And in recent years, Meghan has become an entrepreneur and TV host of the Netflix series, <i>With Love, Meghan<\/i>. <\/p>\n<p>But it seems she has always looked back on her acting career fondly. During her time in Hollywood, Meghan appeared in movies such as <i>Horrible Bosses <\/i>and<i> Remember Me<\/i>, and got her big break in the TV legal series <i>Suits<\/i>, on which she appeared from 2011 to 2017. <\/p>\n<p>In a recent <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"body-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=V-NxqQ0a9yQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Aspire with Emma Grede<\/a> podcast, Meghan did admit to missing being on set.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes,\u201d she said when asked if she missed acting. \u201cBut you know what, actually, having a large team, being back on set with <i>With Love, Meghan <\/i>was great, because I realised how much I missed my crew. I love being around a crew.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>In the podcast, she explained she was not able to properly farewell the crew on <i>Suits<\/i>, because her departure from the show was so hush-hush as her relationship with Harry was not public knowledge when they filmed the final season. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was such a unique time, because we couldn\u2019t say that I was leaving, necessarily,\u201d she said on the podcast. \u201cIt was speculated. So, after seven years on the series, we couldn\u2019t have a going away party. I couldn\u2019t say my goodbyes \u2026 If my crew\u2019s watching, I miss you guys. I wish I could have said bye.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meghan said that filming her Netflix series certainly reignited her passion for being among creatives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think for me, having the series, even though it wasn\u2019t scripted, was really great to get that piece back,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut then also building my own business, you have a team, and that\u2019s really what I was craving.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"topics g_font-body-s\"><span class=\"title\">Read related topics:<\/span><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"topic_tag\" href=\"https:\/\/www.news.com.au\/topics\/meghan-markle\" data-tgev-container=\"story-topic-links\" data-tgev-label=\"Meghan Markle\" data-tgev-order=\"1\" data-tgev-metric=\"npv\" data-tgev=\"event10\">Meghan Markle<\/a><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"topic_tag\" href=\"https:\/\/www.news.com.au\/topics\/queen-elizabeth-ii\" data-tgev-container=\"story-topic-links\" data-tgev-label=\"Queen Elizabeth II\" data-tgev-order=\"2\" data-tgev-metric=\"npv\" data-tgev=\"event10\">Queen Elizabeth II<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.news.com.au \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meghan Markle is reportedly making a shock return to acting eight years after quitting Hollywood to join the royal family.
