Meghan Markle is gearing up for a major moment in the spotlight, with a highly anticipated public appearance potentially on the horizon. As she prepares to launch her new lifestyle brand and Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex is making strategic moves that could cement her presence in Hollywood.

The biggest night in the entertainment industry, the Academy Awards, is set to take place on Sunday, March 2nd, at the iconic Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. And while the star-studded event will feature the biggest names in film, speculation is growing that Meghan may also be among the A-list attendees.

A source told DailyMail, “She [Meghan] would make waves if she shows up tonight and will get global publicity for her series.”

If she does make a surprise appearance, it would mark one of Meghan’s most high-profile outings since stepping back from royal duties. The timing could not be more strategic, as her lifestyle brand, As Ever—formerly known as American Riviera Orchard—is still navigating trademark hurdles ahead of its official launch.

Behind the scenes, Meghan is assembling a formidable team to ensure her ventures thrive. The latest addition to her camp is Meredith Maines, a communications powerhouse with an impressive résumé that includes Google, Hulu, and American Idol. Maines has been appointed as Chief of Communications for Prince Harry and Meghan, and she is set to officially take on the role starting March 3rd.

This hiring signals a clear intention from the Sussexes: they’re serious about making an impact in the industry. With Maines leading their communications strategy, Meghan’s upcoming projects, including her Netflix series, could receive a significant publicity boost.

Though Meghan’s attendance at the Oscars remains unconfirmed, her presence would undoubtedly create a media frenzy. The former Suits actress has long been linked to Hollywood’s elite, and a red carpet appearance would put her directly in the limelight just as she gears up to launch her lifestyle empire.

Even if she opts out of attending, her brand and Netflix series will likely still benefit from the speculation surrounding her. Meghan has yet to announce an official release date for As Ever, but with growing buzz around her latest endeavors, anticipation is at an all-time high.

Whether she walks the red carpet or not, one thing is certain—Meghan Markle knows how to keep the world watching.
