The Duchess of Sussex, 44, stopped working in front of the camera in 2018 following her engagement to Prince Harry.

Before that, Meghan famously appeared as Rachel Zane in the smash hit TV series Suits, but retired to focus on her royal duties.

However, TV insiders have now claimed that there is talk of Meghan returning to the iconic role for a Suits blockbuster movie.

According to RadarOnline, producers are keen to get Meghan to reunite on screen with her former co-stars to reboot the beloved legal drama.

“The huge payday she could likely negotiate is a major incentive,” the source added.

Though Meghan has not confirmed if she’d be interested, show creator Aaron Korsh has hinted that he’d be interested in a Suits movie.

After Meghan left the franchise to marry Prince Harry in 2018, Suits continued for another two series before it was cancelled.

Abigail, who played Dana Scott on Suits, remains very close friends with Meghan and revealed that she would love her to make a cameo on her upcoming TV show.

The actress has just finished filming season one of Best Medicine, the US spin-off of Doc Martin, and floated the idea of Meghan making a brief appearance in series two.

Abigail said she would also love to reunite with her other Suits co-stars, including Patrick J Adams, Gabriel Macht, and Sarah Rafferty on screen.

“Everyone I’ve ever worked with [should join Best Medicine],” she quipped.

Since stepping down as a senior royal, Meghan has returned to the film industry, but behind the camera with her and Harry’s media company, Archewell Productions.

She has also fronted her own factual lifestyle series on Netflix, titled With Love, Meghan, but has not taken on any more acting projects.

A firm supporter of Meghan’s, Abigail notably made a cameo on the series alongside other major names, including Mindy Kaling and Chrissy Teigen.

It was not renewed for a third season, but Harry and Meghan still have a lucrative deal with Netflix, which is reportedly worth $AUD150 million.

They have released several documentaries with the streaming giant, including Live to Lead (2022), Heart of Invictus (2023), and Polo (2024).

Their 2022 tell-all documentary, Harry & Meghan, was also one of Netflix’s most-watched documentary premieres ever.
