The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has officially made her return to acting after an eight-year break. She was spotted on the set of the new film “Close Personal Friends,” where she will portray herself alongside notable co-stars including Lily Collins, Brie Larson, Jack Quaid, and Henry Golding.
This production by Amazon MGM Studios centers around two couples, contrasting one famous pair with a non-famous one. Meghan previously played the role of Rachel Zane in the hit series “Suits” but stepped back from acting in 2017, shortly after her relationship with Prince Harry gained public attention.
A source shared with The Sun that this marks a significant moment for Meghan, as it signifies her return to a passion she truly loves. Although she has received numerous offers, this opportunity resonated with her. The source added, “It is Meghan’s way of gently putting her toe back in the water and seeing how she enjoys being back on set. Everyone involved is super-excited and have been sworn to secrecy about her involvement.”
Prince Harry has reportedly been very supportive of Meghan’s decision, wanting her to pursue activities that bring her happiness. Earlier this year, Meghan expressed on the “Aspire with Emma Grede” podcast that she occasionally misses acting and regrets not being able to say goodbye to her “Suits” crew, indicating her enduring love for the craft.
This return to acting not only opens a new chapter for Meghan but could also signal a fresh start in pursuing her professional aspirations, away from royal obligations. It’s a hopeful development that demonstrates her desire to reconnect with a career that has always been close to her heart.
