Meghan’s UK move linked to secret British acting role
Developing story first seen 3 hours ago
The Duchess of Sussex could resume her acting career after relocating to the UK, with reports suggesting an offer of a role in a "top secret" British production was a significant factor behind her and Prince Harry's decision to move back before the end of August. Sources close to the couple have not denied the claims, first reported by Australian outlet news.com.au, whose entertainment reporter Bronte Coy told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that Meghan is "very excited" about the project and that further details are likely to emerge soon.
Meghan was previously best known for playing lawyer Rachel Zane in the US legal drama Suits for seven seasons, stepping away from acting after marrying Prince Harry in 2018, and only recently returned with a brief cameo as herself in the upcoming comedy Close Personal Friends alongside Lily Collins and Brie Larson. No details of the new UK project have been confirmed, but the BBC understands she also hopes to grow her lifestyle brand, As Ever, once based in Britain, where children Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, are set to start school in September; the move follows a July visit to see King Charles at Highgrove, though questions remain over the couple's security arrangements and neither has plans to resume royal duties.

New here? Start with this
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, is reportedly preparing to move back to the UK with Prince Harry before the end of August. Before marrying into the Royal Family in 2018, she was an actress, best known for playing Rachel Zane in the American legal drama Suits, but she stepped away from that career after the wedding.
Reports, first published by the Australian outlet news.com.au, suggest she has been offered a role in an undisclosed British production, and that this opportunity was one of the reasons behind the couple's decision to relocate. Neither Meghan nor Harry has publicly confirmed or denied the reports.
The move also comes as the couple's two children, Archie and Lilibet, are due to start school in Britain in September, and follows a recent visit by Harry to see his father, King Charles. Meghan has also been building a lifestyle brand called As Ever, which she reportedly hopes to develop further from the UK, though the couple say they have no plans to take on royal duties again.
