LOS ANGELES Nov 6 \u2014 Prince Harry\u2019s wife Meghan Markle is to make her return to the big screen, media reported Wednesday, with a small cameo role in a film being shot around Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
The Duchess of Sussex was reportedly shooting scenes for \u201cClose Personal Friends,\u201d which features \u201cEmily in Paris\u201d star Lily Collins, alongside Jack Quaid, Brie Larson and Henry Golding.<\/p>\n
Entertainment title Variety said the comedy \u201crevolves around a \u2018regular\u2019 couple that meets a celebrity couple while on a trip to Santa Barbara.\u201d<\/p>\n
Markle starred in legal romp \u201cSuits\u201d for seven seasons before her fairytale wedding to the second son of Britain\u2019s King Charles.<\/p>\n
But she has not acted in seven years, after indicating she was giving up the profession.<\/p>\n
The couple, who live in California after a bust-up with the British royal family, no longer have access to the public purse, relying instead on a pricey deal with Netflix and Markle\u2019s nascent lifestyle brand.<\/p>\n
The Netflix deal has spawned the popular, if much-mocked, series \u201cWith Love, Meghan,\u201d which features Markle as a thriving domestic maven in a fictionalized home, hosting guests, harvesting honey and mixing bath salts.<\/p>\n
Despite being blasted by critics as \u201cpointless,\u201d it has been extended for a second season, and a holiday special is due in December.<\/p>\n
The couple have struggled to capture the public\u2019s imagination since \u201cHarry & Meghan,\u201d a six-episode tell-all about their relationship and exit from the House of Windsor, which drew 23 million views in its first four days \u2013\u00a0a record for a Netflix documentary.<\/p>\n
Harry and his wife stepped away from royal duties in 2020 as relations with his family \u2013 especially his brother William \u2013 spiralled.<\/p>\n
His blockbuster memoir \u201cSpare\u201d in January 2023 upset Buckingham Palace with its criticism of family members, including William\u2019s wife Catherine and his stepmother Queen Camilla.<\/p>\n
He has since voiced hopes for a \u201creconciliation\u201d and in September met Charles, 76, in London, months after it was revealed the monarch is undergoing treatment for an undisclosed cancer.<\/p>\n
Harry\u2019s uncle, Andrew, was stripped of his royal titles last month, after years of scandal over his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a one-time friend of US President Donald Trump. \u2014 AFP<\/p>\n
