London - Meghan, Britain's Duchess of
Sussex, visited London's National Theatre as the venue's new
royal patron on Wednesday, watching a line-run of a Shakespeare
play and meeting aspiring performers.
But as theatre-trained Meghan briefly reconnected with her
acting past, a return to her former television series "Suits"
was all but ruled out by the show's creator.
Meghan, in a pale pink dress and jacket, met apprentices and
staff working with arts and community organisations before being
treated to a line-run of a new musical version of "Pericles".
The pregnant 37-year-old trained in theatre but gained
prominence for her television work. Before her romance with
Prince Harry was announced, the then Meghan Markle was best
known for playing Rachel Zane in U.S. legal drama "Suits", a
role she quit ahead of her marriage in May.
Fans had wondered whether she might ever return to the show
- even for a cameo in the final season - but on Tuesday "Suits"
creator and executive producer Aaron Korsh told a Television
Critics Association meeting in California that this was highly
unlikely.
"We're not currently pursuing asking Meghan Markle to leave
her position with the royal family and join us," Korsh was
quoted as saying by website Entertainment Tonight.
"I would love it but I think it's pretty close to zero."
While Meghan was at the theatre, her husband attended a
Commonwealth Youth Roundtable discussion.
