After a five-year hiatus from acting, Meghan Markle is reportedly working behind the scenes to return to Hollywood screens.
According to a source via US Weekly, the Duchess of Sussex is “planning a Hollywood reinvention,” following her last role as Rachel Zane on Netflix hit legal drama, Suits.
“Meghan has a new team around her and they’ve been strategizing about what mediums will have the most impact.”
The insider added Meghan, who recently attended her husband Prince Harry’s Invictus Games in Germany, wants her return “to be rooted in giving back” and “philanthropy”.
The 42-year-old is said to have also been in talks with both documentary directors and fashion houses.

The source added: “There isn’t anything locked in yet but the most promising [thing] for everyone seems to be Meghan and Harry highlighting important issues through docuseries and bringing attention and fundraising.”
In September, Meghan’s acting return was previously hinted at after she was seen rubbing shoulder with A-listers after a surprise appearance at Kevin Costner’s charity event One805 Live.
This came more than three years after the couple stepped down as working members of the Royal Family and relocated to Montecito, California.
They then signed a multi-year deal with Netflix, with Prince Harry releasing his own tell-all memoir, Spare in January 2022.

However, the duo suffered a huge blow when their multi-million dollar deal with Spotify was mutually ended.
In April it was announced Meghan has since signed with powerhouse talent agency William Morris Endeavor (WME).
Although they revealed their “focus on building Meghan’s global enterprise,” the actress previously told Variety, she had no interest in returning to acting.
Despite stating: “Acting will not be an area of focus,” a potential change of heart could be the case as it was revealed Meghan could make millions by returning to her roots.
Film score composer and actress Nicole Russin-McFarland told The Mirror: “Could she get $1 to 2 million? Easily with her fame.
“Could she achieve $5 million? Perhaps, because it would be negotiating with the curiosity factor.
The showrunner currently working on Peter Pan added Meghan “can absolutely have an A-list acting career.”
The duchess would have to “prove people wrong by hitting the books, going back to acting workshops, private acting lessons, writing her own amazing screenplays solo—no ghostwriters—doing her own production elements, say, maybe having a vast knowledge of some area.”
She added Meghan will “make it big and prove herself as an acting talent and businesswoman.”
Daily Express US have approached Meghan's publicist for comment.
