Meghan Markle could return to the United Kingdom as soon as February, according to bookies.
Online betting outlet Casino Beats has placed 2/1 odds on the 44-year-old Duchess of Sussex attending London Fashion Week, which runs from February 19 to 23, 2026.
The outlet told Express UK the odds were set after Meghan’s surprise appearance at Paris Fashion Week, where she attended Balenciaga’s Spring 2026 show by creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli.
“Meghan Markle’s return to Europe has reignited her connection to the fashion world, and traders now see a London Fashion Week comeback as a very real possibility at 2/1,” said Casino Beats spokesperson Ollie Ring.
The British fashion event will showcase high-end designers including Burberry, Simone Rocha, Erdem and Roksanda-designers whom the Duchess has worn previously.
Markle has long spoken about her love of fashion and design, and her Paris Fashion Week debut has also sparked speculation that she could soon launch her own label.
On Monday, ELLE magazine described her Paris appearance as a “business move by someone building a media and lifestyle empire,” with writer Naomi May adding: “Make no mistake: Markle is systematically positioning herself as a serious player in the luxury lifestyle space.”
“The timing and intention behind her Paris debut signals something more strategic – she’s actively cultivating relationships with culture’s most influential power players.”
That sentiment was echoed by Ring, who added: “There’s also growing confidence she could take control of her own fashion narrative with a personal label – the 6/4 odds reflect genuine momentum behind that idea.”
“Whether it’s the Met Gala, the metaverse, or even hosting her own event, it’s clear Meghan’s influence in the style sphere is only expanding.”
Markle, who runs her lifestyle brand As Ever, has lived in the United States with her family since stepping back from royal duties in 2020.
While Harry has returned to his home country several times – most recently in September to see his father, King Charles III – Meghan has not visited since the late Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in 2022.
Her relationship with the royal family remains strained, particularly with the Prince and Princess of Wales.
However, she is thought to still maintain a friendship with Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank.
With the 76-year-old monarch continuing treatment for an unknown form of cancer, some believe Meghan’s potential visit could open the door to a rare royal reunion.
When asked by The Guardian in September whether he hoped to bring Archie and Lilibet back to the UK, Harry appeared optimistic.
“Yes I would. This week has definitely brought that closer,” he said.
