Meghan Markle could be preparing for a very different kind of return to the UK. The Duchess is said to be keen to revive her acting career while continuing to pursue opportunities in Hollywood. With Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet allegedly registered at UK schools, the family may also be preparing to spend more time in the country. Now, a source claims Markle sees the situation as a chance to create her own “underdog story.”
Meghan Markle aims to ‘succeed in the UK whilst still earning major accolades in Hollywood,’ per source
Meghan Markle’s alleged plans for an acting comeback are putting the spotlight back on her relationship with Britain. The Duchess has previously spoken about leaving the country behind after marrying Prince Harry. Now, according to a source cited by Closer Online, she could be preparing to use the UK as a new base for her acting ambitions.
The said plan comes as questions continue to surround how much time Markle and Harry could spend together. While British filmmakers continue to produce successful projects, Hollywood remains a major draw for the entertainment industry. Many of its biggest names also live close to Los Angeles.
That could make Markle’s return to British productions complicated. The couple are widely speculated to be keeping their Montecito home. As a result, her acting plans could mean more time apart from Harry.
However, the source claims Markle has no intention of abandoning Hollywood. “She still has huge dreams of conquering Hollywood,” the insider said, adding that leaving the US would not mean giving up on those ambitions. According to the source, she could instead travel regularly between the UK and America.
There is also understood to be a more personal reason behind the move. Prince Archie and Lilibet have reportedly been enrolled in UK schools. That has fueled speculation that the Sussexes are seriously considering spending more time in Britain.
For Meghan, the ideal scenario would apparently be finding a UK-based project that could also strengthen her standing in Hollywood. The source claims she wants to prove that a British production could eventually lead to major recognition in the US, including an Oscar. “Succeeding in the U.K. whilst still earning major accolades in Hollywood is the ultimate dream,” the insider claimed.
That ambition also ties into the “underdog” narrative Markle is seemingly trying to embrace. In the source’s view, she sees the criticism surrounding her career as motivation for a “comeback” rather than a reason to step away. “She loves a good underdog story,” the source said, claiming Markle wants to turn the negativity surrounding her into “fuel” for a fresh start.
