- Meghan is in talks for a role in Netflix series 'The Gentlemen,' her first major acting part since marrying Prince Harry.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly exploring new avenues for their personal brand as they transition back to life in the UK. Meghan is said to be in discussions for a role in Guy Ritchie's Netflix comedy series, 'The Gentlemen.' This potential role marks her first significant acting engagement since her marriage to Prince Harry.
Meanwhile, Meghan's lifestyle brand, 'As ever,' which offers products like jams and candles, remains active. The brand was initially supported by Netflix, though that partnership concluded in March. There is no indication that the brand will cease operations with the couple's potential move across the Atlantic.
There is still a lot of fascination with English country life, particularly in America, and she has the ability to bring that to a very large, global audience.
The couple is rumored to be considering a move to the Cotswolds, an area known for its affluent residents, where they have reportedly spent time recently. Laura Stoloff, a stylist and creative director, believes Meghan's lifestyle brand has a "natural connection" to the English country life associated with the Cotswolds. Stoloff suggests this could make the brand more distinctive, tapping into the global fascination with English country living.
However, brand expert Stephen warns that while a return to the UK might offer a "brand reset," repositioning a brand ultimately depends on actions rather than just location. "A postcode does not reposition a brand. Behaviour does," he stated.
A return to the UK could be a useful brand reset, but a postcode does not reposition a brand. Behaviour does.
