Meghan Markle shouldn't return to acting for Prince Harry's sake, according to one Hollywood star

Meghan Markle could soon be back on our screens.

The former Suits star is said to be hoping to make a return to her acting career following the Sussexes's surprise move back to the UK.

Just last week, Harry and Meghan made their first joint appearance since coming back to Britain - but it was said that Meghan does not intend to make regular public appearances going forward.

Instead her focus is said to be on her family, her As Ever brand, and her acting career.

Meghan is reported to be reading scripts for both TV and films, but is "very cautious" in case news of her involvement is leaked to the press.

"They're being very cautious about which scripts they agree to read at the moment," a source told the Telegraph.

"Everyone knows that whatever Meghan's first film or show turns out to be, it's going to attract huge interest. The prospect of seeing her return to acting will drive big audiences, and ultimately, someone – whether it's Netflix, Amazon or another studio – is going to make a lot of money from it."

However, one Hollywood star previously suggested that Meghan shouldn't return to her former career, not least because it would be difficult for Harry.

During a 2019 appearance on British morning show Lorraine, Yellowstone actor Kevin Costner spoke about her potential return, and suggested husband Harry wouldn't be happy seeing his wife in intimate scenes.

What did Kevin Costner say about Meghan?

"I don't know. It would be hard," he said. "Why, because if you're Harry, he seems like a great guy, it's like, that's why I'm not married to an actress, I don't want to see my wife kissing somebody. I'm on Harry's side."

"I don't want to be a person that's ever limiting somebody, but there's so much thought that goes into taking on, number one being a wife, and then being in this circle that I don't even understand - royalty. It's a unique spot,

"I think we watch it from across an ocean and sometimes we don't understand exactly what's going on.

"She's had enough attention for a lifetime now in a year."

The Gentlemen hits back at Meghan publicity claims

It comes after a show insider at The Gentlemen hit back at claims the show had used Meghan to garner publicity. 

Back in August, reports emerged suggesting the Duchess was in talks to star in the hit Guy Ritchie drama. 

The former Suits star was said to have been in advanced discussion to join the cast. But just 24 hours later, a deal seemed to be off the table.

Last week, a friend told The Telegraph: "Some people in her camp feel she was used to help promote season two, because they knew it wasn't as good as the first season and had already commissioned a third.

"It's the oldest marketing trick in the book: get a big name to read a script, then leak that you’re ‘in conversation’ with them when, in reality, nothing is particularly far along.

"The whole thing left a bit of a sour taste in the Sussex camp’s mouth. Needless to say, Netflix got what it wanted: huge viewing figures for season two and a lot of publicity."

But a source close to production has strongly refuted those claims. "This is not a show in need of stunt casting," the insider bluntly told The Times.
