00:05Hollywood is buzzing about Meghan Markle's burgeoning relationship with Amazon.

00:09Meghan Markle raised eyebrows when she signed on to play a version of herself in the Amazon

00:14Prime comedy Close Personal Friends, in spite of her ongoing deal with Netflix.

00:19People find it curious that Meghan seems to be professionally wooing Jeff Bezos.

00:24But to be brutally frank, who can blame her?

00:27A source told the Mail on Sunday of the Duchess of Sussex getting friendly with the company's

00:32founder.

00:33He has all the money in the world and is one of the few people who can afford to bankroll

00:37any future projects of hers.

00:39Meghan Markle is a smart businesswoman and very much in control of her career and where

00:43she sees it going, the source continued.

00:46Of course, people are talking about her connection to Jeff Bezos and the fact she's chosen to

00:50star in an Amazon film.

00:51But there are very few big players in town, and she has two of them, Netflix and Amazon.

00:56She's a canny businesswoman.

00:58Underestimate her at your peril.

01:00Meghan Markle and Prince Harry signed their first five-year deal with Netflix in 2020 for

01:05a reported $100 million.

01:07In 2025, the couple renewed with the streamer, signing a first-look deal at a much lower price.

01:14Meghan Markle is set to appear in the Amazon Prime film alongside Lily Collins, Brie Larson

01:20and Jack Quaid.

01:21Everyone in Hollywood is talking about Meghan making her return to acting in an Amazon film

01:26rather than a Netflix project, another source told The Mail on Sunday.

01:31It's a bit like when Meghan and Prince Harry sat down with Oprah Winfrey to give their first

01:35big interview post-Megasit.

01:37People all over town are wondering why they didn't come to Netflix.

01:40Of course, Netflix will never say anything remotely critical about them publicly.

01:44But let's just say, this has been noted, Jeff Bezos might be the perfect person for Meghan

01:50Markle to align with.

01:52I've been told by those close to Meghan that she wants to become a billionaire.

01:56Royal expert Emily Andrews claimed in the Channel 5 documentary, The Meghan Effect, how

02:01she shook up the royal family.

02:03To become a billionaire, she has to build her brand to be as big and successful as it possibly

02:07can.
