Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is returning to acting after an eight-year hiatus. She has joined the cast of Amazon MGM Studios’ Close Personal Friends, which also stars Lily Collins, Brie Larson, Jack Quaid, and Henry Golding. According to sources, Meghan was “relaxed and happy” on set in California, introducing herself to the crew and impressing everyone with her down-to-earth attitude. Insiders described this project as her way of “gently putting her toe back in the water” and seeing how she enjoys being back on set.
Before marrying Prince Harry, Meghan had a solid acting and modeling career. She debuted in 2002 with a small role as a nurse in General Hospital, where her father worked as a lighting director. She also had guest roles in shows like Century City (2004), The War at Home (2005), and CSI: NY (2006), and appeared briefly as a “briefcase girl” in Deal or No Deal. She also starred in Fox’s Fringe during its second season.
On the big screen, Meghan appeared in films such as Get Him To The Greek, Remember Me, Horrible Bosses, and The Candidate. Her most prominent role, however, was as Rachel Zane on Suits (2011–2018), which brought her widespread recognition and acclaim.
After joining the Royal family and having children, Meghan stepped back from acting, focusing on royal duties and philanthropic work. Now, her role in Close Personal Friends marks a return to her original craft. With a high-profile cast and her own star power, fans are eagerly anticipating how her comeback will unfold, hoping it will be a major success for the Duchess.
Meghan’s return underscores her desire to balance her public and creative life while continuing to pursue her passion for acting.
