The idea of Meghan Markle revisiting her acting career after quitting her royal family duties has long been speculated, but an expert believes she would face a number of issues if she chose to return
Meghan Markle’s return to acting has once again been teased after the former Suits star quit her previous role to be part of the Royal Family.
Now that she and her husband Prince Harry are no longer senior working royals, a return to her past life has long been speculated. Currently, Meghan is working on her lifestyle brand and Netflix series, but an acting revival could be on the cards if all else fails, according to a royal expert.
However, it’s thought that any dive back into the world of on-screen showbiz could be “very difficult” due to how much things have changed since her last role around seven years ago. Tom Quinn exclusively told the Mirror : “Harry and Meghan have talked about the possibility of Meghan going back into acting if the couple’s commercial ventures fail – but things have moved on since Meghan last acted which might make it very difficult to make a comeback.

“On the other hand, there is still Meghan’s fame as a troubled Royal, which might be enough to ensure a starring role in something, but it might be something the senior royals in the UK would dread.”
He continued: “The deeper problem is Meghan doesn’t want to go back to acting. She is in love with the idea of being a superstar entrepreneur. That said, Harry would offer Meghan his full support if she wanted to return to acting but Harry is something of an innocent and doesn’t realise how much Meghan would have to be away filming if she did go back to acting.”
Quinn added that any return to acting would be a big commitment for both to make and claimed Harry “relies on having Meghan around almost all the time” as they are a tight family unit.
There were rumours floating on whether the Duchess of Sussex would reprise her role as Rachel Zone for the upcoming Suits: LA spinoff. The show will follow a brand new lead’s journey throughout the complex world of the US legal system as it introduces viewers to a former federal prosecutor from New York named Ted Black. The character is said to have “reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles,” according to the show’s logline.
The drama will follow as his firm is in crisis point and he must adapt and embrace a new role in order to survive. However, as his personal and professional life intersects with that of his colleagues, Ted’s life will slowly begin to unravel on screen.
