Meghan reportedly discusses role in Guy Ritchie’s Netflix drama
Developed over time first seen 2 months ago
The Daily Mail reported that Meghan Markle is in talks to appear in Guy Ritchie's Netflix drama "The Gentlemen", with the potential role reportedly timed to coincide with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's expected return to the UK after six years living in the United States. The claim, attributed to unnamed insiders rather than any official confirmation from Meghan, Netflix or the production, would mark a notable re-entry into British screen work and public life for the former actress alongside the couple's wider relocation.
Details remain sparse, with talks described only as ongoing and no confirmation of a role, timeline or contract terms. The report sits within a broader run of Daily Mail coverage on the Sussexes' anticipated UK homecoming, including claims that Prince William and Kate have "no interest in engaging" with the couple and reporting on strained family relationships, though none of these surrounding claims have been officially verified either.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped back from royal duties in 2020 and have lived mainly in California with their two children since then. Their departure, often referred to as "Megxit", followed years of tension with parts of the Royal Family and the press over privacy, media treatment and their future roles. Since leaving, both have pursued various media ventures, including Netflix projects, while largely staying out of official royal life.
Guy Ritchie is a British film director known for stylised crime dramas such as "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Snatch". "The Gentlemen" began as a 2019 film and was later turned into a Netflix television series of the same name, continuing that same crime-comedy style. Any involvement by Meghan Markle would be notable given her background as an actress before she married Prince Harry in 2018, after which she stepped away from acting.
Reports of a possible UK return matter because it would end six years of the couple living mainly abroad and could reshape both their public profile and their relationship with the Royal Family, including Prince William and Kate. Such stories often originate from unnamed sources and have not been confirmed by Meghan, Harry or the parties involved, so readers should treat the details as unverified for now.
