"We are honored to announce that WME now represents Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, in all areas," shared WME in their social media announcement. "The agency will be focusing on building out her business ventures across multiple facets of the agency and its broader ecosystem, including film and television production, brand partnerships, and more."

"Film and television production, brand partnerships, and overall business-building will be explored. Acting will not be an area of focus," according to a Variety report.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex launched Archewell shortly after stepping back from their roles as senior working royals. The organization is named after the Greek word "source of action," which was also the basis for their 3½-year-old son Archie Harrison's name. The organization also includes a nonprofit titled the Archewell Foundation, which according to its website, was created to "unleash the power of compassion to drive systemic cultural change."

"We do this through our non-profit work within The Archewell Foundation 501(c)(3), in addition to creative activations through the business verticals of audio and production," their mission statement adds.
