If She Were to Return to Acting, Meghan Markle Could Make a Ton of Money Per Film, Industry Expert Says

Though she recently signed with powerhouse talent agency William Morris Endeavor (WME), the agency has said that Meghan Markle will not be making a return in front of the camera and will not resume her career as an actress. “Acting will not be an area of focus,” Variety reports. (Meghan was a longtime actress before marrying into the royal family in 2018, most notably starring as Rachel Zane on the series Suits.)

It’s too bad Meghan isn’t returning to her roots, as she could make a killing financially if she does: The Mirror reports that the Duchess of Sussex could command a cool $5 million per film if she chose to pursue her former career. (Word over the summer has been that Meghan is being tapped to play the lead role in the sequel to The Bodyguard, but nothing is official.)
