The Papers: 'Fiscal worries mount' and 'Meghan in Guy Ritchie talks'

Financial concerns and the Duchess of Sussex's possible return to television acting lead Saturday's papers.

The Papers: 'Fiscal worries mount' and 'Meghan in Guy Ritchie talks'

Meghan Markle is set to return to acting after nearly a decade of absence. She is reportedly negotiating roles in Guy Ritchie's Netflix series The Gentlemen, with her character being prepared for a third season that hasn't been officially confirmed. The specifics of her involvement remain unclear, including the number of episodes she would appear in.

This potential return comes just days after reports revealed Meghan and Prince Harry, along with their children, will be moving back to the UK. Entertainment reporter Bronte Coy stated that the acting opportunity played a significant role in the couple's decision to return to the UK, with Meghan expressing excitement about the role.

Markle's last acting role was in the legal drama Suits, where she played Rachel Zane for seven seasons. Their time as working royals was short-lived, as they announced their withdrawal from official royal duties in 2020 due to media scrutiny and a lack of support. Since then, they have settled in Montecito, California, and Markle has signed a deal with Netflix worth approximately $100 million.

However, the relationship with Netflix has deteriorated in recent months, leading to a reduced deal and the end of Netflix's involvement with Markle's lifestyle venture As Ever. The move to the UK marks a significant personal and professional reset for Meghan, who built a successful television career before her marriage.
