Within the next few days, Harry and Meghan, along with their two children, will leave California and become residents of the UK. Since the announcement of their move, speculation has surrounded the couple's new life—but a clearer picture is emerging.
Over the weekend, numerous stories emerged regarding Meghan's potential return to acting, with suggestions she might star in The Gentlemen, a Netflix series created by British director Guy Ritchie. Though talks are preliminary, the show's upcoming third season will begin filming soon.
Meghan expressed her love for acting during an interview with podcaster Emma Grede last year: "Sometimes... I miss my crew. I love being around a crew." Financially, a return to acting could be beneficial for the family, considering their significant expenses related to homes, school fees, and international travel.
For Prince Harry, life in the UK will focus on his charity work and patronages—a role he has maintained while living abroad. He recently completed final engagements in the US, including visits to military veterans, wounded servicemen and women at Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre, Arlington National Cemetery, and Sergeant Michael Verardo's grave.
"All my daughter knows about princes or princesses is probably contained to a movie... she whispered... 'Where is his crown? Did he leave it in the car?'" shared Sarah, widow of Sergeant Verardo, describing Harry's interaction with her family.
Harry has already planned several charity engagements in September in Britain.
