Meghan Markle has confirmed that some of the rumors regarding her career are true. For several months, reports surfaced that Meghan Markle was considering other opportunities beyond her Netflix projects, seeking further involvement in the entertainment industry.
To fulfill that goal, she has returned to her first job and passion: acting. This week, photographs show that Markle has returned to acting. She will appear alongside Lily Collins, Brie Larson, Jack Quaid, and Henry Golding in the upcoming film Close Personal Friends.
Markle was seen in a laid-back outfit and demeanor as she left the Amazon MGM Studios in Pasadena, California.
Sources close to Markle spoke to PEOPLE and revealed that she was happy to be back and was extremely friendly to her co-stars and crew.
One insider said: “Meghan was on the set today. Meghan has a small role in the project. She seemed very relaxed and happy. She introduced herself to everyone and was very sweet and down-to-earth.”
A studio source told The Sun: “It is a massive moment for her: It is Meghan’s way of gently putting her toe back in the water and seeing how she enjoys being back on set… Everyone involved is super-excited, and has been sworn to secrecy about her involvement.”
Media Speculation: Stepping Out Of Harry’s Shadow
Markle’s return to acting has received significant media attention. According to Express, some coverage speculates that the decision was influenced by her deep desire for independence in her professional pursuits.
The source explained to the media outlet: “Meghan’s comeback isn’t just about acting—it’s about freedom. She’s been itching to return to the entertainment industry, and this fun and feel-good project feels like her stepping out from Harry‘s shadow.”
Close friends said that she is “desperate to feel like herself again.” The source went on to say that their romance is not what it seems, and there is tension in private.
The insider stated: “Harry’s supportive in public, but privately, he’s struggling with how separate their worlds have become. Her re-entry into Hollywood feels like a statement that she is moving on, with or without him. Harry’s energy is going into his charity and Invictus projects, but Meghan’s got her sights firmly set on Hollywood again.”
They insisted: “This film isn’t a side project—it’s her big comeback.”
Prince Harry’s Support Confirmed
The speculation that Prince Harry is unhappy about his wife returning to films, possibly locking lips with other male actors as she did on Suits, quickly circulated.
However, Prince Harry was quick to clear the air. Sources close to the Duke of Sussex confirmed that he is delighted for his wife and added: “Prince Harry is, of course, really supportive and quite simply wants Meghan to do whatever brings her joy.”
Moreover, she is not expected to distance herself too much from her public persona, for now.
