Meghan Markle has reportedly been dropped from Guy Ritchie‘s The Gentlemen.
According to Tina Brown, former editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker, the decision was made due to backlash in the U.K.
“I learned this morning that the casting of Meghan Markle in season 3 of Guy Ritchie’s Netflix series The Gentlemen has been withdrawn,” Brown wrote on Substack on Saturday, Aug. 21. “The backlash in the U.K. was so intense, it became untenable to go forward. This does not bode well for Meghan’s acting comeback in the U.K.”
One day earlier, The Hollywood Reporter claimed that the former Suits actress was in “advanced discussions” to join season 3 of the series, which films in the U.K. The Gentlemen has not yet been renewed for another season.
The news comes just days after Meghan and Prince Harry made the shocking announcement that they, along with their children Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, would be moving back to the U.K. while retaining their home in Montecito, Calif. Brown reported that Markle’s potential acting role was a significant factor in the decision.
Season 2 of The Gentlemen premieres on Thursday, Sept. 3, and stars Theo James as Edward “Eddie” Horniman, the estranged second son of a British Duke who unexpectedly inherits the massive family estate after his father’s death. Ritchie adapted the series as a spin-off of his 2019 film of the same name.
The Duchess of Sussex’s potential role in The Gentlemen would have marked her first return to acting after she left Suits and stepped away from the profession in 2017 when she got engaged to Prince Harry.
So far, there is no official word from Markle or Netflix on whether the reports are true.
