Meghan Markle has posted another ‘short social media film’ recapping her recent trip to Washington DC after she hinted at building a new career as an online content creator.

The Duchess of Sussex44, today shared a highlights Reel of her time attending Fortune’s Most Powerful Women summit in the US capital that began with a clip of the famous Washington Monument.

Footage showed Meghan minutes before she took the stage for yesterday’s event titled ‘Next Level Influence’ as the mother-of-two discussed life as a ‘high-profile’ entrepreneur and reflected on the changing nature of her lifestyle brand As Ever.

Speaking onstage at the Salamander DC Hotel, Meghan outlined her plans to ‘leverage her significant influence to build a successful, long-lasting business empire’ while hinting at a move away from her Netflix show With Love, Meghan.

Meghan suggested a growing focus on creating quicker, influencer-type content, such as recent Reels documenting her contentious Paris Fashion Week appearance and New York trip alongside husband Prince Harry.

Her most Instagram ‘film’ depicted the Duchess in the cockpit of the flight that presumably brought her to Washington DC, sharing a glass of champagne with a friend, and chatting to Fortune’s editor-in-chief Alyson Shontell at the high-profile event.

The Reel was set to Dolly Parton’s hit 9 to 5 and captioned: ‘Love being surrounded by strong women supporting each other!

‘Thanks to Fortune Most Powerful Women, my team, DC, and my sweet friends for the 24 hours of impact (and fun!).’

Meghan has ramped up the amount of content being shared on her Instagram account since her trip to the French capital where she attended the Balenciaga Spring-Summer 2026 show as her surprise appearance made headlines around the world.

At yesterday’s Fortune summit, Meghan suggested she’s eyeing a career as a social media influencer, when she told Alyson she’s ‘testing out’ different forms of content.

Asked if there would be a third season of her Netflix cooking series, the Duchess replied: ‘Well the holiday special is coming out in November and it’s a really good one. So we’re able to say eight episodes for two seasons – that’s a lot of work.’

‘And having done Suits for seven years, I remember what goes into production – how much people want content in different sizes. So what we’re testing out now – it’s amazing to be able to sit and watch a show for 30 minutes but how can I give you a recipe in two minutes and be able to share that with you? And how that continues to grow As Ever.’

Meghan added: ‘So (I’m) exploring all the options of what that could look like.’

However, this isn’t Meghan’s first foray into the influencer scene. Before marrying Prince Harry in 2018, she founded a successful blog called The Tig, which she ran for almost three years.

A ‘passion project’ she developed while starring in the US drama series SuitsThe Tig became a well-known platform where Meghan shared personal insights alongside content on travel, food, fashion and dining recommendations.

However, according to bestselling author Tom Bowers, the content on The Tig did not always accurately reflect Meghan’s personal life or, at times, even her values.

In his book, Revenge: Meghan, Harry And The War Between The Windsors, he writes: ‘As a purely commercial venture she understood her market and how to compartmentalise between her real life and the fantasy life she offered her increasing number of followers.

‘Conjuring fantasies was her unique selling point.’

In a flurry of activity in October, Meghan popped up in Paris at the Balenciaga Spring-Summer 2026 show – where her daring white and black outfits made headlines around the world.

Despite it being her first attempt to be taken seriously by the world of high fashion, Meghan found her whirlwind tour of the French capital beset by gaffes and awkward moments.

She also shared an uncomfortable kiss with Balenciaga’s designer Pierpaolo Piccioli – and ended up butting heads with him as they leaned in for an embrace.

The Duchess then faced claims she may have made yet another front-row blunder, with video emerging of her appearing to laugh as a model took a tumble on the Balenciaga catwalk, next to her stony-faced friend.

When her friend didn’t seem amused, Meghan turned back around to watch the show with a more neutral expression, though a representative insisted she was not laughing at the model falling.

Then Balenciaga’s top designer that Meghan had to ask for an invite to her catwalk debut on her polarising Paris trip.

The Duchess of Sussex said the visit to Fashion Week in the French capital was ‘the culmination of many years of…friendship’ with Pierpaolo Piccioli.

But Mr Piccioli has been rather more muted in his response, suggesting that their friendship is one of casual texting.

In a recent interview, the celebrated clothing designer revealed that Meghan had asked him if she could attend – rather than him sending her an invite.

But Mr Piccioli did say it was a ‘beautiful surprise’ and had helped keep her Paris visit to his show secret.

Documenting her time on the front row, Meghan shared an Instagram Reel that she captioned: ‘About last night. Thank you Pierpaolo Piccioli and Balenciaga.

‘I’ve missed you France – thanks for th elove.’

Her most recent trip to Washington comes after what has already been a busy October for the Duchess; days after her controversial Parisian getaway, Meghan joined Prince Harry as the royal couple touched down in New York for an award ceremony.

Last Thursday, the couple attended the World Mental Health Day Gala where they were named ‘Humanitarians of the Year’.

As they accepted the award, Meghan expressed the couple’s fears about how social media exposure will impact their children, Lilibet and Archie, six.

She said: ‘Our children, Archie and Lili, are just six and four years old. Luckily still too young for social media, but we know that day is coming.

‘Like so many parents, we think constantly about how to embrace technology’s benefits, while safeguarding against its dangers.’

While the Duke of Sussex, 41, was honoured as ‘a humanitarian, mental health advocate, environmentalist, and military combat veteran’, Meghan was noted as a ‘mother, wife, entrepreneur, and philanthropist’.
