No scripted role since 2018 — and now a UK part is reportedly on the table. Her career in nine chapters, ending with what she is worth today.

It Started With a Briefcase

From 2006 to 2007 she held case number 24 on Deal or No Deal, appearing in 34 episodes. Steady paid work, but nobody was learning her name.

The One-Episode Years

Before any regular role she cycled through single episodes: CSI: NY, Castle, Fringe, 90210, Knight Rider. One credit at a time, for years.

Films, in Slivers

Movie work came in fragments: a scene in Remember Me in 2010, a bit part in Horrible Bosses in 2011. Both were minutes long on screen.

Then Came Rachel Zane

Suits cast her in 2011 as paralegal Rachel Zane. The show ran seven seasons with her in it and made her recognisable worldwide.

The Arc Fans Followed

Rachel failed the LSAT, chased law school anyway, and fell for Mike Ross. That slow-burn romance carried the show for years.

She Walked Away in 2018

Her final Suits episode aired in April 2018, weeks before her May wedding. She has not taken a scripted acting role since.

A Different Kind of Work

After stepping back from royal duties in 2020, the work moved behind the camera: a Netflix deal, a Spotify podcast, and a 2022 docuseries.

So What Is She Worth?

Published estimates vary widely. The figure most often quoted for the Sussexes' combined fortune is around $60 million — media deals, books, brands.

Back on a Film Set

She filmed a cameo as herself for the Amazon MGM comedy Close Personal Friends, alongside Lily Collins and Brie Larson. Her first screen work in years.

The Role That Closes the Gap

With the family reportedly moving to Britain, she is said to be weighing a UK role. It would be her first scripted part since Rachel Zane.
