Meghan Markle to return to acting with move back to UK: Report

Meghan , the Duchess of Sussex, is reportedly returning to acting, as she, Prince Harry and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, move back to the United Kingdom.

A report Friday in the Australian outlet news.com.au said Meghan has been "offered a role in an upcoming project based in the UK." No further details have been released.

A source close to Meghan and Harry indicated to ABC News the report is accurate. The Sussexes have not commented publicly on Meghan's potential return to acting, nor have they commented on their upcoming move to the U.K., which comes six years after the couple stepped away from their senior royal roles and moved to the United States.

Since 2020, the Sussexes have lived in California, where Meghan was born and raised.

The 45-year-old was a full-time actress in the U.S. and Canada before she married Harry in 2018 and gave up her acting career. When she met Harry, Meghan was starring in “Suits,” a USA Network legal drama, in which she portrayed paralegal Rachel Zane for seven seasons.

The show enjoyed a popular resurgence in 2023 when it became available to stream on Netflix.

Meghan's "Suits" co-stars attended her and Harry's wedding in Windsor, England, including Patrick J. Adams, Gabriel Macht, Sarah Rafferty, Abigail Spencer, Gina Torres and Rick Hoffman.

Meghan told Variety in 2022 that she believed she was "done" with acting, saying, "I guess never say never, but my intention is to absolutely not."

Upon stepping away from their royal roles, Harry and Meghan struck a production deal with Netflix, which led to their "Harry & Meghan" six-part docuseries in 2022 and two seasons of "With Love, Meghan," which featured Meghan showing lifestyle and cooking tips.

No plans have been announced for Harry and Meghan to resume their senior royal roles when they return to the U.K.

A source familiar with the matter told ABC News that Harry's father, King Charles III, is clear there are no plans to alter Harry and Meghan's role and status as private individuals and non-working royals, in keeping with their agreement over the past years.
