Meghan Markle set to return to acting after eight years in Close Personal Friend

Meghan Markle will return to acting after an eight-year hiatus. The actress, last seen as Rachel Zane in Suits, will star in the upcoming film, Close Personal Friends, alongside Lily Collins. Markle is currently in Pasadena, Los Angeles, for filming the project, which also includes cast members such as Jack Quaid, Brie Larson, and Brit Henry Golding, the Express reported.

Sources close to the Duchess of Sussex told the media outlet that she was “swamped with offers” and went along with the one she felt was right for her.

Meghan Markle's big project comes following her confession that she misses acting on Emma Grede's podcast. At the time, the Duchess shared that though she sometimes misses being on the sets, “having a large team, being back on set with With Love, Meghan was great, because I realised how much I missed my crew. I love being around a crew."

Furthermore, an insider told The Sun that Prince Harry is very supportive of Markle's decision to return to acting. They stated that the former royal wants his wife to do whatever brings her joy. “It is Meghan's way of gently putting her toe back in the water and seeing how she enjoys being back on set,” the source shared.

Meanwhile, the actress' last onscreen role was opposite Patrick J. Adams in Suits. Markle starred in seven of the nine seasons. She exited the show in 2018, shortly before tying the knot with Prince Harry.

At the time of leaving Hollywood, Markle revealed to the BBC, "For me, once we hit the 100-episode marker, I thought, you know what? I have ticked this box, and I feel really proud of the work I've done there, and now it's time to, as you said, work as a team with [Harry]."

As the four of them take a trip to Santa Barbara, personal lines get crossed, and things begin to turn awkward and humorous, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
