Princess To Superhero?

Ex-Royal Meghan Markle is apparently looking for a Superhero role in film/TV.
 Of course, she has said that she would not return to the United States while President Trump is in Office, but that may have been bluster when she had a Royal Family income to leverage and now she has to think about supporting a kid and a deadbeat husband, so she might have to suck it up and crawl back. Since most superhero (or heroine) roles no longer take into account that there is a visual template for what a character looks like, she would not be restricted by age, gender, race, or physical ability, but there are a couple of Royal gals out there to portray. For example, Wonder Woman, Princess of the Amazons, in some instances has an adopted sister, Donna.

 An addition to a third Wonder Woman movie, should the second do well enough, might be the perfect vehicle for her, especially as it will already be a franchise of its own at that point.
  There's also the original Disney Princess style superhero, created in the mid-sixties by teen writer Jim Shooter for his debut gig on Adventure Comics' Legion of Super-heroes, Princess Projectra of Orando! (See the subtle change of Disney World's home of Orlando to Projectra's homeworld of Orando?)
           

 She eventually becomes Queen and marries "commoner" Karate Kid, who is a part of the group she joined with, and she gets a skimpier costume, but she's definitely not your average superhero.
    Just some suggestions. Stay tuned, I guess...
