Meghan Markle Spotted On Set Of Lily Collins Film, Set For Big Screen Return?

The Duchess of Sussex is making a surprise cameo in the upcoming Amazon comedy Close Personal Friends, marking her first acting role in eight years, alongside an ensemble cast including Lily Collins and Brie Larson.

November 6, 2025: Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex and former star of the legal drama Suits, is reportedly making a return to the big screen. Media sources confirmed on Wednesday that the former actress has been shooting scenes for a new Hollywood film around Los Angeles, marking her first acting role in eight years.

A Carefully Chosen Cameo

The Duchess of Sussex is set to appear in a small cameo role in the Amazon MGM Studios comedy, Close Personal Friends.

  • The Cast: The film features a star-studded ensemble, including Emily in Paris star Lily Collins, Jack Quaid, Brie Larson, and Henry Golding.
  • The Plot: Variety reports the comedy revolves around a “regular” couple that meets and befriends a celebrity couple while on a trip to Santa Barbara—the area where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex reside. Sources suggest Meghan will be playing herself in the appearance.

Markle had previously indicated she was stepping away from acting following her engagement to Prince Harry in 2017. Her return is being described by sources as a measured step back into her original industry.

Source Quote (via People): “This is a massive moment for Meghan and signifies a return to doing what she truly loves… It is Meghan’s way of gently putting her toe back in the water and seeing how she enjoys being back on set.”

Sources spotted the Duchess on set in Pasadena, California, on Wednesday, noting she was “very relaxed and happy” and was “very sweet and down-to-earth.”

The Sussexes’ Hollywood Ventures

The return to scripted acting comes as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex focus entirely on their commercial endeavors in California, having stepped away from royal duties in 2020.

The couple is currently operating under a lucrative deal with Netflix, which has produced projects like the documentary Harry & Meghan and Meghan’s lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan. Despite mixed critical reception, the lifestyle show has been renewed for a second season, with a holiday special due in December.

The film, Close Personal Friends, is directed by Jason Orley and is currently in production, though Amazon MGM Studios has not yet announced an official release date.
