The Duchess of Sussex could be preparing for a remarkable return to the silver screen, with sources suggesting Meghan Markle is actively considering film roles that would mark her first acting work since marrying Prince Harry.
From Palace to Picture House
Insiders close to the entertainment industry reveal that the former Suits star has been quietly exploring potential projects that would see her return to acting after a six-year hiatus. The move represents a significant shift for the 43-year-old, who left her successful television career behind when she joined the Royal Family in 2017.
Hollywood Calling
According to industry experts, Meghan's team has been discreetly fielding offers and discussing potential roles that would suit her new status while allowing creative expression. The discussions come at a pivotal moment as the Sussexes continue to build their commercial empire in California through their Archewell production company.
"There's genuine interest from both sides," revealed an entertainment insider. "Producers see the enormous publicity value, while Meghan understands the platform that acting provides."
Career Full Circle
Before her royal chapter began, Meghan built a respectable acting career spanning more than a decade, most notably as Rachel Zane in the legal drama Suits. Her filmography includes:
- Remember Me (2010) alongside Robert Pattinson
- Horrible Bosses (2011) in a cameo role
- Anti-Social (2015) independent film
- The Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down (2006)
- Various television guest appearances including CSI: NY and 90210
Royal Considerations
The potential return to acting raises intriguing questions about how the Royal Family would view such a move. While Meghan and Harry have stepped back from official duties, any high-profile acting role would inevitably draw commentary from both sides of the Atlantic.
"This isn't just about picking up where she left off," noted a royal commentator. "Every role she considers will be scrutinised through the lens of her royal status, even in absence of official duties."
Building the Sussex Brand
The acting discussions coincide with the couple's ongoing media ventures through their Netflix partnership, which has already produced the Harry & Meghan documentary series and the Live to Lead documentary. A return to acting would complement their existing production work while providing Meghan with a more direct creative outlet.
Industry analysts suggest that any acting return would likely involve carefully selected projects that align with the couple's advocacy work and brand values, potentially focusing on female-led stories or socially conscious narratives.
As one Hollywood agent noted: "She's in the unique position of being both a proven actress and global celebrity. That combination is incredibly rare and valuable in this industry."
