Former working royal Meghan Markle is reportedly nostalgic for her old life dating Hollywood A-listers and may be regretting her marriage to Prince Harry.
“Meghan has made no secret of how much she misses the carefree life she had as an actress,” a source close to the Duchess of Sussex told the outlet.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved to Montecito, California in 2020 after leaving the British royal family in the scandal forever known as “Megxit.”
“While she has no plans to change her relationship with Harry or the kids, there is a part of her that would like her life back,” they added. “She loved being on Suits and all the opportunities it brought – she was invited to all the exclusive events and got to hang out with some of Hollywood’s biggest names, but with far less scrutiny, attention and pressure.”
But the Duchess may be ready to step in front of the cameras again, despite four years of intense scrutiny since Megxit.
Another source close to the Sussex camp said: “She feels now is the right time to start considering offers as she knows she’ll be criticised no matter what she does, so she wants to deal with the backlash and do what makes her happy.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to be “struggling in Hollywood” after production at Netflix stalled and Spotify cut ties with the couple.
The soon-to-be Duchess met Prince Harry in the summer of 2016, and the couple announced their engagement in November 2017 and married on May 19, 2018.
“Harry often feels guilty that Meghan has to give up her dream life. He knows how much she sacrificed to marry him and have a family, so he will support her no matter what,” the source continued.
While Queen Elizabeth, who is fifth in line to the throne, is said to be regretting her wife’s decision, the former actress is said to be preparing to step back into the spotlight.
“She has a lot of work commitments coming up but this is just the beginning of Meghan’s big comeback and she will do things her own way,” the source said. “She loved being on Suits and all the opportunities it brought. She got invited to all the exclusive events and hung out with some of Hollywood’s biggest names, but with much less scrutiny and attention so there was no pressure on her.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed on Netflix’s Harry & Meghan that their 2017 engagement interview was “staged.”
The researchers concluded: “She knows she will be criticized no matter what she does, so she wants to deal with the backlash, do what makes her happy, and feels like the time is right to start considering offers.”
But Meghan’s fresh start may be a little more difficult this time around.
“Because Harry and Meghan are estranged from the royal family, they’ve been left off guest lists for friends’ weddings and other events,” a separate source recently spilled. “There are real concerns that if the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were invited to weddings and christenings, the family could be excluded from social circles, which would be one of the biggest blunders possible.”
The new “Sussex” moniker is said to be a reference to how the pair are now perceived in Hollywood and Soho, London’s West End.
