Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is reportedly in discussions for a potential role in the third season of Guy Ritchie’s Netflix series, “The Gentlemen.” While the show, which features actor Theo James, has not yet received an official renewal for a third season, a source familiar with the matter confirmed that talks are underway. Netflix has declined to comment on the speculation, and representatives for the Duchess and her production company, Archewell Productions, have not provided further details.
Reports regarding the casting remain preliminary. Deadline, which first broke the news of the potential offer, noted that “the conversations are hypothetical at this point” and emphasized that no specific role has been identified for the Duchess. Earlier reports from news.com.au suggested that a new professional project might be a factor in the Sussex family’s planned move back to Britain, which is expected to occur by the end of this month.

The series later saw a surge in popularity upon its 2023 debut on Netflix.

Additionally, she is expected to make a cameo as herself in the upcoming MGM Amazon comedy “Close Personal Friends,” featuring Jack Quaid and Brie Larson.

Since then, they have established Archewell Productions and secured a multi-year deal with Netflix for various film and television projects, including their 2022 docuseries, “Harry & Meghan.” Beyond her production work, the Duchess has pursued podcasting, previously launching “Archetypes” on Spotify before moving to a new partnership with Lemonada Media in 2024. She also continues to manage her lifestyle brand, As Ever, which offers products such as jams and tea sets.
As the family prepares to settle into a private residence outside of London, their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are already enrolled in British schools. These institutions are scheduled to begin the new academic year in September, marking a major transition for the family as they return to the UK.
