Meghan Markle Returns to Screen With Cameo as Herself in Amazon MGM’s “Close Personal Friends

On-set accounts describe a relaxed, well-prepared return during filming in Pasadena.

Overview

  • People reports she joked she felt "rusty" but had clearly rehearsed, with insiders describing her energy on set as warm and excited.
  • Her appearance is a small role playing herself, and she was photographed on the Pasadena set on Nov. 5.
  • Production is underway in California with no release date announced by the studio.
  • The film features Brie Larson, Lily Collins, Jack Quaid and Henry Golding, following a couple who befriends a famous pair during a trip to Santa Barbara.
  • Commentary casts the move as part of a U.S.-focused career trajectory and contrasts it with Prince Harry’s ties to the U.K., noting she said in 2022 that she did not plan to act again.
