Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are planning a prolonged return to the United Kingdom with their children, Archie and Lilibet, according to recent reports, prompting a playful public display from London’s Madame Tussauds museum alongside professional setbacks for the Duchess of Sussex. The family intends to remain private citizens without resuming official royal duties.
Madame Tussauds Welcomes the Sussexes With Luggage Installation
London’s Madame Tussauds museum greeted news of the couple’s upcoming travel plans with a tongue-in-cheek social media display. The institution posed wax figures of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex holding suitcases ready for departure, positioned next to a royal guard for a staged photograph. According to the museum, the setup was designed as a typical British welcome following reports that the family plans an extended stay in the UK.
Casting Negotiations for The Gentlemen Season 3 Reportedly Halted
For Meghan, the prospective return to her home country coincides with a significant career shift. Reuters reported that she was in advanced talks for a potential role in the third season of Guy Ritchie’s Netflix series The Gentlemen, though the project had not yet been officially ordered by the streaming platform. However, according to former Vanity Fair and The New Yorker editor Tina Brown, casting discussions were halted because public reaction in the UK to her possible involvement became too intense.
The Hollywood Reporter also covered the withdrawal of the proposal, though Netflix, representatives for Meghan, and Guy Ritchie have not issued official confirmations regarding the status of the talks. Had the agreement materialized, it would have marked Meghan’s most prominent return to acting since her departure from the legal drama Suits. After stepping away from her television career upon entering a relationship with Prince Harry, she recently took a step back toward film with an appearance in the upcoming comedy Close Personal Friends.
