Prince Harry is reportedly “riddled with worry” that Meghan Markle might be “stolen from him by an actor hunk” as she considers a daring return to Hollywood, RadarOnline.com reveals. The Duke of Sussex, 41, and Markle, 44, who transitioned from her role as a Suits actress to Duchess, have been focusing on a media career in the United States since stepping back from royal duties in 2020.
With changes in their professional landscape, including the conclusion of their Spotify deal and a reduced Netflix agreement, attention has shifted to Meghan’s future endeavors. Insiders indicate she is actively contemplating a return to acting, exploring more adventurous roles as she aims to reestablish herself in the industry she left in 2017.
A source close to the couple stated, “Harry is genuinely riddled with worry that Meghan could be stolen from him by an actor hunk if she throws herself back into that world, especially if the roles involve intense on-screen chemistry.” The source continued, “He supports her, but there is a real underlying anxiety about what a full Hollywood comeback could bring and how it might change their dynamic.”
The idea of Meghan resuming her acting career, particularly in provocative roles, causes Harry significant unease, as he is aware of the environment she would re-enter, and it is not one he is entirely comfortable with.
Insiders note that Markle’s potential return to acting reflects shifts in the professional landscape. Although her and Harry’s initial media projects garnered global interest, recent efforts have yielded mixed results, prompting a strategic reevaluation. Discussions about Meghan’s return to acting have reportedly become more serious, with considerations for roles that would diverge from her previous image.
Industry experts suggest that such a move could help her stand out in a competitive market, though it may also attract renewed scrutiny.
A source mentioned that Markle regards acting as an area where she has established credibility and expertise. She recognizes that opportunities have become more limited in recent years and believes a significant role could rejuvenate her career. Insiders acknowledge that a high-impact project, even if controversial, could reposition her in the industry.
Actor Eric Roberts, who has worked with Markle, expressed confidence in her potential return, stating, “She will come back.” His wife, Eliza Roberts, added, “It is time. And Meghan needs to come back to work. I feel like her whole family will support it, and she is amazing.” She further remarked on Meghan’s role in Suits, noting its allure and the unprecedented nature of her on-screen romance from the perspective of the royal family.
Eric Roberts emphasized, “I think she should come back. I think she will come back. And I think she is going to be fantastic and blow everybody’s mind.”
Despite Harry’s concerns, those close to the couple assert that he remains dedicated to supporting Markle’s ambitions. Insiders describe him as aligned with his wife’s long-term goals, as he navigates the implications of her return to an industry that was once central to her identity.
The possibility of Meghan re-entering acting, particularly in boundary-pushing roles, is seen as both an opportunity and a challenge as the couple charts the next phase of their public and professional life.
