As Meghan Markle and Prince Harry continue their transition away from royal life, speculation about the Duchess of Sussex’s future career path has emerged. Fans of the hit TV show ‘Suits,’ which launched Meghan’s acting career in 2011, are buzzing with anticipation at the possibility of her return. An LA spinoff of ‘Suits’ is set to premiere, and rumors abound that Meghan, now 42, could reprise her role as Rachel Zane.
According to The Independent, Meghan’s acting hiatus may be nearing an end as she is no longer a working royal and is free to pursue her career ambitions. During her interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan expressed no immediate plans to return to acting but left the door open with her ‘Never say never’ comment.
Financial independence is believed to be a motivating factor in Meghan’s potential return to ‘Suits.’ Reports indicate that she previously earned up to $50,000 per episode for her role. Continuing to play Rachel Zane would allow her to remain in Montecito, California, close to her family.
While Meghan’s reappearance on ‘Suits’ remains unconfirmed, her former co-star Patrick Adams hinted at the possibility during the Golden Globes 2024. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Adams suggested that his character, Mike, and Meghan’s character, Rachel, could reunite in the show’s Los Angeles spinoff to ‘fix some stuff.’
In her Oprah interview, Meghan shared her fondness for romantic comedies, expressing nostalgia for films like ‘When Harry Met Sally’ and Julia Roberts’ rom-coms. She acknowledged the cultural shift in entertainment brought about by streaming platforms and expressed her desire to see a resurgence in romantic comedies.
As Meghan and Harry embark on this new chapter in their lives, the prospect of her return to ‘Suits’ has ignited excitement among fans. Only time will tell if the Duchess of Sussex will once again grace the small screen as the beloved Rachel Zane.
