Meghan Markle is poised to send shockwaves through the royal family with a stunning career move that will see her return to acting eight years after retiring from Hollywood. The Duchess of Sussex has reportedly joined the cast of a new film, Close Personal Friends, alongside an all-star ensemble including Oscar winner Brie Larson, Lily Collins, Jack Quaid, and Henry Golding.
In a dramatic development, Meghan will play herself in the Amazon MGM Studios production, which is currently filming in Pasadena, Los Angeles. The movie’s plot remains shrouded in secrecy, but it’s understood to revolve around two couples, one famous and one not.
A studio source revealed that Meghan’s return to acting is a “massive moment” for the Duchess, allowing her to “put her toe back in the water” and rediscover her passion for the craft. “Everyone involved is super excited, and have been sworn to secrecy about her involvement,” the insider added.
Prince Harry is said to be fully behind Meghan’s decision, simply wanting her to do what brings her joy. The couple’s support for each other is a hallmark of their relationship, with Harry recently being named Humanitarian of the Year alongside Meghan.
Meghan’s acting career began in 2006 with a stint as a briefcase model on the US version of Deal or No Deal. She later shot to stardom as Rachel Zane in the legal drama Suits, appearing in seasons from 2011 to 2017. The Duchess has since appeared in films like Horrible Bosses and Remember Me, but has not revisited her acting roots since marrying Prince Harry in 2018.
As Meghan Markle prepares to make her acting comeback, fans and critics alike will be watching with bated breath to see how the Duchess fares in her new role. One thing is certain – this is a move that will send shockwaves through the royal family and beyond.
