Meghan Markle is understood to be in talks to make a return to acting with a role in Netflix series The Gentlemen, directed by Guy Ritchie. Industry publications have reported that the Duchess of Sussex is in very early talks to appear in a future season of the streaming hit. Representatives for The Sussexes declined to comment on the reports. However, they have not denied that Meghan is considering making a return to acting. Shorts It comes after Meghan and Prince Harry abruptly announced they are planning to return to live in the UK with their two children this month. What we know so far about the role Markle made her career in acting before marrying Harry in 2018, after which she has had no major acting roles. However, now she is understood to be eyeing a big comeback on the small screen – an arena she is familiar with after her role as Rachel Zane in US legal drama Suits, for which she is best known.

In 2019, it ran an exclusive interview story featuring quotes from some of her closest friends, defending her amid the media storm which preceded her and Harry’s departure from the UK. It earlier reported that Meghan had been offered a major new project which had influenced her and Harry’s decision to move back to the UK so soon. It is not known what kind of part Meghan is in talks for, and a third season of the Netflix series has not yet been officially announced. She is said to be in very early talks for the role, and there is not contract in place, according to Variety. Meghan and Harry’s company Archewell Productions already has a deal in place with Netflix, so she does have an existing relationship with the streamer and it would make sense to launch her return there. Netflix has not yet responded to a request for comment. What is The Gentlemen? Season two of Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen is set for release on 3 September, starring British actors Theo James, Kaya Scodelario and Ray Winstone all returning from series one. The latest outing will feature a number of other famous names in the cast list, including actor Hugh Bonneville and presenter Maya Jama. A spin-off of the 2019 gangster comedy film of the same name, the Netflix series follows James’ Eddie Horniman as the reluctant heir to his aristocratic family’s rambling estate. As with Ritchie’s other projects, The Gentlemen is an action comedy which delves into the criminal underworld. Season one saw Horniman inhert his father’s illegal cannabis farm, and season two will see the characters entangled with Italian mobsters. Shock return to the UK King Charles was reportedly blindsided when told on Sunday that Harry and Meghan had decided t move back to the UK after years living in Los Angeles. The couple are understood to be moving back with the children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, who will also attend school here. Royal sources have made it clear that Harry and Meghan will remain private individuals and not taxpayer-funded representatives of the monarchy. Buckingham Palace declined to discuss what that would mean for their attendance at events but, in essence, they could be invited to family gatherings at Sandringham at Christmas, Windsor Castle at Easter, Balmoral in the summer, and to semi-official events such as Royal Ascot week. Harry, 41, and Meghan, 45, have declined to comment publicly so far on their decision to relocate to Britain but friends said that there were a number of factors behind the move. The fifth-in-line to the throne has missed his friends and family and the UK, they said, and he wants the children to grow up British and go to school in the UK. A source close to the couple said: “The decision to move back is not any one thing,” adding that there were “always a number of factors in play”. Questions about their security arrangements still remain, as they are not automatically entitled to publicly-funded police protection in Britain since they stepped down as working royals. Harry has long pushed back against this, but it is not thought these arrangements have changed. When questioned on the family’s protection measures, Prime Minister Andy Burnham insisted “this is a private matter”.
