Meghan Markle in talks for acting role in Netflix series 'The Gentlemen'

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is reportedly considering a return to acting with a potential role in the Netflix series 'The Gentlemen.' Sources cited by the BBC and Sky News indicate that negotiations are in their initial stages, and the specific nature of her role remains undisclosed.

Should she join the cast, Markle would appear in the show's third season, although the series itself has not yet been formally renewed. 'The Gentlemen,' created by Guy Ritchie, stars Theo James and follows a duke's transition into the world of drug trafficking. Its second season is set to premiere on September 3.

This potential acting venture comes amid reports that Prince Harry and his family are planning to move back to the UK from their home in the United States. The couple, along with their children Archie and Lilibet, reportedly plan to enroll their children in a school and reside in a non-royal property outside London. The exact location of their new residence is currently unknown.

Markle, formerly known as Rachel Zane in the legal drama 'Suits,' left acting after her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018. Her last appearance on 'Suits' was in that year. She has since made a cameo appearance as herself in the upcoming comedy 'Close Personal Friends.' During their potential UK stay, Markle also aims to expand the global reach of her lifestyle brand, As Ever. The cost of the Sussexes' security, which was removed when they stepped back from royal duties in 2020, remains a point of public discussion, with estimates suggesting an annual cost of around 5 million pounds if borne by British taxpayers.
