Meghan Markle Might Be Tempted Back To 'Suits' For A Mega-Payday

Richard April 20, 2025

When Meghan Markle stepped into her role as the Duchess of Sussex, she also said a heartfelt goodbye to her life as Rachel Zane on the hit USA Network show Suits. But here's the twist—fans are buzzing with speculation about whether the royal might make a surprise return in Season 8. Recent reports suggest that producers are dangling a multi-million-dollar offer in front of her, tempting her to make a brief cameo appearance.

According to the Daily Star, executives at USA Network are hoping Meghan, now 37, will reprise her role for at least a couple of minutes. The catch? They're willing to pay her a hefty sum, which she could then donate to a charity of her choice. Now, that's an intriguing proposition, isn't it?

Breaking Down the Potential Cameo

Let’s dive into the details. A source close to the matter revealed that filming such a short appearance wouldn’t take long. "We could be done in half a day or less," the insider said. Negotiations are reportedly underway, and while no final figure has been decided, whispers in the industry suggest the offer could range anywhere from two to six million dollars. That's a staggering amount, but the source believes it would be "one of the biggest marketing coups in TV history." Imagine the buzz if the Duchess of Sussex graced our screens once more!

Meghan’s character, Rachel Zane, tied the knot with her law firm partner Mike Ross, portrayed by her good friend Patrick J. Adams, in her final episode back in April. Interestingly, both Meghan and Patrick exited the show at the same time, leaving fans wondering if their departure was planned or just a coincidence.

A Potential Storyline: Love and New Beginnings

If Meghan does decide to make a cameo, insiders have already brainstormed a storyline. “We could create a narrative where Rachel and Mike have built new lives for themselves and are starting a family, with Rachel sporting an obvious baby bump,” the source shared. “We could get away with just a few lines from Rachel, maybe something like, ‘I never imagined I’d have such a wonderful life.’ This storyline would beautifully mirror her real-life journey, making it all the more captivating for viewers.”

A former Suits colleague of Meghan’s chimed in, saying, “This is supposed to be a secret, but it’s kind of an open secret that they’d do anything to bring back both Meghan and Patrick as guest stars. The chemistry they had on-screen was unmatched.”

Would Meghan Take the Offer?

While the offer might sound tempting, don’t count on Meghan jumping at the chance. During her first official engagement interview with Prince Harry, she opened up about leaving Suits behind. “What’s been so exciting about transitioning out of my career and into focusing on the causes I care about is that you have a voice people listen to, and that comes with a lot of responsibility,” she said in November 2017.

She added, “It’s a new chapter for me. I spent seven amazing years working on Suits, and we were so fortunate to have that longevity. I feel like I’ve checked that box, and I’m incredibly proud of the work I did there.” Clearly, Meghan sees her future beyond the world of acting, and her focus seems to be on using her platform for meaningful change.

Closer Weekly reached out to USA Network regarding these reports, but they declined to comment. So, for now, we’ll just have to wait and see if Meghan decides to make a royal return to the small screen.
