She wouldn’t have had to relocate to the UK to take a role here surely. It was a nonsense story.

It’s all quite funny tbh. Looking forward to all the briefings from BP/Camilla and Billy Idle’s camp. They’re like a soap opera.

I don't know but I know it won't impact our lives or keep me awake at night

Are you in America? I like America. I think Meghan should be where she is wanted and extremely popular, so she has the whole world inside of her.

We could have some amusement in what role the Duchess of Sussex aka Meghan Markle could resume her acting career in.

LindorDoubleChoc · 22/08/2026 21:10

I only take the smallest bit of interest but I find it quite surprising that Meghan thought her acting career could survive a stint in the British royal family. Yes, even after opting out.

Cerralin · 22/08/2026 21:17

She was never going to have a part.

It was just a story to release to the press that day, in the hope of distracting from the ANL costs story the same day (Harry and others having to pay massive costs for bringing a spurious and discredited legal action).

There's a reason why there have been so many distracting Harry and Meghan stories this week.

I suspect it was never on the cards, wouldn’t surprise me if it all wasn’t a publicity stunt!
Also does she even have a work visa? How does that work?

Actors work in different countries all the time. I assume it’s not that difficult to sort, if necessary.

AlwaysRightISwear · 22/08/2026 21:25

She could work on a spinal visa no problem. My only question about that is did they apply in time to get it for the school start date?

whilst you revel in your own lack of literary brio, lambasting others for their literary erudition

I’m not sure that “literary” is the correct term here. From what I can see, she is basically just a gossip columnist and fashion/entertainment journalist. All credit to her though for making a career out of what many people now do online for free - it’s so utterly vacuous.

Poppinpoppinpopcorn · 23/08/2026 09:03

Good, I really hoped she wouldn't be cast. If she was I certainly wouldn't be watching it anymore. It would be the death warrant for the show

HoldMyWine · 23/08/2026 09:08

I don’t think the acting role was a thing ever. More made up nonsense to hide the real reason for their return: they have no money left.

Surely Guy Richie or someone else involved in production would have spoken up and debunked it, though?

I think Guy Ritchie is a sort of film director. No idea on the others.

I couldn’t care less but I’m amazed at how many people don’t know who Tina Brown is!

seriously, you need to look harder and more diligently rather than reduce a
renowned influential well respected, award winning author, Oxford educated,
CBE presented to her by HMtQ, to someone ‘utterly vacuous’

It’s the subject matter that’s utterly vacuous. Fashion and entertainment 🤷🏼‍♂️. Her books include the “Diana Chronicles” and the “Vanity Fair Diaries.” I don’t think anyone is particularly impressed by an Oxford education or a CBE these days. Paula Vennells had both!

Yes, how did she ever manage? Hmm

Some people wear their ignorance as a badge of honour here.

I know! Almost as if they are proud of it. At the very least they could Google him.

Friendlygingercat · 23/08/2026 12:33

Meghan was never much of an actress anyway. Its a bit like watching Laurence Olivier - every part she plays is the same. Meghan playing Meghan. Just like in real life.

What role is that? A role in the Gentlemen 2 that has finished filming? Or a role in Gentlemen 3 that hasn't been commissioned yet?

Meghan should know that frantically calling Guy Ritchie doesn't mean that they are "in talks"

I don't know who is gullible enough to believe this absolute nonsense but apparently the WhatsApp group of journalists are stupid enough to print it. Bless their hearts 😂

Of course it gives Meghan a chance to play "victim" - she would have had this super duper £1 million role but those meany old Brits sabotaged the role in less than 24 hours... Of course it sets up her need to spend a lot of time in LA which is probably what she intended to do anyway.

Darklane · 23/08/2026 15:03

It’s right up there with how she was going to be the face of Dior & a Bond Girl.

LusiLaila · 23/08/2026 19:09

It’s all my fault. I’m very sorry.

Viviennemary · 23/08/2026 19:16

Sky news said this evening the move might be temporary. Wouldnt be surprised if they don't come at all Imho. Andrew Morton said he's only coming here because he owes all that money. Well there's a surprise.
