Meghan Markle’s acting comeback? Duchess of Sussex in talks for The Gentlemen Season 3

Meghan Markle is reportedly in early talks to appear in the third season of Netflix's crime drama series, The Gentlemen. The Duchess of Sussex is said to be in very preliminary discussions for a role, though no contract or specific character details have been confirmed. The show, created by Guy Ritchie, follows the story of aristocrat Eddie Horniman, played by Theo James, who discovers his family's estate is tied to a marijuana smuggling operation.

Markle, best known for her role in the legal drama Suits, is seen as a notable return to scripted television, following her departure from acting after marrying Prince Harry in 2018. Her Archewell Productions, established with Prince Harry, has previously collaborated with Netflix on several projects, including Harry & Meghan and Markle's lifestyle series With Love, Meghan.

Markle's potential involvement, if confirmed, would be an opportunity to "explore and play and have fun," as she recently described in a Variety interview.
