Meghan Markle is making a much-anticipated return to the acting scene, marking her first significant role in eight years. The Duchess of Sussex is set to join the cast of the upcoming film “Close Personal Friends,” which stars notable actors Jack Quaid, Lily Collins, and Brie Larson. Reports indicate that Meghan will portray herself in the film, which revolves around two couples: one famous and the other not. She was spotted on set recently in Pasadena, California, as part of the Amazon MGM Studios production.
A source connected to the production shared that this move represents a significant moment for Meghan, reaffirming her passion for acting. The insider mentioned that although she has received numerous offers since stepping away from Hollywood, this particular project resonated with her the most. “This is a massive moment for Meghan and signifies a return to doing what she truly loves,” the source noted.
Additionally, her husband, Prince Harry, is reportedly supportive of her decision to return to the screen. According to the same insider, “Prince Harry is, of course, really supportive and quite simply wants Meghan to do whatever brings her joy.”
Meghan originally stepped back from her acting career in 2017 after her engagement to Prince Harry, focusing instead on her royal duties. Reflecting on her decision to leave her role in “Suits,” she expressed pride in her work and conveyed enthusiasm about starting a new chapter with her husband. “I’ve ticked this box, and I feel very proud of the work I’ve done there, and now it’s time to work with [Harry] as a team,” she said at the time.
The enthusiasm surrounding Meghan’s comeback to acting highlights her desire to reconnect with her former passion while balancing her family life. Having stepped away from her on-screen roles during her transition to royal life, this opportunity seems to be a joyful reunion with her artistic roots. Fans and industry insiders alike are eagerly awaiting to see how Meghan’s return unfolds, showcasing her talents once more in the entertainment world.
