editor Tina Brown<\/a> set off a storm of speculation that the offer may already be dead in the water.<\/p>\n\u201cI learned this morning that the casting of Meghan Markle in season 3 of Guy Ritchie\u2019s Netflix series The Gentlemen has been withdrawn,\u201d wrote Brown in her Substack column on Saturday, igniting a veritable media frenzy.<\/p>\n
When approached by The Hollywood Reporter, Brown stood firmly by her story. Curiously, 24 hours later: no further details, sources or confirmation from any industry publications had emerged.<\/p>\n
And as entertainment sources have now confirmed to me \u2013 as far as they\u2019re aware, \u201cnothing has changed\u201d and discussions are going to continue.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been confusing, to say the least \u2013 but here\u2019s what we\u2019ve been hearing:<\/p>\n
Meghan\u2019s decision to return to acting, almost a decade after she stepped back from her role in Suits to join then-boyfriend Harry in Britain, came after she first dipped her toe back into the showbiz water late last year with a small cameo as herself in Close Personal Friends, starring Brie Larson, Jack Quaid and Lily Collins.<\/p>\n
On the film set in California\u2019s Pasadena last November, she was \u201cvery relaxed and happy\u201d, as a source told People at the time.<\/p>\n
In recent months, and with that film role clearly signalling her interest in potential opportunities, it\u2019s believed a number of new offers have now landed on the table and are being seriously considered by Meghan and her team.<\/p>\n
Among them, as we now know, is The Gentlemen \u2013 with the duchess said to be particularly excited about the prospect of joining the cast, if the deal is confirmed. The show itself has proven a major success for the streaming service \u2013 and on a practical level, would mean the stars had aligned for her and Harry\u2019s move back to the UK, where the series is filmed.<\/p>\n
Last week, a source close to the Sussexes indicated to news.com.au that the return to her previous line of work was a significant factor in their decision to relocate \u2013 though, of course, not the full picture for the family of four.<\/p>\n
For as we know, it\u2019s been made very clear by Harry recently that he\u2019s keen to spend a more significant period of time in his home country, and have his children forge closer relationships with his wider family. He\u2019s also retained strong ties to several charities based in the UK, including Scotty\u2019s Little Soldiers and WellChild \u2013 and of course, the jewel in his crown (metaphorically, relax) is the Invictus Games, set for Birmingham next July.<\/p>\n
News.com.au understands that the successful enrolment of their two children in their chosen British school was yet another piece of the puzzle.<\/p>\n
Harry and Meghan\u2019s imminent (and seismic) return to the country they so dramatically left six and a half years ago has already generated global interest \u2013 now, we\u2019ll just have to wait and see how they choose to forge new lives in their former home. <\/p>\n
