Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is making her return to acting with a cameo in the upcoming comedy film “Close Personal Friends,” alongside Lily Collins, Jack Quaid, Brie Larson, and Henry Golding. This marks her first acting role since leaving her part as Rachel Zane in the popular TV series “Suits” eight years ago, following her engagement to Prince Harry.
The film, directed by Jason Orley, revolves around a “regular” couple that meets a celebrity couple during their trip to Santa Barbara, leading to awkward and comedic situations. Meghan will play herself in the film, rather than taking on a fictional character. Sources close to the project say she’s been spotted on set, appearing relaxed and happy, and has been introducing herself to the crew.
This return to acting is a significant moment for Meghan, who has been focusing on her royal duties and other projects since leaving “Suits.” Her husband, Prince Harry, is reportedly very supportive of her decision, wanting her to do whatever brings her joy. The film has no confirmed release date yet, but fans are eagerly awaiting Meghan’s return to the screen.
