Meghan Markle eyeing up 'prominent' acting roles in Hollywood, says expert

Meghan Markle could star in " some prominent Hollywood roles " thanks to her new connections, according to a PR expert.

The Duchess of Sussex gained prominence starring as Rachel Zane on Suits and she has now reportedly hired Hollywood dealmaker Adam Lilling.

The respected entrepreneur has worked with the likes of Ellen DeGeneres and Nicole Kidman and could help Meghan return to her acting career.

A leading celebrity publicity expert has told The Mirror: "Allegedly, by hiring Adam Lining, known as Hollywood’s 'fixer', Meghan could be looking for a career in Hollywood.

"Acting is what she's trained in, therefore, it's viable she may have a cameo in a film or even TV."

However, PR expert Mayah Riaz said we're unlikely to see Meghan in any "longer commitment roles".

She told us: "I doubt she would go back to any longer commitment roles such as Suits or any other TV series.

"If it is true the couple have hired Adam Lining, then I’m sure we can expect some prominent Hollywood roles."

Despite a possible return to acting, Meghan seems unlikely to abandon her passion for helping others.

"Alongside whatever Meghan does, charity will stay close to her. She won't abandon her charity work due to pursuing another career," Mayah said.

Meghan's popularity was at its peak during her time on Suits, with one of her former co-stars saying she would often have "loads of fans" waiting to meet her after filming.

Dancing On Ice star Colin Grafton appeared on Suits throughout series six and said Meghan had a huge following.

He told The Mirror: "I think she had just started dating Harry at the time, but she had a lot of fans already like outside that were waiting for her."

Meghan almost missed out on the role of Rachel as she previously confessed she almost messed up her audition.

Writing on her blog The Tig, the Duchess of Sussex admitted she forgot her lines and ended up making a heartbroken call to her agent afterwards to tell her she wouldn't be getting the part.

Meghan wrote: "I kept forgetting my lines, I was distracted, and I blew it. Which sucks because I really wanted this one. I really like Rachel. But I blew it. I wanted it, and I lost my shot at it. Or so I thought."

Thankfully for the star, she landed the role and was a huge success.
