Meghan Markle’s acting return dubbed ‘millionth reinvention’
Meghan Markle’s return to acting has been dubbed another “reinvention” by a royal commentator
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, is set to make a cameo appearance in Jason Orley’s Close Personal Friends. She will play herself in the small role, which is a return tot he screen for the duchess after seven years of hiatus.
Meghan exited the entertainment industry before tying the knot with Prince Harry in 2018. At the time, she played Rachel Zane on hit legal drama Suits.
YouTube star, Leilani of Barbados, told the Express: “I think she’s been practising acting for the five years or so as she’s been cosplaying business women, philanthropists, trad wives or whatever is trending at the moment.”
She added, “Meghan has never been known as a big screen actress. She’s a cable TV actress. This is not a comeback into acting by any means, but instead her millionth reinvention.”
Leilani went on to declare Meghan “unwatchable, un-listenable, and unbearable.”
According to a source, Meghan is dipping her toes into the entertainment industry to see how things go.
“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. Everyone involved is super-excited, and have been sworn to secrecy about her involvement,” they added.

Bryan Cranston has delivered a sharp dig at Shia LaBeouf after his Malcolm in the Middle co-star Frankie Muniz revealed he had been set to star in Holes before dropping out, with Cranston’s advice to LaBeouf cutting right to the point.
In a new Esquire video interview, Muniz, 40, told Cranston he had been attached to play the lead role of Stanley Yelnats in Disney’s 2003 film before a competing offer arrived.
“I was signed to be in the movie Holes, and it was 100% about to start filming and then Cody Banks was greenlit,” he explained.
“They were like, ‘Which one do you want to do?'” Muniz chose Agent Cody Banks, despite pressure from those around him to take the more dramatic role.
LaBeouf stepped in and the rest is history, Holes helped launch his career.
Muniz was reflective about the road not taken.
“I wonder what my career or life would’ve been [had I done Holes instead]. What could’ve come with it? Would I have been taken more seriously as an actor?”
Cranston’s response was instant.
“You could’ve had Shia LaBeouf’s life,” he said with a sarcastic scoff and a whistle, before adding: “Keep that one in. Shia, get some help!”
The comment lands with weight given LaBeouf’s recent history.
Just last month, the actor was arrested in New Orleans after getting into a fight during Mardi Gras. LaBeouf’s troubles predate the New Orleans incident.
He was court-ordered to attend rehab following a 2017 arrest in Georgia for public intoxication, and a lawsuit filed against him by FKA Twigs alleging sexual battery, assault and infliction of emotional distress was settled last July.
Muniz, meanwhile, appears to have made peace with his decision, noting that his path led him back to Malcolm in the Middle and, eventually, a very different kind of life as a NASCAR driver.
