Nearly a decade after leaving the TV series Suits following her marriage to Prince Harry, Meghan Markle is reportedly in talks to return to acting with a significant role in the third season of Netflix's crime series The Gentlemen. The show, created by Guy Ritchie and based on his 2019 film, is developing a role specifically for Markle, although the season has not yet been officially greenlit. According to BBC reports, the character for Markle is in the writing stages, but details about the role's size or episode count remain unclear. Netflix and Markle have not issued official statements, and some sources describe the negotiations as preliminary and hypothetical.

Markle has reportedly met with Guy Ritchie through mutual acquaintances, and work on her potential character has begun. If she joins the series, it would mark her first major acting role since departing Suits in 2017, where she played Rachel Zane for seven seasons. Markle left the show shortly after her relationship with Prince Harry became public, marrying him in 2018 and stepping back from acting to join the British royal family. The couple stepped down from senior royal duties in 2020 and relocated to California.

Since moving to the U.S., Markle and Harry signed a significant deal with Netflix, and Markle is set to appear in a guest role in the comedy film Close Personal Friends alongside Brie Larson and Lily Collins. The Gentlemen’s second season is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on September 3. Concurrently, reports indicate that Markle and Harry plan to spend an extended period in the United Kingdom, with their children expected to start attending British schools in September, though they do not intend to resume royal duties.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry recently faced a legal setback in his privacy lawsuit against the publisher of the Daily Mail, with the London Supreme Court ordering him and six co-plaintiffs to pay £9.5 million (approximately $13 million) in legal costs by August 28.

Summary: Meghan Markle is reportedly negotiating a return to acting with a role in Netflix’s The Gentlemen season three, marking her first major role since leaving Suits in 2017. The season is not yet confirmed, and Markle’s involvement remains unconfirmed by Netflix. Meanwhile, she and Prince Harry plan to spend more time in the UK as their children start school there.
