THEl 2026 of Meghan Markle start with a post Instagram which anticipates important changes. The unpublished photos with her husband Harry and daughter Lilibet, the bucolic images of hot drinks consumed in the garden, fruit, candles and messages written in her elegant handwriting, are accompanied by a personal message: «January: Reset & Rituals». And the duchess’s intention is clear: with the new year comes the time to click the “reset” button both for herself and for her brand As Ever. With an important priority: the gates of Montecito are ready to welcome King Charles.
Meghan Markle agrees: grandfather Carlo will finally meet his American grandchildren
Not being able to spend time with Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4 (the latter has not yet met her grandfather king) has always been one of the most painful regrets for Carlo, who appears to have put pressure on his son Harry during their last meeting in London. And the prince was waiting for nothing else: in this way, the rapprochement with the family (and the recovery of his Royal credentials) would be almost guaranteed. It remained to convince Meghan, always wary of the Windsors.

It seems, however, that Harry did not have to work very hard to convince the duchess, who even agreed to welcome Charles to Montecito next April, when the English king and queen will be on an official visit to Washington DC for the 250th anniversary of American independence. But will Camilla be present at the meeting?
Doubts about the presence of Queen Camilla
At Buckingham Palace they are already working to try to make Carlo’s dream come true, who wants nothing more than to hug his distant grandchildren. However, the presence of his wife Camilla is in doubt. After accusations made against his stepmother by Harry in his memoir Spare and in several interviews (he accused her of having worked in cahoots with the media to get rid of him and regain popularity in the eyes of the British), relations between Harry and the Queen are certainly not friendly. And Carlo could show up alone at the gates of the Sussex villa in Montecito.

Meghan Markle clicks the button reset
Markle has already mentioned in some interviews that she wants to rethink her various activities. In the coming months, it will make changes to its brand As Ever, undermined so far by criticism and failures. His many media projects are also under scrutiny, starting with the collaboration with Netflix and by doubts about the future of lifestyle series With Love, Meghan. And while the foundation’s philanthropic activities Archewell of Sussex (who recently changed his name to Archewell Philanthropies) are going through a period of crisis, with sudden resignations by those in charge and skyrocketing costs, attention shifts to Meghan’s unexpected return to celluloid.
2026, the year of Meghan’s return to Hollywood
After an eight-year hiatus, Meghan returns to being an actress with a small part in a film which, in reality, sees her playing only herself with only one line in the entire film (according to rumours, Markle did not even receive compensation). To be able to see Close Personal Friends at the cinema we will have to wait until the end of the year, but for Meghan this will only be the beginning. The names highlighted on the billboard are those of Lily Collins and Brie Larson, but all the publicity for the film is already focusing on the very brief presence of the duchess. Who has never put aside the dream of one day being the protagonist of a Hollywood blockbuster.
