Meghan Markle has yet to comment publicly on her former acting union’s strike action that is rocking Hollywood.

Since July 14 the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) have been on strike against streaming giants and major studios halting scores of productions.

Previously SAG-AFTRA tweeted support for Meghan, 41, when she appeared in an Oprah Interview in 2021.

During her appearance with chat show royalty, an emotional duchess recalled how she told the royal HR department “I just really need help” because in her career as an actor there was “a union” to “protect me”.

SAG-AFTRA tweeted during the exchange at the time in support, writing: “We are still here for you, Meghan. Everyone deserves the protection of a union.”

According to the Mail Online the Duchess of Sussex is tied to a £78million contract with Netflix.

Actors who have spoken out in support of the SAG-AFTRA strike action reportedly include A-list stars such as Margot Robbie, Cillian Murphy and Matt Damon.

Netflix, however, have spoken out in support of Prince Harry and Meghan quashing any rumours of a rift when the couple’s Spotify deal ended.

The streaming mammoth said: “The bond with Archewell Productions is one we deeply value.

“Our exciting journey with them isn’t ending any time soon.”

Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston was among the famous faces addressing a Sag-Aftra union rally supporting the US actors’ strike in New York.

Academy-Award winners Jessica Chastain, Brendan Fraser and F Murray Abraham were also among those gathered in Times Square, joined by Christian Slater, Wendell Pierce, Christine Baranski, Rachel Zegler, Chloe Grace Moretz and Corey Stoll.

It came almost a fortnight after the start of major industrial action by the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (Sag-Aftra).

The Rock The City For A Fair Contract rally also saw stars including Vanessa Williams, Matt Bomer, Michael Shannon, Lauren Ambrose, Bellamy Young, Melissa Joan Hart, Hill Harper and Arian Moayed supporting the strike.

Cranston, who has won six Emmy awards, was the final speaker on the stage on Tuesday, with a message for Disney’s chief executive Robert Iger.

He said: “Putting forth negotiations is not unreasonable, it is not unfair, and I find it very ironic that we are all gathered here today in unity in front of an entity that is run by Disney.

“We’ve got a message for Mr Iger: I know, sir, that you look at things through a different lens. We don’t expect you to understand who we are. But we ask you to hear us, and beyond that, to listen to us when we tell you we will not be having our jobs taken away and given to robots.

“We will not have you take away our right to work and earn a decent living.

“And lastly, and most importantly, we will not allow you to take away our dignity. We are union through and through. We will win this fight.”
