Meghan Markle's Camera Comeback - Meghan Markle returns to acting in Amazon’s star-studded comedy *Close Friends*
Duchess Meghan Trainor, formerly known as Meghan Markle, is making a comeback to acting after an eight-year break. The 44-year-old, who married Prince Harry in 2018 and joined the British royal family, is set to appear in the Amazon MGM Studios comedy 'Close Friends'.
Meghan's last role was in the U.S. legal drama 'Suits', where she played attorney Rachel Zane until 2017. Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020 and moving to Montecito, California, she has not taken on any acting projects until now.
'Close Friends' is a comedy centering around a couple who befriend a famous pair during a trip to Santa Barbara. Meghan's role is unclear, but she has been spotted on set in Pasadena, suggesting she might be playing herself. The film also stars Brie Larson, Lily Collins, Jack Quaid, and Henry Golding. Filming began around early November 2025.
Meghan's return to acting is considered significant, as she has been flooded with offers and wanted to see how much she enjoys being back on set. The exact release date of 'Close Friends' has not yet been announced.
