Reports Say Meghan Markle Makes Brief Cameo in ‘Close Personal Friends,’ Her First Screen Role Since 2017

Outlets cite a brief self-referential cameo in Jason Orley’s film without on-the-record confirmation.

Overview

  • Coverage reports that Markle appears as herself in a small role in Close Personal Friends, marking a reported return to screen work after a seven-year hiatus.
  • The romcom is described as filming in Pasadena and featuring Lily Collins, Brie Larson, Jack Quaid and Henry Golding.
  • The reports rely on on-set sightings and unnamed sources, and neither Markle’s representatives nor the production have publicly confirmed her involvement.
  • One unnamed source quoted by Geo News frames the move as testing the waters, saying she has fielded offers and that those involved were sworn to secrecy.
  • The reports contrast with her 2022 Variety remark that she intended not to act again, as another unnamed source contends the return was never part of her plan.
