Meghan and Harry made their exit from the Royal Family on March 31, and have since moved to sunny Santa Barbara in California. The former Duchess has been tipped to make a return to acting by Hollywood insiders and agents, but the couple have remained tight-lipped on new ventures. Now reports have revealed that the couple have been pitching an idea for a project around Hollywood since June, according to Variety.
According to reports, network executives met with the couple in June.
Rather than see Meghan return to acting, Hollywood insiders told Variety that the couple want to joint-produce their project.
Details on what Meghan and Harry’s “secret project” is about have not been confirmed.
It is also unclear whether the project would be a TV series or a movie.
