After years of being away, Meghan Markle is now all set to make her return to films, according to reports, resuming her acting career. She is believed to have a small role in the film Close Personal Friends, marking her first acting project in eight years after she became a part of the royal family.

Meghan Markle to make her acting comeback


According to a Variety report, Meghan Markle will be seen in the upcoming comedy film titled Close Personal Friends. The film stars Lily Collins, Jack Quaid, Brie Larson, and Henry Golding i the lead roles. Meghan will be seen in a small cameo role in the film; however, the details about her character have been kept under wraps by the makers. The film's shooting is currently happening in Los Angeles.



Talking about the Duchess of Sussex's part, a source reportedly told People, "Meghan was on the set today. She has a small part. She seemed very relaxed and happy. She introduced herself to everyone and was very sweet and down-to-earth."

Notably, the film marks Meghan Markle's first comeback to acting ever since she became a part of the royal family eight years ago. She exited Suits in 2017, after she announced her engagement to Prince Harry. "This is a massive moment for Meghan and signifies a return to doing what she truly loves. She has been swamped with offers, but this one felt right. It is Meghan's way of gently putting her toe back in the water and seeing how she enjoys being back on set," another source told People.

Meanwhile, after tying the knot in 2018, Meghan and Harry stepped back from their royal roles in 2020. The couple is currently splitting their time between Santa Barbara and the UK with their kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. 

About Close Personal Friends

Close Personal Friends reportedly focuses on the story of a "regular" couple that meets a celebrity couple during their trip to Santa Barbara. However, it is when the two couples become friends that things start getting awkward and lines are crossed.

Directed by Jason Orley, the film's screenplay comes from Isaac Aptaker, who is also producing alongside Elizabeth Berger. Among other cast members are Melissa Villasenor, Natasha Demetriou, Anna Konkle, Patti Harrison, Jack Shalloo, and Dustin Demri-Burns.
