Basking in the glory of Suits triumph and exuding the charm and style of Rachel Zane, Meghan Markle stood as a sensation in the acting realm. Evolving from her days as a briefcase model on Deal or No Deal, this actor-turned-duchess has traced a diverse path in her career. From gracing the status of royal highness to donning the hats of a Netflix producer and podcast host, her journey has been nothing short of eclectic.

While her name became synonymous with royalty, Markle’s association led her to step away from the realm of acting. Yet, times have changed. The Duchess is now engaged in discussions that hint at a remarkable return to the world of acting.
