Meghan Markle, renowned for her portrayal of Rachel Zayn in the legal drama "Suits," embarked on a remarkable journey when she tied the knot with Prince Harry, transitioning from a successful cable network actress to royalty.
While her status as a former star on a cable network might seem like a distant past, her leap into the royal realm thrust her into an entirely different stratum of society. Though Meghan and Harry have since stepped back from their royal duties, there's been speculation about Meghan returning to her acting roots. Surprisingly, amidst the buzz surrounding the highly anticipated "Suits" reboot, Meghan's absence from the cast lineup raises questions about her reluctance to seize the opportunity.
"Suits," despite receiving critical acclaim and nominations, didn't enjoy widespread exposure during its initial run on cable television. It wasn't until after Meghan's marriage to Harry that the show gained immense popularity, especially after becoming available on streaming platforms like Netflix. The surge in viewership prompted NBC to consider a reboot, "Suits Los Angeles," and discussions have reportedly included enticing Meghan back into the series. Despite lucrative offers, Meghan has yet to commit, fueling speculation about her reasons for hesitating.
Financial considerations may play a significant role in Meghan's decision-making. Living a royal lifestyle comes with hefty expenses, especially with round-the-clock security measures. Additionally, the couple faced setbacks with their revenue streams, such as failing to meet financial expectations and losing their Spotify deal. While returning to acting could offer a substantial paycheck, Prince Harry's concerns about their financial stability may be influencing Meghan's choices.
Recent endeavors suggest Meghan's focus on rebranding and alternative income sources. With the launch of a new website and a podcast, she seems determined to carve out a path independent of acting. While Prince Harry has shown support for Meghan's endeavors, the pressure to secure stable finances looms large. Yet, despite the allure of a potential paycheck from acting, Meghan hasn't received an invitation to join the upcoming "Suits" revival.
Reports indicate that the creator of "Suits LA" intends to introduce a fresh cast of characters for the spin-off set in Los Angeles, excluding the original stars. This decision, revealed by Meghan's close friend and former co-star Rachel Harris, left Prince Harry reportedly furious. The absence of even a cameo role for Meghan in the reboot adds another layer of disappointment amidst their financial challenges.
