Harry and Meghan announced on Wednesday that they are returning to Britain after six years living in California.

Sources have not denied that Meghan, who starred in the hit legal drama Suits before becoming a royal, may return to her former career once settled.

Reports have now suggested she is in discussions about joining the Guy Ritchie Netflix series for its third season.

Deadline reports that the talks are in very early stages, with The Gentlemen not yet renewed for a third series.

Meghan was best known for playing lawyer Rachel Zane in Suits for seven seasons. The last episode of the legal drama aired in 2018.

She paused her acting career after marrying Harry in May 2018.

Reports claim that the Sussexes are planning a move to the Cotswolds after their years in Montecito, with their two children, Archie and Lilibet, set to enrol in UK schools.

The Duke shared a heartwarming reunion with the King during a brief visit earlier this year.

Despite their relationship with Charles recovering, the pair are said to be keen to put their series of highly controversial media outings behind them, according to several media outlets.

The pair's first, and most damaging, interview came as they spoke to Oprah Winfrey in 2021 - when Meghan made an accusation of racism against an unnamed member of the Royal Family.

Harry later released his 2023 memoir, titled Spare, which made several fresh allegations against his family.

The interviews reportedly severed the last bonds of trust within the family.

The Royal Family is largely currently on a summer break at Balmoral in Scotland, with a relaxing holiday now said to be turned into a crisis given the imminent return of the Sussexes.

All eyes will be on Harry's relationship with his brother, Prince William, after his memoir detailed a physical altercation between the formerly close siblings.
