Insiders say pressure is mounting as expectations grow around a make or break project
Meghan Markle is said to be feeling the strain as work ramps up on her upcoming romantic comedy for Netflix, with sources claiming resentment is starting to creep in behind the scenes.
The film, The Wedding Date, is based on a novel by bestselling author Jasmine Guillory and is already being viewed as a critical moment for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. According to a source quoted by Star magazine, the pressure is intense because so much is riding on the adaptation landing well.
The insider claims Meghan sees this as a turning point and wants everyone fully committed. There is a strong belief that the project could finally deliver the kind of hit they have been chasing and potentially pull them out of what some view as a quiet period in Hollywood.
However, the same source suggests the situation is causing friction at home. Meghan is reportedly frustrated by what she sees as the Duke of Sussex’s lack of enthusiasm, which is fuelling growing resentment. In her view, if he embraced the industry with the same energy she has, their overall success would be far greater.
The insider adds that his priorities lie elsewhere. While he is willing to support her work in a limited way, he is said to want his efforts to feel meaningful rather than fully tied to Hollywood. That difference in outlook, the source claims, is becoming increasingly hard for Meghan to ignore.
