Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, is reportedly returning to acting, as she, Prince Harry and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, move back to the United Kingdom.

A report Friday in the Australian outlet news.com.au said Meghan has been “offered a role in an upcoming project based in the UK.” No further details have been released.

A source close to Meghan and Harry indicated to ABC News the report is accurate. The Sussexes have not commented publicly on Meghan’s potential return to acting, nor have they commented on their upcoming move to the U.K., which comes six years after the couple stepped away from their senior royal roles and moved to the United States.

Since 2020, the Sussexes have lived in California, where Meghan was born and raised.

The 45-year-old was a full-time actress in the U.S. and Canada before she married Harry in 2018 and gave up her acting career. When she met Harry, Meghan was starring in Suits, a USA Network legal drama, in which she portrayed paralegal Rachel Zane for seven seasons.

The show enjoyed a popular resurgence in 2023 when it became available to stream on Netflix.

Meghan’s Suits co-stars attended her and Harry’s wedding in Windsor, England, including Patrick J. Adams, Gabriel Macht, Sarah Rafferty, Abigail Spencer, Gina Torres and Rick Hoffman.

Meghan told Variety in 2022 that she believed she was “done” with acting, saying, “I guess never say never, but my intention is to absolutely not.”

Upon stepping away from their royal roles, Harry and Meghan struck a production deal with Netflix, which led to their Harry & Meghan six-part docuseries in 2022 and two seasons of With Love, Meghan, which featured Meghan showing lifestyle and cooking tips.

No plans have been announced for Harry and Meghan to resume their senior royal roles when they return to the U.K.

A source familiar with the matter told ABC News that Harry’s father, King Charles III, is clear there are no plans to alter Harry and Meghan’s role and status as private individuals and non-working royals, in keeping with their agreement over the past years.

(WASHINGTON) — A representative for the late actress Hayden Panettiere issued a brief statement Thursday after the Drug Enforcement Administration joined the investigation into her death earlier this week.

Panettiere, known for her roles in “Ice Princess,” “Heroes,” “Nashville” and more, died Sunday at age 36.

In a statement shared with ABC News on Thursday, Panettiere’s representative said, “There’s nothing to be shared at this time as the investigation is ongoing but we are hopeful that justice will be served.”

The DEA joined the investigation into Panettiere’s death on Wednesday, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The Greenville City Police Department in South Carolina is the lead investigative agency, and the DEA is assisting.

News of the DEA joining the investigation came one day after Greenville police released a report detailing the scene at the private residence where Panettiere was found in cardiac arrest and later pronounced dead.

According to that report, an officer arrived at the residence on Easley Bridge Road in Greenville on Sunday, responding to an EMS assist for an unresponsive individual.

The officer said that Panettiere was with her on-again, off-again boyfriend Brian Hickerson and his brother, Zack Hickerson, when she died.

According to the police report, it is unknown if Panettiere was using drugs or alcohol at the time of her death, although the officer added in the report that Brian Hickerson had shown them the bag of medication that Panettiere was taking.

Officials arrived on scene to assist in the investigation, and the coroner was also on scene to conduct their investigation.

Panettiere’s official cause and manner of death “remain pending further investigation and the completion of additional studies,” the coroner’s office said in a press release on Monday.

Prior to her death, Panettiere had been candid about her struggles from child stardom through adulthood.

She released a memoir this May titled “This Is Me: A Reckoning,” in which she shared “a rare and intimate glimpse into her life behind closed doors, opening up about postpartum depression, addiction and recovery, trauma, domestic abuse, and loss,” according to a synopsis for her book.

Across Hollywood, many have been mourning the actress’s death. Along with “Ice Princess,” “Heroes” and “Nashville,” Panettiere also starred in “Remember the Titans,” “Raising Helen,” several “Scream” films and more.

Panettiere is survived by her daughter Kaya, whom she shared with her ex-fiance Wladimir Klitschko.

Keke Palmer has survived years in the game, and her longevity is partially due to advice she received from Queen Latifah. During an appearance on Amy Poehler’s Good Hang podcast, she shared that she learned from her mentor the importance of letting her work speak for itself.

“People are watching even when you don’t think they’re watching,” Keke said, recalling a lesson she learned from Queen. “It’s not what you say. It’s what you do.” She noted that Queen once referred her for a role after seeing her work ethic, professionalism and more.

“I just remember thinking in that moment, ‘Wow, my work ethic precedes me,’” she continued. “The way that I continue to move into the game, it’s going to count for something at some point.”

Keke and Queen previously worked together on Barbershop 2: Back in Business as well as 2012’s Joyful Noise and Ice Age: Continental Drift. They are also set to appear on NBC’s The Voice: Celebrity, with Keke serving as host and Queen taking on a judge’s role.
