“She has been swamped with offers but this one felt right. It is Meghan’s way of gently putting her toe back in the water and seeing how she enjoys being back on set.
“Everyone involved is super-excited, and have been sworn to secrecy about her involvement. Prince Harry is, of course, really supportive and quite simply wants Meghan to do whatever brings her joy.”
LA-native Meghan got her big break in legal drama Suits and also appeared in movies Horrible Bosses and Remember Me.
She announced she was quitting acting shortly before her engagement in 2017.
In his autobiography Spare, Harry said of his wife's career: “I’d witnessed her and a cast mate mauling each other in some sort of office conference room.
“It would take electric shock therapy to get those images out of my head.”
