Meghan Markle, one of the most controversial figures in the British royal family, is preparing to return to acting after years. It has been learned that Markle, who is planning to return to England with Prince Harry, has been offered a role in a major UK-based project. While the details of the project have not yet been disclosed, this offer is a notable development in terms of Markle returning to the sets.
As Meghan Markle prepares to return to England with Prince Harry, she is getting ready to open a new chapter in her acting career. According to a report by PEOPLE, Markle has been offered a role in a significant UK-based project. While the details of the project are still being kept under wraps, it is stated that the offer was influential in Markle's decision to return in front of the camera.
Back in front of the camera after years
With this project, Markle is expected to make a comprehensive return to acting. It has not yet been announced whether the project is a film or a series, nor which character Markle will portray.
A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex declined to comment on the claims but did not deny the reports about the project. Australian royal reporter Bronte Coy, however, stated that Markle is quite excited about the project she has been offered.
The turning point of her acting career: Suits
Meghan Markle's most significant step in her acting career came in 2011 when she portrayed the character Rachel Zane in the series Suits. Markle was part of the main cast from the first season and played Rachel Zane until the end of the seventh season.
Rachel, a successful legal assistant in the series, and her struggle to become a lawyer, along with her relationship with Mike Ross, formed an important part of the storyline. Markle's performance turned her into an actress recognized by a wide audience in Hollywood.
The path from small roles to leading roles
Markle's acting career did not begin with Suits. One of her first on-screen experiences was a brief role in the series General Hospital in 2002. She subsequently appeared as a guest star in productions such as Century City, The War at Home, CSI: NY, 90210, Knight Rider, Without a Trace, and Fringe.
On the cinema side, she took part in films like Remember Me, Get Him to the Greek, and Horrible Bosses. She also appeared in front of the camera in an episode of the series Castle.
Markle also took on leading roles in television films. The 2014 production When Sparks Fly and the 2016 Dater's Handbook were among the notable projects in her acting career.
She left acting after her marriage to Prince Harry
Markle's professional acting career took a different direction following her relationship with Prince Harry and their marriage in 2018. Filming for her final episodes of Suits was completed in 2017, after which Markle paused her acting to focus on royal duties.
In the following years, instead of appearing in front of the camera as an actress, she turned to producing, documentaries, and lifestyle projects. During this period, she undertook various roles in productions such as Harry & Meghan, Live to Lead, Heart of Invictus, and With Love, Meghan.
She gave a small sign of a return in 2025
Markle's return to acting with a new project is not entirely surprising. In 2025, it was reported that she filmed a cameo as herself in a production titled Close Personal Friends. However, this was a brief screen appearance rather than a full-scale acting comeback. The new UK project is expected to be Markle's most significant acting role since Suits.
The details of her new role are a matter of curiosity
It has not yet been announced which character Markle will portray in the UK-based project, on which platform or channel the production will air, or its filming schedule.
However, the fact that Markle, who has spent years on royal duties and media projects, is preparing to return to the set as a professional actress signifies a remarkable change in her career. The details of the project are expected to become clearer in the coming period.
