Meghan Markle is making headlines once again by returning to the screen, this time in a cameo role where she plays herself in the upcoming comedy film Close Personal Friends. The film, currently shooting in Pasadena, California, also stars Lily Collins, Brie Larson, Jack Quaid and Henry Golding. 

 

It marks Meghan’s first real acting gig since stepping away from full-time royal life and her role on Suits in 2017. The storyline of the film is somewhat metafictional: a “regular” couple befriends a celebrity pair during a Santa Barbara getaway — loosely echoing Meghan and Prince Harry’s own life in Montecito. 

 

Royal watchers are noting that this move could stir interesting reactions within the British Royal Family. Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams suggests the family may view Meghan’s acting revival with a degree of light-hearted irony — stating they may be “amused” that she’s returned to the “theatre” of screen if not the palace. 

 

While Meghan has not officially commented on the plot or her exact level of involvement, a set insider told PEOPLE magazine she appeared “relaxed and happy” on set and that the role is a small one. With her production company Archewell Productions continuing to flourish, this acting return may signal a new chapter in her post-royal career. 

 

Key Takeaways:

 

Meghan Markle returns to acting with a cameo as herself in Close Personal Friends, her first on-screen role since 2017.

 

Royal experts believe the British Royal Family may find her film comeback somewhat ironic or amusing given her prior exit.

 

On-set reports suggest Meghan is comfortable and in good spirits, signaling a positive start to this next phase of her career.

Hubby has been making noise about returning to the UK and she's been threatening to stay, so she may be looking for a financial parachute.

Harry is not in control of his chick.

 

She's defying his authority because he's weak and too much in love with her.

 

I give it 5 years max.
