Meghan Markle’s acting return could spark fresh problems with Prince William, Kate Middleton: expert

Meghan Markle is eyeing a return to acting.

Royal correspondent Bronte Coy told BBC Radio Four’s "Today" Friday that the acting opportunity was "significant" and that Markle was "very excited about it." Markle is in talks to join Guy Ritchie's "The Gentlemen," according to The Hollywood Reporter .

The part would be for the yet-to-be-announced third season of the British action-comedy series.

Fox News Digital reached out to Archewell for comment.

MEGHAN MARKLE'S FAILED MARTHA STEWART DREAMS MOCKED BY COMEDIAN: 'SHE WAS SLINGING JAM' After the years she spent building a new identity outside the royal family, experts argued a return to acting could give the Duchess of Sussex something her post-royal ventures have struggled to deliver: a chance to redefine herself.

"[Markle] needs to find an extraordinary script the way Demi Moore did with ‘Substance’ and do something that shocks people and gets away from the princess arc," Dan Wakeford, founder of Celebrity Intelligence, previously told Fox News Digital.

"She needs to go back to what she loves and what made her famous in the first place." The potential return to acting follows a string of post-royal ventures for Markle, but not all have delivered the momentum she may have hoped to build.

"And when the show was mocked, it poisoned As Ever because the credibility was gone.

A return to acting could mark a back-to-basics approach for Meghan after years of experimenting with different ventures in and outside Hollywood.

"Acting is her thing, what she knows best and enjoys," Helena Chard, British broadcaster and photographer, told Fox News Digital.

"I personally feel they will create a new life for themselves and try to heal the wounds over the next two to three years and become an asset rather than a drama for the royal family." However, the career move that could help Markle move beyond the royal narrative might simultaneously create another one.
