As Meghan Markle returns to the screen, the Palace highlights Prince William’s Earthshot success while staying silent on her royal status.
Buckingham Palace has released its first public message following news of Meghan Markle’s return to acting, a move that has once again sparked widespread discussion about her royal ties.
On November 6, the royal family’s official social media accounts shifted the spotlight to Prince William, celebrating the success of his fifth Earthshot Prize Awards Ceremony. The Palace shared a series of photos featuring the Prince of Wales with climate activists, innovators, and celebrities, commending his continued efforts to address climate change.
In its message, the Palace wrote, “The Earthshot Prize, founded by The Prince, is a global challenge to find, support and celebrate those who turn bold ideas into real solutions to repair our planet.” The post added that the event was “a moment of celebration, highlighting the impact achieved by past Earthshot Winners and Finalists, and sparking the imaginations of young people around the world who could be future Prize Winners.”
This comes shortly after reports confirmed Meghan Markle’s surprising return to acting. According to The Sun, she was recently spotted on the set of Close Personal Friends, a new film currently being shot in California. People magazine later confirmed that Meghan has a “small role” in the project, though further details remain under wraps.
The Duchess of Sussex, who stepped away from acting after marrying Harry in 2018, is best known for her role in the hit legal drama Suits. Her decision to return to Hollywood has raised questions about whether it could affect her royal title, especially in light of King Charles and Prince William’s firm stance on maintaining the monarchy’s standards.
So far, Buckingham Palace has made no comment regarding Meghan’s royal status or her return to the entertainment industry.
