Meghan Markle has an offer: The truth behind her d…

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s decision to return to the UK has raised plenty of questions. After leaving Britain in 2020 and building a new life in California, the couple are now preparing to move back with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

But according to fresh reports, Meghan may have another reason to welcome the move: a new career opportunity.

The Duchess of Sussex has reportedly been offered a British television role, with the potential project being described as a major acting opportunity. Reports suggest the offer could mark Meghan’s first significant acting role in around eight years. However, details about the production and whether she has formally accepted the role have not been confirmed. (Nine⁠)

The timing has naturally fueled speculation.

Meghan was an actress before joining the Royal Family. She became widely known for playing Rachel Zane on Suits, but stepped away from acting after marrying Harry in 2018. Since leaving royal life, she has focused on producing, philanthropy and her lifestyle business, As Ever.

Her reported acting offer could therefore represent a surprising return to the career she left behind.

Still, the acting opportunity is only one part of the story. Harry and Meghan are preparing to establish themselves in Britain again, with their children expected to begin school there in September. The family will reportedly live in a private, non-royal residence outside London rather than returning to a royal property. (The Guardian⁠)

Their decision also appears connected to family.

Harry recently reunited with his father, King Charles, during a private visit. The meeting was significant because Charles had not seen Archie and Lilibet since 2022. Reports suggest Harry wants his children to have a stronger relationship with their British relatives and for the family to spend more time together. (Page Six⁠)

Meghan’s reported acting offer may make the UK more attractive professionally, but it does not mean the couple are returning as working royals. They will remain private citizens and will not resume official royal duties. (The Guardian⁠)

The Sussexes are also expected to keep their Montecito home, meaning the move does not necessarily signal a permanent goodbye to America. Instead, it appears to be an attempt to build a life that connects both sides of the Atlantic. (People.com⁠)

For Meghan, a return to British television could bring her career back to where her public story changed forever. Whether the reported role becomes reality remains to be seen, but the possibility adds another intriguing layer to the Sussexes’ unexpected return.

    Rain expected across Pakistan amid flood alert

    Rainfall is expected at several locations across Punjab, Balochistan, upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan and Kashmir, with weather conditions likely to remain unsettled in parts of the country. According to the Flood Forecasting Division (FFD) Lahore, low-level flooding is continuing at several key barrages along the Indus River. The affected locations include Kalabagh, Chashma, Taunsa and Guddu, where water levels remain elevated. The latest situation has prompted continued monitoring of river flows, particularly at locations where water levels are already above normal. The expected rainfall in different parts of the country could influence water flows in rivers and streams, depending on the intensity and duration of the showers. The FFD keeps a close watch on river conditions and provides updates to relevant authorities to help them assess possible flooding risks. Local administrations in vulnerable areas are also expected to remain alert as weather conditions develop. Residents living near rivers, canals and other low-lying areas have been advised to remain cautious and follow instructions issued by local authorities. People travelling through areas vulnerable to heavy rainfall or flooding are also encouraged to stay updated on weather and river conditions. The rainfall forecast comes as several parts of the country continue to experience varying weather patterns. While scattered showers may provide relief from hot and humid conditions in some areas, heavier rainfall could increase runoff and raise water levels in vulnerable waterways.

    ECP backs Punjab polls from December 15

    The Election Commission of Pakistan has agreed in principle to hold long-delayed local government elections in Punjab between December 15, 2026, and January 15, 2027. The decision was reached during an ECP meeting chaired by Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja on Thursday. The meeting was held to discuss the proposed schedule and preparations for local polls in the province. A Punjab government delegation attended the meeting. The delegation included Local Government Minister Zeeshan Rafiq, Mines and Minerals Minister Sardar Sher Ali Gorchani, Agriculture Minister Syed Muhammad Ashiq Hussain Shah and Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat. The Punjab chief secretary and senior local government officials were also present. The ECP was informed that the delimitation process for Punjab had been completed, clearing an important hurdle in preparations for the elections. Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja stressed that elected local governments are a constitutional requirement under Article 140-A. He also pointed out that election authorities are legally required to conduct local government elections within the prescribed period after the expiry of elected local bodies. Punjab officials said the provincial government needed sufficient time to complete administrative preparations, arrange financial resources and deploy staff for the electoral process. The provincial government proposed the December 15 to January 15 window as the most suitable period for polling. Officials said school examinations would have concluded by then, allowing educational staff to be available for election duties. The government also cited weather conditions as a factor. Holding the elections during the proposed period could help avoid difficulties associated with heavy fog during other parts of the winter season. Punjab authorities further informed the ECP that they preferred conducting the elections in phases. Officials said phased polling would allow better security arrangements and make it easier for the administration to manage the large-scale electoral exercise. The ECP accepted the proposed timeframe in principle and directed the Punjab government to submit a detailed plan promptly if it wanted the elections to be conducted in multiple phases. The commission said the proposed arrangements could help move the province toward fulfilling its constitutional obligation of establishing elected local governments. The Punjab government has already allocated Rs12.52 billion for the local elections. It has also approved the recruitment of 900 Union Council secretaries to support the functioning of local bodies. Punjab has not held local government elections since 2015. The previous polls were conducted in several phases between October and December that year. The elected local councils began functioning in 2017 after mayors and chairpersons were selected through indirect elections. The local governments were dissolved in April 2019 by the then Punjab government before completing their full term. The Supreme Court subsequently ordered their restoration, and the councils eventually completed their tenure on December 31, 2021. Since then, local government elections have remained pending amid repeated changes to Punjab’s local government laws. Successive provincial administrations amended or replaced the relevant legislation, forcing the ECP to repeatedly revise its preparations and carry out fresh delimitation exercises.

    Dr Nigat Shah clarifies JPMC contract extension

    Professor Dr Nigat Shah, head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC), has clarified that her contract-based employment extension will not affect the posting or promotion of any associate professor. Speaking to the media, Dr Shah said several gynaecology units at JPMC had remained closed since 2013. She said one of the closed units was revived in 2022 to expand medical services and provide treatment to patients. She added that the department is continuing patient care alongside postgraduate training and research. According to Dr Shah, the hospital needs more specialised doctors, and she has no objection to the appointment of any qualified medical professional. Dr Shah stressed that her objective was not to create obstacles for another doctor’s appointment or career progression. She said her contract extension should not be viewed as an attempt to block the posting or promotion of any associate professor. The clarification comes after senior associate professors at Jinnah Sindh Medical University (JSMU) reportedly raised concerns over Dr Shah’s reappointment. Several affected professors wrote to the Sindh chief minister, Sindh health minister and the federal ombudsman, expressing reservations about the decision. In their letter, the professors claimed that the second paragraph of a Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) notification issued on May 19 had been overlooked. They further maintained that the reappointment could affect the promotions of six associate professors who are awaiting advancement to higher positions. The professors have sought the authorities’ attention to the matter and called for the relevant rules and regulations to be considered while deciding appointments and promotions.

    Asma Abbas faces criticism over husband’s second marriage

    Asma Abbas is a well-known Pakistani television actress who has earned praise for her performances in several popular dramas, including Ranjha Ranjha Kardi, Khumaar, Akbari Asghari, GT Road, Baby Baji Ki Bahuwain, and Radd. She is also the mother of actress Zara Noor Abbas. Asma Abbas is married to retired Colonel Ghulam Abbas, who was previously married. The actress has spoken openly about their relationship and revealed that her husband fell in love with her and wanted to have children with her, which eventually led to their marriage. She has also maintained that she shared a good relationship with his first wife and lived peacefully with her until her death. Recently, Asma Abbas appeared on the television show Zabardast, hosted by Wasi Shah, alongside her husband. During the conversation, retired Colonel Ghulam Abbas shared details about what happened after he married Asma. He explained that his first wife initially moved to the United States after his second marriage. According to him, she told him that she wanted to visit her sister in America, and he helped arrange her visa. She left their child behind and returned to Pakistan around six months later. The retired army officer said that after her return, she continued to have an important place in their household. He recalled that the bedroom remained hers while he moved to Quetta for work. He also praised both women for staying with him despite the difficulties associated with his postings and career. Ghulam Abbas expressed gratitude toward his first wife and Asma, saying that they supported him through difficult periods and made his life easier. He further credited his first wife for accepting the situation and revealed that the two women eventually became close friends. According to him, there was even a point when Asma and his first wife would join forces against him during disagreements, turning their relationship into an unexpected friendship. However, the couple’s comments did not receive a positive response from everyone. Several social media users criticized Asma Abbas and her husband, arguing that the discussion appeared to overlook the emotional impact of a second marriage on the first wife. One commenter accused the couple of glorifying the second marriage and questioned why a married man would be pursued in the first place. Another described Asma as a “homewrecker” and argued that the first wife was the one who ultimately had to bear the consequences. Some users also challenged the narrative surrounding the first wife, particularly claims about her family life and children. Others questioned the decision to publicly discuss the circumstances of the marriage in a celebratory manner. While Asma Abbas and her husband presented their relationship as one that eventually became peaceful and respectful, the interview sparked a wider debate online about second marriages, the rights and emotions of first wives, and the complicated dynamics that can arise within families.
