Meghan Markle set for return to acting as she moves back to UK

Meghan Markle is set to return to acting, according to reports, after having left the industry to become a royal.

The news comes off the back of an announcement that both she and Prince Harry are planning to move back to Britain with their kids, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, six years after moving away and setting up home in California.

The Telegraph reported on 19 August that the Sussexes are moving back to the United Kingdom, and have even planned for their children to start school come September.

But that’s not the only big news for the family now that news.com.au’s royal correspondent Bronte Coy, told BBC Radio Four’s Today on 20 August that Markle is now working again.

Coy said: “I’m told it’s significant, and she’s very excited about it.”

Previously, Markle starred in the hit US law show, Suits, where she played the role of Rachel Zane.

During this time, she met Harry in 2016 and soon ended her time on the show in 2017 ahead of their 2018 wedding.

But that doesn’t mean she hasn’t had other roles since joining the royal family.

She cameoed in the flick Close Personal Friends, which stars Lily Collins and Jack Quaid.

As for this new alleged role, there hasn’t been any information about it except what Coy claimed.

Markle has been working often since the pair jetted off to the US following their controversial move from the UK in 2020 in a bid to live privately.

She started the life and home brand As Ever, continued her Archewell project, and travelled.

However, apparently, the move isn’t meant to be permanent, and they’ll retain their California home.

ITV News Royal Editor Chris Ship went on to speculate that they’ll move to Harry's home country is for their kids’ sake.

"I suspect this is part of what they wanted all along," Ship told Good Morning Britain yesterday (20 August).

"To have that connection to the UK. We know how much Harry likes being here, when he's come back here recently doing the charity work,” he said. "But it comes down to the kids. They want what's best for their kids. Harry wants his kids to have some kind of connection with his home country which, to be fair, they've had nothing, pretty much, at all."

Ship went on to say that the pair are also keeping their Portugal home, so it makes sense they want to have another in Britain.

"You can see why, perhaps, all those things have come together," Ship said. "And they thought we've got homes in Europe and California. why shouldn't we also have a home in the UK? Because that's Harry's birth country."

As for where they’ll be living once they fly over, it's suggested that the family will be living in a private, non-royal residence outside of London, someplace the pair enjoy.

"We know Harry and Meghan are big fans of the Cotswolds, it's entirely possible that they'll find a house there," he said.
