Meghan Markle has hinted at a possible return to her acting career, as she previously implied in an interview that she would be open to going back.

The Duchess of Sussex initially found fame playing Rachel Zane in the legal drama Suits, however when she got engaged to Prince Harry she decided to ditch Hollywood in favour of Windsor.

The couple started dating in 2016 and married in 2018, working as full-time royals before they decided to step down and move to California to live independently.

Since then they have established several lucrative deals, working with Netflix and Spotify with Meghan now also entering the influencer lifestyle sphere with her brand American Riviera Orchard.

But it seems she may still have a hankering for her old life, as when asked by Variety magazine if she would ever go back to acting she replied: "Never say never."

A source also opened up to New magazine about how much Meghan reportedly misses her life as an actress living in Toronto (where Suits was filmed) before the royal spotlight fell on her.

They told the publication: "Meghan has made no secret of how much she misses her carefree life when she was an actress.

"And while she'd never change what she has with Harry and the kids, there is a big part of her that wishes she could just get her old life back.

"She loved being in Suits and all the opportunities it gave her, she'd get invited to all the exclusive events and get to hang out with Hollywood A-listers. There was also so much less scrutiny and attention, and there was no pressure on her."

The insider believes now is the ideal time for Meghan to try and find her way back to her old career, elaborating: "She feels the time is right to start looking at offers as she knows she'll be criticised whatever she does, so she can cope with backlash and wants to do what makes her happy.

"Harry often feels guilty for Meghan having to give up on her dream life and he knows how much she sacrificed to marry him and have a family with him, so he will support her no matter what.

"She has quite a few work commitments coming up, but this is just the beginning of Meghan's big comeback and she'll be doing things on her terms."

If Meghan does go back to acting she will have to juggle it with her other newer ventures, as nowadays she is just as likely to be found behind the camera as in front of it.

She is reportedly fronting a new Netflix show which will "celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining and friendship", with filming said to have already wrapped.

Her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard was also launched in the spring, as Meghan went back onto Instagram in order to publicise her new business.
