney B. Vance, who appeared in The People v. O.J. Simpson and Megan Boone, from NBC drama series The Blacklist.

Meghan’s silver-haired entertainment business manager Meyer is also no stranger to working with screen talent, having helped Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo, film actress and comedienne Kathryn Hahn, who starred in Anchorman, and Big Little Lies heartthrob Alexander Skarsgard.

Meyer, 50, is founding Partner at Beverly Hills based firm Freemark Financial, LLP.

According to the company website it is ‘a preeminent Wealth and Business Management Firm for individuals as well as their companies in the Television, Film, Music, Production and Publishing Industries’.

Meyer, who is a certified public accountant lives with his wife Stephanie in a $6million, six-bed, 6,000 sq ft property in the exclusive Holmby Hills in LA.

In November 2017, Rachel Meghan Markle was listed as the president of Frim Fram, just before her engagement to Prince Harry. Shortly afterwards business manager Meyer and lawyer Genow took over and were listed as CEO and secretary

Like Collins and Meyer, Meghan’s attorney Rick Genow is also based in Beverly Hills.

Genow is a founding partner of Hollywood powerhouse law firm Stone, Genow, Smelkinson, Binder & Christopher.

He has represented Sir Ben Kingsley, As Good as it Gets star Greg Kinnear, Black-ish star Anthony Anderson and Goosebumps actress Odeya Rush.

He also handles big Hollywood production companies including Vertigo Entertainment, which was behind The Departed and The Lego Movie; BenderSpink, known for A History of Violence, We’re The Millers; and Principato-Young Entertainment, producers of Black-ish.

The Harvard graduate and former Paramount Pictures executive lives with wife Mary Fulginiti, a former assistant U.S. attorney and national correspondent for ABC News turned cyber security firm boss, in their $5million four-bed property in upscale Pacific Palisades.

Genow, 56, also runs Traction Media, Sisso Inc and Marcus Stansel Productions Inc and according to IMDB is credited as executive producer on Patricia Arquette movie The Wannabe in 2015.

He also receives a ‘special thanks’ credit on several other movies, including 2016 raunchy comedy Fifty Shades of Black.

Genow and Meyer posed together at The Hollywood Reporter’s Power Lawyer’s Breakfast in March, 2019.

An industry source in the US told DailyMail.com that Meghan was sensible to maintain her Hollywood links.

‘It is mind-blowing to know how many offers the royal couple receive on a monthly basis. It could honestly total up to a billion dollars,’ the source said.

‘But at the same time there are offers of help in philanthropic and fund raising circles through film studios, acclaimed Hollywood stars, billionaires and entrepreneurs.

‘Nick is a friend first, but is aware of the value of Meghan to the Hollywood community.

‘Together with Harry they could have any studio jump at their request for a viable project, which would generate vast sums of money. Meghan really does hold the cards.’

A source said that the former Suits actress has no plans to step back in front of the camera though – other than maybe to host or narrate.’It is mind-blowing to know how many offers the royal couple receive on a monthly basis. It could honestly total up to a billion dollars,’ the source said

The source added that there had been rumors in recent months in Silicon Valley of the royal couple receiving interest from the likes of Facebook and Amazon on projects.

‘Obviously the couple has other major highly influential show business and political friends like the Obamas, George and Amal Clooney and Oprah Winfrey,’ the source added.

The Hollywood team worked in the shadows, while in public Meghan and Harry’s team included PR chief Sara Latham, who was a senior adviser to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, working for them.

DailyMail.com previously revealed how The Duchess has been working closely with PR advisor and close friend Keleigh Thomas Morgan on building a U.S. strategy for her and Harry’s charity venture – Sussex Royal.

DailyMail.com reached out to Collins, Meyer and Genow for comment. A request for comment was also submitted to Meghan and Harry’s PR rep.
