The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, is reportedly in talks to return to acting in what would be her first major role since her marriage to Prince Harry.<\/p>\n

The Duchess’s possible role, believed to be on the Guy Ritchie-created Netflix series The Gentlemen, remains unknown. The Guardian reports that no contracts have officially been placed.<\/p>\n

The Gentlemen is a spin-off series of the 2019 film of the same name, which was also created by Guy Ritchie.<\/p>\n

The reports come after the recent bombshell news that Harry and Meghan were moving back to the UK.<\/a> They are rumoured to settle in the Cotswolds next month.<\/p>\n

Their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, have been enrolled in a British school<\/a> and are due to start in September<\/p>\n

According to The Guardian, their supposed relocation in September is believed to result from Meghan’s return to the screen, as much of The Gentlemen was filmed in the south-central region of England.<\/p>\n

She made her official return to acting as a cameo of herself in Amazon’s comedy Close Personal Friends alongside Brie Larson, Lily Collins and Jack Quaid.<\/p>\n

This comes eight years after her final appearance in the hit show Suits, which aired in 2018, the same year as her marriage to Prince Harry.<\/p>\n

In a 2022 interview with Variety, the Suits star revealed she was unlikely to go back to her old career, saying, “No. I\u2019m done. I guess never say never, but my intention is to absolutely not”.<\/p>\n

Despite this, she and Prince Harry renewed a $100m deal with Netflix last year, the streaming platform where her lifestyle series With Love, Meghan was released.<\/p>\n

It is also expected that the Duchess will attempt to expand her US-based brand As Ever, which specialises in lifestyle and cooking content.<\/p>\n

A high-profile return to acting could boost the global reach of her products while the family lives in the UK. <\/p>\n

There are no current plans for either the Duke or Duchess of Sussex to resume any roles as working royals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The second season of The Gentlemen is set to premiere in September, with stars Theo James and Kaya Scodelario returning to the show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, is reportedly in talks to return to acting in what would be…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":576400,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,4866,43,3578,6747,417,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-576399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-meghan-markle","tag-news","tag-prince-harry","tag-royalty","tag-television","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=576399"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576399\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/576400"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=576399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=576399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=576399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
