Meghan Markle, the former paralegal Rachel Zane from the legal drama Suits, transitioned from a D-list actress on a cable network show to royalty when she married Prince Harry.
Despite stepping away from their royal duties, many wonder why Meghan hasn’t taken advantage of the chance to be part of the highly anticipated Suits reboot.
While Suits received award nominations, it didn’t gain widespread exposure during its original run on cable TV.
It wasn’t until after Meghan’s marriage to Harry that the show became accessible to millions through streaming platforms like Netflix, where it gained immense popularity.
Reports suggest that Meghan’s agency is in talks about her potential return to the series, with offers of a substantial sum to entice her back.
However, despite the financial incentives, Meghan has yet to commit to reprising her role.
The couple faces financial challenges, especially with the high costs of living in Montecito and their security expenses.
Despite tempting opportunities, Prince Harry is focused on reconciling with the royal family for practical reasons.
Meghan, on the other hand, has been busy with rebranding efforts, relaunching a website, and focusing on a podcast.
While Prince Harry has made sacrifices to support her lifestyle, there are suggestions that Meghan should consider returning to acting for financial stability.
However, it has been confirmed that Meghan has not been invited back for the upcoming revival of Suits.
The show’s creator, Aaron Korsh, is developing a spin-off set in Los Angeles without Meghan’s character, aiming to introduce a new cast and storyline independent of the original series.
At the recent 11th Makeup Artists and Hairstylists Guild MUAHS Awards in Beverly Hills, Rachel Harris, a former Suits actress, shared that none of the original cast members, including Meghan, will appear in the new spin-off Suits LA.
This news reportedly upset Prince Harry, as Meghan was not even considered for a cameo role in the reboot amid their financial struggles.
Despite rumors of a comeback, the showrunner is determined for the new version to stand on its own without relying on past stars, emphasizing a fresh start for the series in Los Angeles.
