Update: 21 August 2026, 6:19:03 PM

The Duchess of Sussex is reportedly considering a return to professional acting as she and Prince Harry prepare for their upcoming relocation to the United Kingdom. While official details remain unconfirmed, sources close to the couple have not denied claims that Meghan has been offered a role in a new production based in Britain.

The potential career move is being cited as a contributing factor in the family’s decision to return to the UK, with their arrival expected before the end of August. Their children are already scheduled to begin school in the country this September.

Bronte Coy, a senior entertainment reporter who first broke the story for news.com.au, stated that the offer of a part in a “top secret” UK project played a “significant” role in the family’s relocation plans. Speaking to Radio 4’s Today programme on Friday, Coy described the development as a “key part of the puzzle” and noted that the Duchess is “very excited” about the project, with further details expected to emerge soon.

Meghan is widely recognized for her seven-season run as Rachel Zane on the American legal drama Suits, which concluded for her in 2018. Upon her marriage to Prince Harry, she stepped away from the screen, describing the transition at the time as “a new chapter” rather than a sacrifice.

The Duchess recently made a brief return to acting with a cameo appearance as herself in the upcoming comedy Close Personal Friends, featuring Lily Collins and Brie Larson. This project marked her first screen appearance in nearly a decade.

Beyond potential acting roles, the move to the UK is expected to facilitate the expansion of her US-based lifestyle and cooking brand, As Ever. The transition follows years of high-profile international headlines and the couple’s previous residence in California. The report also notes that according to reports, the Duchess of Sussex could make a return to acting after she moves back to the UK. The report also notes that and within a matter of days, and the kids were enrolled in school, everyone was asking, what is Meghan going to be doing, i think when we all heard that news that Harry and Meghan were moving here. The report also notes that coy also suggested she thinks “we will find out relatively soon”. The report also notes that her last episode of Suits aired in 2018. The report also notes that at the time, she said that she did not view quitting acting as giving anything up, but rather as “a new chapter”.
