Meghan Markle has been warned not to become “greedy” with her salary if she ever negotiates a potential Suits return as it would hurt her “reputation” if the project fell apart, a PR expert has claimed.
Rumours about a possible Suits reboot have been going wild recently after the cast, excluding Meghan, had a mini-reunion at the Golden Globes this year. Meghan starred as Rachel Zane in seven seasons of the hugely successful legal drama.
According to the Mirror, the duchess earned £37,000 per episode and recorded more than 100 episodes of Suits, putting her annual salary at £333,000. Meanwhile, another expert suggested to the publication that Meghan could now ask for £235,000-£314,000 per episode since her “profile increased” since leaving the show.
But now PR expert Ryan McCormick gave a word of caution to the Duchess against “getting greedy”.
He, however, said that a Suits return would be a “smart career move” as “being directly involved and associated with projects that are positively viewed is terrific for her image and can also insulate her a bit when facing public criticism.”
But whilst he agreed that Meghan should negotiate a healthy salary increase, he warned against greed.
He told the publication: “Meghan should be grateful for this opportunity and make it a point to be kind and charming to everyone down to the production assistants on this programme.
“Because Meghan’s profile has risen considerably since her previous run, I think she should negotiate a healthy salary increase but, not get greedy.
“If she asks for too much money and the deal falls apart it will hurt her reputation.”
