Meghan Markle is stepping back into the acting world in a move that has attracted major attention.

After an eight-year hiatus from scripted roles, the Duchess of Sussex is set to appear in the upcoming Amazon MGM Studios film Close Personal Friends. In the movie she will play a fictionalized version of herself, sharing the screen with a star-studded cast that includes Lily Collins, Brie Larson, Henry Golding, and Jack Quaid.

Filming took place in Pasadena, California and Meghan was spotted on set looking relaxed, friendly and down-to-earth. An insider told People that she introduced herself simply as “Meghan” and smiled noticeably.

In interviews, Meghan joked she felt “a bit rusty” returning to acting, though it was clear she had prepared and was comfortable in her role.

For Meghan, this role may represent a welcome return to something she once described as a passion. Before she married Prince Harry in 2018, she starred as Rachel Zane on the legal drama Suits. Her departure from acting was framed at the time as a “change” rather than a sacrifice.

Is Meghan Markle Pregnant?

Alongside her acting comeback, speculation has begun around whether Meghan is expecting a third child. Recent photographs showed her wearing looser silhouettes and her hands positioned near her abdomen—moves that some royal watchers interpreted as signs of pregnancy.

That said, there is no official confirmation from Meghan or her representatives that she is pregnant. The couple continues to live in Montecito with their two children and many believe they would announce any new baby through a coordinated statement. For now, the pregnancy rumors remain unverified.

As Meghan transitions into this new professional chapter, all eyes will be on how the film is received and whether this marks a full-scale return to acting or a one-off cameo. Meanwhile the pregnancy rumors continue to swirl, keeping fans engaged on multiple fronts. Whatever the outcome, it is clear Meghan is evolving her public and personal life in interesting ways.
