Meghan Markle “has a number of TV offers” in the UK, it has been suggested, as she prepares to move back across the pond. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will relocate to a non-royal residence outside of London this month and have already enrolled Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet in British schools.
The news was accompanied by speculation about Meghan returning to acting, with the former Suits star rumoured to be appearing in the third series of Guy Ritchie’s Netflix hit The Gentlemen. But royal commentator Bronte Coy said the job was just one of many options being weighed up by the duchess, who will appear on screen for the first time in nearly a decade with a cameo as herself in upcoming comedy Close Personal Friends.
Ms Coy told Sky News: “It’s still in the discussion phase. Contracts haven’t been signed, and it’s a little way off. We will possibly see her in The Gentlemen, but something else I’m hearing is that with her return to acting and her signalling her interest in it, there actually are a number of offers that they are seriously considering.”

Before her relationship with Prince Harry, Meghan rose to fame as Rachel Zane in the US legal drama Suits and appeared in films such as Horrible Bosses, A Lot Like Love and Random Encounters.
The duke and duchess have not commented on their reasons for moving back to the UK, but the news broke weeks after they reunited their grandchildren with King Charles for the first time in four years.
They are not thought to have raised the prospect of a return to the UK at that meeting.
Questions have also been raised over the Sussexes’ finances ahead of the relocation, as decisions about whether taxpayers will foot the bill for their security remain unanswered.
Harry has faced a protracted legal battle with the Home Office over security for his family since his level of protection changed when he stepped down as a working royal in 2020.
At the end of June, he was still waiting for a review by the Risk Management Board, part of the process by which the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (RAVEC) rules on his security requirements, and he and his security detail were working to try to ensure his July visit could go ahead safely.
Individual decisions on protective security for key public figures, including members of the royal family, are made by RAVEC – which includes the Home Office, Metropolitan Police and Royal Household – which advises an independent chairperson.
