The 32-year-old, who became the first royal to cameo on a Hollywood movie when she made a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearance as a lady-in-waiting in 2009 period drama The Young Victoria, is said to be keen to “pursue her love of acting”.
“She caught the bug more than 10 years ago but it was not seen as proper for a young royal to become an actress,” a source reveals.
“Now, with an actress in the family and the Queen’s rules being relaxed on her grandchildren, she feels now could be the time.
“It helps that she has a cousin and his TV star wife in America to give her a foot in the door. Meghan has few friends left in the royal family at this point and is keen to help Beatrice.
“They’ve been exchanging emails about making something happen possibly next year.”
It had been reported earlier in the year that Princess Beatrice and her new husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzie, could be having some trouble in paradise, which would mean the possible move to Hollywood could have a sadder meaning behind it.
Bea and Edo secretly wed last July at Windsor Castle in the midst of the global pandemic. And if that wasn’t stressful enough, Beatrice has also long been struggling with the backlash against her disgraced dad, Prince Andrew, 60.
“Poor Bea. It’s been a very tough few months for her and she has spent most of it being completely stressed out,” tells an insider.
“She’s tried her best not to let all of the drama affect her marriage, but with current lockdowns and everything going on with her father, it’s really taken a toll on them.”
Friends are said to be worried the couple’s marriage could soon be in crisis if Beatrice doesn’t start working through some of her family issues now.
