As Meghan Markle and Prince Harry gear up for their rebrand, a royal expert claims that an alliance with Kim Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, could play a huge role in helping raise their profile amongst the Hollywood elite.
A source close to the Kardashians and the royals tells SheKnows that Jenner — known for her “momager extraordinaire” ability to secure sweetheart deals due to her hard-driving, no-nonsense approach to business — is trying to angle a way to get the Sussexes onto prime time television.
“It’s no coincidence that the Kardashians all move in the same circles as Meghan’s new circle. It’s just a slam dunk for the two families to team up, but Kris doesn’t want to push too aggressively, too soon,” the source claims.

“Even if it’s just a cameo, that’s a huge win for Kris, the business side is now in motion and looking very lucrative,” the expert continued.
As of this writing, the negotiations are in the early stages of development, with Jenner approaching the situation with uncharacteristically kid gloves.
But star-watchers couldn’t help but notice that Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, was hobknobbing with Jenner and Kim Kardashian at the This Is About Humanity’s annual bash not long ago.
That was the first sign that things were brewing behind the scenes, said the royal expert. However, nothing was confirmed to be “in the works” until now.
If this rumored cameo on an upcoming episode of The Kardashians does come to pass, it’s unclear how that will impact Meghan’s additional deals.
It’s also unclear whether King Charles, or the rest of the royal family, will have a say-so on the couple’s appearance.
Meanwhile, both the Duke and the Duchess of Sussex continue to cultivate relationships with the William Morris Agency (WME).
Meghan Markle signed a deal with the powerful Hollywood talent firm six months ago, in an unprecedented move.
