The Duchess of Sussex\u2019s reported casting in Guy Ritchie\u2019s The Gentlemen has been withdrawn, it was reported.<\/p>\n

Tina Brown, the former editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair and the New Yorker, wrote on Saturday: \u201cI learned this morning that the casting of Meghan Markle in season 3 of Guy Ritchie\u2019s Netflix<\/a> series The Gentlemen has been withdrawn. The backlash in the UK was so intense, it became untenable to go forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

The development comes a day after reports that the Duchess of Sussex was in talks to make her acting return in The Gentlemen.<\/p>\n

According to Variety, Meghan was in discussions to join the third season, which has yet to receive an official greenlight.<\/p>\n

The Gentlemen series is a spin-off from the 2019 crime comedy film of the same name, which starred Matthew McConaughey and Charlie Hunnam, with Guy Ritchie acting as creator of both.<\/p>\n

The duchess made her name in the legal drama Suits, in which she played the character Rachel Zane for seven seasons.<\/p>\n

Her other small-screen appearances include CSI: NY and 90210, while film roles have included a small part in the comedy Horrible Bosses and 2015\u2019s crime thriller Anti-Social. She also led two Hallmark movies: When Sparks Fly and Dater\u2019s Handbook.<\/p>\n

She recently filmed a cameo playing herself in the Amazon comedy Close Personal Friends alongside Brie Larson and Jack Quaid.<\/p>\n

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are planning to return to live in Britain<\/a> this month, six years after leaving for the US, it is understood.<\/p>\n

The couple and their two children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, are expected to relocate to a property believed to be outside London.<\/p>\n

King Charles was reportedly informed last Sunday that his son and daughter-in-law would return to Britain.<\/p>\n

Last year the Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed a fresh multi-year film and television deal with Netflix.<\/p>\n

Harry and Meghan struck the original five-year deal in 2020, reportedly worth $100m (\u00a378m), which resulted in a number of projects.<\/p>\n

Meghan\u2019s main release with the streamer was the lifestyle series With Love, Meghan. The show received negative reviews from many critics, with the Guardian\u2019s Chitra Ramaswamy calling it \u201ctoe-curling stuff\u201d in a one-star review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Duchess of Sussex\u2019s reported casting in Guy Ritchie\u2019s The Gentlemen has been withdrawn, it was reported.
