Meghan Markle is reported to have quietly signed on to play herself in a new Hollywood film called Close Personal Friends, marking what could be her first on-screen role since joining the royal family in 2018.
Markle's past acting work on Suits, where her 'very sexy' portrayal of paralegal Rachel Zane is said to have unsettled some within the royal family, remains widely discussed. The duchess, now 44, starred in the US legal drama from 2011 until 2017, leaving the show shortly before her engagement to Prince Harry and her formal entry into royal life the following spring. That decision was widely viewed at the time as a clean break from Hollywood in favour of duties tied to her new royal status.
