Prince Harry Wants Meghan Markle To "Go After Her Dreams" And Resume Her Acting Career
Prince Harry is reportedly "pulling strings" to get the actress-turned-philanthropist back behind the screen and pursuing her passion.
After stepping down from their royal duties and distancing themselves from their former life as royals, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have pursued a number of new ventures from their home in California. Of course, philanthropy, Netflix documentary partnerships, and podcasts take up the majority of their time, but now that the couple's children are growing up and they find more free time on their hands, Prince Harry is reportedly encouraging his wife to make a return to the acting world and take up her former passion once again.
“Harry thinks it’s madness that Meghan’s essentially turning down blank paycheques to get back at what she’s best at. Of course, he’s encouraging her career as a philanthropist and budding politician but there’s also so much more out there for her in his opinion,” a source close to the couple told Heat World. “He’s been pulling strings with his own contacts and urging them to consider Meghan for exciting gigs, on TV as well as in movies.
Sources close to the couple have noted Prince Harry's interest in Hollywood and the entertainment industry for years, and now that the couple has more freedom to pursue their own projects away from the royal family, he is making a concerted effort to encourage Markle to take on new roles in front of the camera.
"He believes she’s an incredible actress with the skills to go as far as the Oscars and says he just wants to see her live up to her potential and go after her dreams,” the same source continued.
When she gave up her role in Suits, Markle did not see her career shift as a sacrifice. “I don’t see it as giving anything up. I just see it as a change. It’s a new chapter… I’ve ticked this box, and I feel very proud of the work I’ve done there, and now it’s time to work with [Harry] as a team," she said shortly after their engagement.
As the couple continues their work with Archewell Productions, the company they founded shortly after their move to the United States, perhaps Markle will trade her newly acquired experience behind the camera for a chance to be back in the spotlight as a leading lady.
