Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, is reportedly returning to acting, as she, Prince Harry and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, move back to the United Kingdom.

A report Friday in the Australian outlet news.com.au said Meghan has been “offered a role in an upcoming project based in the UK.” No further details have been released.

A source close to Meghan and Harry indicated to ABC News the report is accurate. The Sussexes have not commented publicly on Meghan’s potential return to acting, nor have they commented on their upcoming move to the U.K., which comes six years after the couple stepped away from their senior royal roles and moved to the United States.

Since 2020, the Sussexes have lived in California, where Meghan was born and raised.

The 45-year-old was a full-time actress in the U.S. and Canada before she married Harry in 2018 and gave up her acting career. When she met Harry, Meghan was starring in Suits, a USA Network legal drama, in which she portrayed paralegal Rachel Zane for seven seasons.

The show enjoyed a popular resurgence in 2023 when it became available to stream on Netflix.

Meghan’s Suits co-stars attended her and Harry’s wedding in Windsor, England, including Patrick J. Adams, Gabriel Macht, Sarah Rafferty, Abigail Spencer, Gina Torres and Rick Hoffman.

Meghan told Variety in 2022 that she believed she was “done” with acting, saying, “I guess never say never, but my intention is to absolutely not.”

Upon stepping away from their royal roles, Harry and Meghan struck a production deal with Netflix, which led to their Harry & Meghan six-part docuseries in 2022 and two seasons of With Love, Meghan, which featured Meghan showing lifestyle and cooking tips.

No plans have been announced for Harry and Meghan to resume their senior royal roles when they return to the U.K.

A source familiar with the matter told ABC News that Harry’s father, King Charles III, is clear there are no plans to alter Harry and Meghan’s role and status as private individuals and non-working royals, in keeping with their agreement over the past years.

Community rallies to give medically complex teen a Sweet 16 to remember

By CNN
Click here for updates on this story    WYANDOTTE, Michigan (WXYZ) -- For most teenagers, turning 16 is a milestone worth counting down to. For Addison, it means something more.Her mother, Tracy Nestman, wasn't sure this day would ever come."We weren't sure if we would ever see 16, to be honest. We never thought that she would come home from the NICU," Nestman said.Addison's journey began with questions doctors still haven't been able to answer. According to Tracy, doctors say Addison has several underdeveloped issues, including lungs and brain, which require around-the-clock care."Well, it was hard at the beginning. I felt like we just needed to kind of know. Every doctor that we've went to, every time they've tried to search, it's just like we don't know what happened," Nestman said.For 16 years, the demands of Addison's care have shaped every aspect of family life. Her father, Ron, works seven days a week so Nestman can stay home full time."He does that so I can stay home and care for her because she's 24/7. Her and I share a room. Sometimes, I'm up 30, 40 times through the night. Sometimes, I sleep maybe two hours," Nestman said.One of the family's biggest challenges right now is getting a custom van for Addison. Their current handicap-accessible van is aging, and replacement parts are no longer made."She'll be fine one minute and the next minute, she will have a 105 fever. She will go into respiratory distress and we will have to load her up and immediately fly to Mott's Hospital because that's the only hospital that can care for Addison," Nestman said.But before facing the next challenge, Tracy wanted to celebrate this milestone in a big way."I was wanting to give her like the biggest birthday party ever because she deserves that, you know? She's been through so much," Nestman said.With just a week to plan, Nestman turned to social media looking for a wheelchair-accessible venue. Ali Mahfouz, owner of Yogurt Co., answered the call."From a parent to a parent, I just put myself in her situation," Mahfouz said.Friends, family members and supporters filled the shop, turning Addison's Sweet 16 into a celebration of community."To see someone that didn't even know us just reach out and show so much love to Addison and our family and it just really meant so much," Nestman said.As efforts to raise funds for the custom van continue, the party served as a reminder of how far Addison has come."She has truly been the biggest blessing for us. We have been through a lot and it's been a roller coaster from day one, but God has always provided. He has always provided," Nestman said.For Mahfouz, the day captured something bigger than a birthday."Seeing them having a good time, seeing them laughing, making it an unforgettable moment and just making memories. After everything, that's what we're here for," Mahfouz said.Please note: This story was provided to CNN Wire by an affiliate and does not contain original CNN reporting.
