Markle will appear in the new film 'Close Personal Friends' starring Lily Collins, Jack Quaid, Brie Larson and Henry Golding.
Meghan Markle is returning to the big screen with a role in the upcoming film Close Personal Friends.
Markle, who starred in Suits for seven seasons, will have a small cameo role in the movie as herself, according to Variety.
Close Personal Friends, a comedy starring Lily Collins, Jack Quaid, Brie Larson and Henry Golding, is currently filming around Los Angeles. Other cast members include Natasia Demetriou, Patti Harrison and Dustin Demri-Burn.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, was photographed on the set of the film in Pasadena, Calif., wearing sunglasses as she got into the backseat of a Range Rover.
The film centres on a couple “that meets and befriends a celebrity couple while on a trip to Santa Barbara. Personal lines get crossed, among other things, and awkward hilarity ensues,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Before marrying Prince Harry in 2018, Markle starred in the legal drama series Suits, playing Rachel Zane from 2011 until 2018. Her other film roles include Get Him to the Greek, Remember Me and Horrible Bosses.
The famous couple stepped back from royal duties in 2020, moved to the U.S., and, since then, they have launched numerous initiatives, including a Netflix production deal and their media company, Archewell Productions.
