Duchess Meghan: Netflix Return in "The Gentlemen"?
Meghan Markle is reportedly in early talks for a significant acting role in Netflix's hit series, "The Gentlemen." Could this mark her highly anticipated return to the screen? Get the full scoop!
The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, is reportedly in early discussions for a potential acting role in the popular Netflix series, "The Gentlemen." This news, understood by the BBC, suggests a significant return to the screen for Meghan, marking her first major acting engagement since her marriage to Prince Harry.
While details of the role remain under wraps and discussions are in their preliminary stages, the prospect has generated considerable buzz. "The Gentlemen," created by Guy Ritchie, is a comedy series centered around a duke who unexpectedly becomes involved in the drug trade. Previous seasons, which have featured actors like Theo James, Hugh Bonneville, and Vinnie Jones, were largely filmed in the scenic Cotswolds.
Intriguingly, the Cotswolds is also the area where Prince Harry and Meghan are rumored to establish their UK base upon their return later this month. This potential move back to the UK, coupled with a high-profile acting role, signals a busy period for the Duchess.
Before becoming a senior working royal, Meghan was widely known for her seven-season portrayal of Rachel Zane in the US legal drama "Suits," with her last episode airing in 2018. She had previously stated that leaving acting for her royal duties was not a sacrifice, but rather a step into a "new chapter." While this would be her first significant role, she recently made a cameo as herself in the upcoming comedy "Close Personal Friends," starring Lily Collins and Brie Larson.
A return to acting could be a lucrative venture for Meghan. Furthermore, while based in the UK, she reportedly aims to broaden the global reach of her US-based lifestyle and cooking brand, As Ever. This potential acting comeback follows recent announcements regarding Prince Harry and Meghan's intention to relocate from the US to the UK.
