Meghan, Duchess of Sussex is returning to acting for the first time in almost a decade in upcoming film Close Personal Friends

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex is returning to acting for the first time in almost a decade.

The 44-year-old star left legal drama Suits eight years ago before announcing her engagement to Prince Harry, but now she's reportedly landed a cameo role in upcoming movie Close Personal Friends.

An insider told The Sun newspaper: "This is a massive moment for Meghan and signifies a return to doing what she truly loves. She has been swamped with offers but this one felt right.

"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 have been sworn to secrecy about her involvement."

It's said she will play herself in the upcoming Amazon MGM Studios movie, which stars Brie Larson, Lily Collins, Jack Quaid and Henry Golding.

Before joining the British Royal Family, the actress - then known as Meghan Markle - landed roles in the likes of Horrible Bosses, Anti-Social, CSI: NY, 90210, Knight Rider and Castle.

She hasn't acted since wrapping her final scene for Suits in 2017, which aired the following year.
