Reported return to acting
Insiders suggest that the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan, might resume her acting career upon her return to the UK. While sources close to the Sussexes haven't confirmed any specific projects, they haven't refuted the claim that she has received an acting offer. News of this potential role was initially reported by news.com.au as a significant factor in the couple's decision to relocate to Britain.[S1][S2]
Meghan, 45, was best known for playing Rachel Zane in the legal drama Suits for seven seasons, with her last episode airing in 2018. She put her career on hold after marrying Prince Harry, describing it as a new chapter rather than giving anything up. She recently made a cameo in the comedy Close Personal Friends, her first acting in nearly a decade.[S1][S3]
Family relocation to UK
Prince Harry and Meghan are relocating from the United States to a private home outside London, bringing their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, aged seven and five respectively, with them. The children will begin school in September. This decision comes after a July visit to King Charles III's Highgrove residence, marking the first time he met his grandchildren in over four years.[S1]
The King was not informed of the Sussexes' return to the UK until recently, yet he is pleased to have more private time with them. While Harry and Meghan have no immediate plans to resume royal duties, Meghan is considering expanding her lifestyle brand, As Ever, within the UK. This move comes as Meghan may potentially return to acting upon her return to the country.[S1]
Legal and financial context
Prince Harry will soon discover the financial consequences of his legal battle against the Daily Mail publisher. On Friday, the court will reveal the costs he and other prominent figures, such as Sir Elton John and Elizabeth Hurley, must pay after their lawsuit's dismissal last month. The lawsuit centered on allegations of unlawful information gathering.[S1]
Royal expert Robert Jobson suggested the couple moved due to financial pressures in the US, saying bills were too high and earnings insufficient. News.com.au's Bronte Coy noted their commercial activities could fund other ventures without burdening taxpayers.[S3]
