In a surprising turn of events, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is reportedly considering a return to her acting roots. Sources suggest that the former "Suits" star is eyeing creative projects that could potentially lead her back to the silver screen.
Meghan's acting career, particularly her role as Rachel Zane in the legal drama "Suits," has been under the spotlight once again. The series, which aired from 2011 to 2019, recently saw a resurgence in viewership after being added to Netflix's library in late June. Notably, during the week of June 26-July 2, "Suits" accumulated a staggering 3.14 billion minutes of streaming time. This achievement made it the highest-rated Netflix series not directly produced or backed by the streaming giant itself. Meghan's role in the series, which grew over time, culminated in her departure in 2018, shortly before her high-profile wedding to Prince Harry.
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield revealed, "Meghan is being told there is a demand for her from fans and that she should act again." The Duchess's aspirations don't just stop at acting; she reportedly has her sights set on the prestigious Academy Awards. "They say she's excited, and she really wants to sink her teeth into a dramatic film role, and she thinks an Oscar will be in her future," added Schofield.
The renewed interest in "Suits" and its impressive streaming statistics have led some entertainment analysts to view this as a testament to Meghan's influence and potential as an "industry power player." The series' success, especially its connection to a member of the British royal family, has undoubtedly played a role in its recent popularity.
While Meghan has always been comfortable in the limelight, her journey post-"Suits" saw her taking on royal duties, philanthropic endeavors, and more recently, production roles. A source close to the Sussexes shared insights on Meghan's career trajectory, stating, "Even though she is, of course, an actress, this isn't about movies or shows for Meghan to star in; it is about creating projects for her to produce - she wants to run the show."
However, with the renewed attention on her acting career, there's speculation that Meghan might be considering stepping back in front of the camera. If she does, she would be making history as the first British royal to professionally act in major projects.
In the ever-evolving narrative of Meghan Markle's life, from Hollywood to royalty and potentially back to Hollywood, one thing remains clear: her ability to capture the public's attention and remain a topic of global conversation. Whether she returns to acting or continues her endeavors behind the scenes, the world will undoubtedly be watching.
