Meghan Markle to return to acting after an eight-year break.

Meghan Markle, the American-born Duchess of Sussex, is making a return to her acting roots with a cameo in the upcoming film “Close Personal Friends.” The production, directed by Jason Orley, is currently filming in Pasadena, California, after commencing in London in September. This marks Markle’s first acting role since her departure from the set of the USA Network series “Suits” in 2017, where she captivated audiences as paralegal Rachel Zane for seven seasons.

In “Close Personal Friends,” Markle is reported to play a version of herself in this romantic comedy alongside notable co-stars Lily Collins, Brie Larson, Jack Quaid, and Henry Golding. Sources on set have suggested that Markle appeared relaxed and enthusiastic, warmly interacting with the cast and crew during her time on location. The film’s narrative follows a couple who forge a friendship with a celebrity couple during a vacation in Santa Barbara, California.

Markle’s return to the screen is viewed as a significant moment in her career, especially as she has received numerous acting offers since stepping back from her Hollywood career upon her engagement to Prince Harry. According to insiders, the role in “Close Personal Friends” feels particularly suitable for Markle, indicating her gradual reintegration into the entertainment industry. There is a sense of excitement among those involved in the project regarding her participation, which has been kept confidential until now.

Before her royal engagement, Markle had appeared in several films, including “Get Him to the Greek,” “The Candidate,” and “Horrible Bosses.” However, her exit from “Suits” marked a pivotal shift in her career trajectory, as she transitioned into royal life alongside Prince Harry. In 2020, the couple announced their decision to step back from their senior royal duties and relocated to California, which opened new avenues for their professional endeavors.

Since moving to the U.S., the couple has made waves with various projects, including Prince Harry’s memoir “Spare,” the Netflix documentary “Harry & Meghan,” and their podcast production company, Archewell Audio. Additionally, Markle launched a Netflix lifestyle series titled “With Love, Meghan,” which has garnered mixed reviews from critics since its debut.

With a promising film project on the horizon and a desire to return to her acting career, Meghan Markle appears to be navigating this next chapter with optimism and determination. As audiences await the release of “Close Personal Friends,” Markle’s revival in the film industry is being closely watched by fans and media alike.
