Meghan Markle’s next chapter may be taking an unexpected turn as talk of a return to acting begins to gain momentum.
After years away from Hollywood and recent shifts in major deals, those close to her believe the former “Suits” star could soon step back into the spotlight, reigniting a career many thought she had left behind for good.
Meghan Markle’s Comeback Talk Gains Momentum
Speculation about Meghan Markle returning to acting has intensified following recent industry developments.
Her once high-profile partnership with Netflix has reportedly shifted into a less exclusive arrangement, sparking conversations about what comes next for the Duchess of Sussex.
Actor Eric Roberts, who previously worked with Meghan on “Suits,” is among those who believe a comeback is not just possible but inevitable. Speaking at a recent charity event, he expressed confidence in her return, telling the Daily Mail, “She will come back.”
Roberts’ comments reflect a growing belief in Hollywood that Meghan’s acting career may not be over after all.
While she has spent years focusing on philanthropy, business ventures, and family life, the idea of her stepping back in front of the camera is gaining traction again.
Meghan’s Hollywood Exit Still Raises Questions
Meghan Markle’s departure from acting has long been tied to her relationship with Prince Harry and her entry into royal life.
According to Roberts’ wife, casting director and manager Eliza, there were deeper factors at play behind her decision to step away.
“It is tricky because of the monarchy. Her role in Suits was very sexy,” Eliza explained. She added, “Her making love with another man, that was just – they’ve never seen anything like that.”
Eliza suggested that Meghan’s growing success in Hollywood may have conflicted with expectations placed upon her after joining the Royal Family.
“She worked so hard to get there. That was just too much,” she said.
At the time, Meghan appeared ready to shift her focus toward a different kind of public life. However, Eliza believes that decision may not have fulfilled her in the way she once expected.
“I understand the intention, and she thought she’d be satisfied with doing good works in the world. But she needs to be acting. She is a young woman who needs to be acting,” she said.
Meghan Markle’s Talent And Star Power Still Shine
Despite years away from the screen, those who have worked with Meghan insist her talent and presence remain undeniable. Eliza was particularly emphatic about what sets her apart.
“Meghan is a star,” she said. “From the second you see her, she just has star quality. It doesn’t matter. It was always going to happen.”
Roberts echoed that sentiment, reinforcing the idea that Meghan’s return could make a major impact.
“I think she should come back. I think she will come back,” he said. “And I think she’s going to be fantastic and blow everybody’s mind.”
Their confidence highlights a key point. Even after stepping away, Meghan’s reputation in the industry has not disappeared.
If anything, her global profile may make a return even more powerful.
Setbacks And Shifting Deals Change The Narrative
Recent developments in Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s professional ventures have also played a role in shaping the current conversation. Their multi-million dollar Spotify deal ended after producing a single podcast series, while other projects failed to materialize as initially planned.
Her animated Netflix project, “Pearl,” was canceled before it could be released, and reports suggest the couple’s broader Netflix agreement has been scaled back significantly.
These changes have led some to question whether a return to acting could be both a creative and strategic move. While criticism has emerged from some corners of the industry, there has been no evidence of wrongdoing tied to the couple’s ventures.
Amid these shifts, Roberts described Meghan in personal terms, calling her “a really cool person, really easy, laid back, kind, smart.”
Eliza also emphasized Meghan’s life beyond her career, adding, “She’s a good mom. She is a caring, loving, kind mom. That’s all you need to know about somebody. And same with him.”
Could Meghan Markle Return To Suits Or The Big Screen
The idea of Meghan Markle returning to acting has also sparked speculation about where she might reappear. While a full-scale comeback remains uncertain, there are hints that familiar territory could play a role.
Eliza suggested that the world of “Suits” may not be completely closed off. “You never know,” she said. “They may have made offers.”
She also reflected on recent attempts to revive the franchise, noting, “I think they thought starting fresh would avoid the comparison. Instead, that created the comparison. But I think they should try again. There’s magic there.”
Roberts, however, was less impressed with the recent spin-off effort, stating, “I don’t really have anything to say except it was a mistake. They made a boo-boo.”
Beyond television, Meghan has reportedly already dipped her toe back into acting with a cameo appearance in an upcoming film featuring major Hollywood names.
While details remain limited, it suggests that the door to the industry has never fully closed.
With Prince Harry expected to support whatever path she chooses, Meghan’s potential return could mark a significant shift in her public identity once again.
For now, the idea of Meghan Markle stepping back into Hollywood remains just that, an idea. However, if those closest to her are right, it may not stay that way for long.
