Is Meghan Markle ready for a return to acting? The Suits creator's new legal drama features a character who seems tailor-made for the Duchess of Sussex – prompting speculation he could lure her back to the small screen

The reunion of most of the Suits cast at the Golden Globes on Sunday has sparked excitement about the upcoming spinoff show in LA — and intrigue about a role in it that appears to have been written specifically for Meghan Markle.

Suits creator Aaron Korsh has written a script for a new show about the lives and loves of toilers in a Hollywood law firm and has created a character, Erica, who seems tailor-made to be played by Meghan.

Erica is an African-American, career-oriented Californian girl in her thirties who is “smarter than everyone” and has an eventful personal life.

The Duchess of Sussex was Specter Litt paralegal Rachel Zane in the original show.

Some think Korsh, who attended Meghan's wedding to Prince Harry in 2018, is trolling his former friend and messing with the character. Others believe this is an attempt to lure Meghan back into acting, which would be a global coup.

However, the Duchess of Sussex has repeatedly said she does not want to return to her acting career, and she had no role in the 'Suits reunion' on stage at the Golden Globes.

She has her eye on a portmanteau career as a philanthropist and entrepreneur and is expected to appear at the Beverly Hilton on Friday evening to support Prince Harry, who is being honored as a living legend of aviation at an awards ceremony there.

The new show is being created by NBC Universal and director Beatrice Springborn said last year that it is “so fun and upbeat,” promising “the same energy and beautiful people that the original had.”

Suits originally aired from 2011 to 2019 and starred Patrick J. Adams as the rising star of a New York law firm.

He eventually married paralegal Rachel Zane, played by Markle.

Adams was one of the cast members who came to her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018, but the friendship didn't last long.

He said in 2020: 'After our children were born, some texts and gifts were sent, but I think I'm a little scared.

'I think it's pure fear. I guess I'm scared of the idea of ​​breaking through the walls to have that conversation. To be honest, I think I'm intimidated. I have no doubt that I could pick up the phone and call her at any moment, but I don't know what I would say.”

The glowing Prince Harry was seen for the first time since DailyMail.com revealed that Queen Elizabeth was distraught over his and Meghan's claim that they had been blessed to name their baby daughter Lilibet – the late monarch's nickname

Addressing Markle's absence from the Golden Globes reunion, former girlfriend Gina Torres revealed that they now don't even have their former co-star's phone number.

An interviewer asked, “Who texted Meghan and said, 'You need to come to the Golden Globes, Meghan Markle.'

Torres replied, “We don't have her number. We just don't do that. She will see. She will watch. She'll be happy we're here.'

Suits has been winning over a new legion of fans lately after becoming available for streaming on Netflix in 2023.

It became an unlikely hit of the summer after it was canceled in 2019.

The Duchess's final episode as Zane, a role she has played since 2010, aired in April 2018, a month before her wedding at Windsor Castle.

Daily Mail revealed that the late Queen Elizabeth was distraught when she heard about the royal couple's claim that they had received her blessing to name their daughter Lilibet. The couple who were in the photo this year

As for her husband, Prince Harry was seen earlier this week for the first time since the Daily Mail revealed that the late Queen Elizabeth was distraught when she heard about the royal couple's claim that they had gotten her blessing to name their daughter Lilibet.

The Duke of Sussex looked pensive in the crisp January weather of Santa Barbara, California, on Tuesday morning when he was spotted jogging in a black jacket and matching shorts, seemingly with a frowning, serious expression.

It came just days after Robert Hardman's new biography revealed the late Queen's anger over the claim in 2021 that she had given them her blessing to use her childhood nickname.

A member of Queen Elizabeth's staff said she was “as angry as I've ever seen her” after Harry and Meghan publicly stated they would not have used her private family nickname if she had not been “supportive.”

The queen was so upset that she told the aides: 'I don't own the palaces, I don't own the paintings, all I own is my name. And now they've taken that with them.'
