James Whatling / MEGA TheMegaAgency.com Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are continuing to forge their own paths in Montecito. "She doesn't call herself a celebrity, this year it is clear for all to see that she has firmly entered this new world of flashing cameras, red carpets, interviews, A-lister parties and podcasts, more than she ever has before. While she is still Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, I feel like she is now Meghan, L.A. celebrity," royal reporter Jasmine Carey wrote in Daily Express. "While being in the celebrity sphere will no doubt benefit Meghan and her As Ever business, like it does with all celebrities, it also gives her and her husband, Prince Harry, one major difference that they will have to overcome," Carey continued. MEGA Before marrying Harry, Meghan was best known as an actress in Suits, but her profile skyrocketed when she joined the royal family. Since returning to California, Meghan has cozied up to Hollywood A-listers such as Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, Kris Jenner and Beyoncé. Even though Harry attends industry events with his wife, Carey argued he's there as a royal, not a peer. "And that is the difference in celebrity status. Because while Meghan can now probably count herself as a celeb, Prince Harry can't, and probably never will - instead he will always be a royal, even if not a working one," Carey said. "As a royal expert, I can't see Harry ever changing this and entering the celebrity sphere. What would he do - Acting? Singing? Influencing online? I just can't see it," the commentator added. View this post on Instagram The Sussexes secured lucrative media contracts as a team, but Meghan has been the standout figure. After the duchess' show With Love, Meghan premiered on Netflix, CEO Ted Sarandos praised the polarizing figure. "One thing we learned early with Meghan... she has remarkable influence-remarkable," Sarandos said on Emma Grede's "Aspire" podcast. "So when we did the documentary on her and Harry, the trailer, when we ran the trailer announcing it, people... hundreds of people... broke down every frame of the trailer." "The $20 shoes that she got from ... a village that was making these shoes sold out all over the world," he continued. "And the $1,500 blanket that was on the chair sold out all over the world. She has incredible power and influence. So that for me, it's like, 'Okay well how can we enable this to be a more holistic thing?' So that's what that relationship is about."
