Meghan Markle's 'dream' is to win an Oscar from her Sh14.3billion Netflix deal, her pal claims. A friend of the Duchess of Sussex reportedly said the gong is 'all she's ever wanted', claiming the former actress used to practise her acceptance speech in front of the mirror. Her hopes of winning the award have been raised by her and Prince Harry's latest deal, which will see them produce 'inspirational' programmes for Netflix.
The pal reportedly added that Meghan's 'absolute dream' is to win an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award, which combined are known as 'the EGOT'. It comes after Barack and Michelle Obama's Netflix deal won them an Oscar for their documentary American Factory. Meghan's friend told the Mail on Sunday: "An Oscar is all Meg has ever wanted. She used to practise her acceptance speech in the mirror with a hairbrush when she was a kid of seven.
