Could Meghan Markle Quit Acting to Pursue the Royal Life Full Time?

Rumors are swirling that “Suits” actress Meghan Markle has decided she won’t return to the hit USA series after she completes filming. The show is currently in its 7th season, which will wrap in 2018. But instead of continuing on, Markle will reportedly take her relationship with Prince Harry to a new level.

It appears things are getting more serious between the British royal and the American actress. For months, reports have claimed Harry and Markle got engaged in August, according to MSN Wonderwall. Apparently, The Metro reported, the couple is keeping the news private until the holiday season.

“Meghan knows she can’t really act at the same time as being a princess and is happy to make this career sacrifice,” a source told The Daily Telegraph. “She enjoys her work with UNICEF and will broaden out her charity commitments when she becomes a royal.”

“Meghan loved playing Rachel [Zane] and feels she owes so much to ‘Suits,’ adds a source from The Sun via Metro,  ‘But Harry can’t move to Toronto, so she’ll have to move eventually if they want to be together. Her decision to give up the biggest role of her career would mean a lot.”

However, fans aren’t necessarily onboard for Markle ditching the legal drama to become a “full-time royal,” as The Daily Star put it.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
