Royal Actress Defies Odds, Eyes Comeback
28 Aug
Summary
- Lady Frederick Windsor balances acting with royal appearances.
- Meghan Markle previously stepped away from acting for royal life.
- Meghan is reportedly in talks for a Netflix acting role.

Lady Frederick Windsor serves as a model for continuing an acting career while remaining involved with the royal family. Unlike working royals, she and her husband, Lord Frederick Windsor, pursued their own careers. Sophie Windsor, known for her role in 'Peep Show,' has continued to act in films and TV series, most recently appearing in the BBC drama 'Wild Cherry.' She still attends royal events, demonstrating a harmonious blend of profession and family participation.
In contrast, Meghan Markle stepped away from her acting career as Rachel Zane in 'Suits' upon her engagement to Prince Harry in 2017, viewing it as a career change rather than a sacrifice. Years later, after stepping back from royal duties, she indicated a definitive end to her acting aspirations. However, recent reports suggest a potential return, with discussions reportedly underway for a role in the Netflix series 'The Gentlemen' following the Sussexes' extended stay in the UK.
While Meghan's acting future remains uncertain, with sources indicating only preliminary conversations, her situation draws parallels to Lady Frederick Windsor's successful integration of acting and royal life. Public relations experts have noted potential West End theatre opportunities for Meghan. Lady Frederick Windsor's experience shows that royal support can accommodate a continued acting career, with family members reportedly being welcoming and supportive of her professional choices.
