Meghan Markle’s pal isn’t holding back from calling out those who use her for their gains.
When the Duchess of Sussex was preparing to move back to the UK back in August 2026, a surprise rumour began swirling that she will make her big acting comeback with Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen Season 3.
The rumour led to massive backlash against the former American actress, as viewers were not in favour of her being cast in the show.
Later on, the rumour turned out to be false, with reports claiming that Meghan has not been reached out to join the series.
Now, a friend of the Duchess, while speaking to The Telegraph, has blasted Guy Ritchie and Netflix for “using” her to promote The Gentlemen Season 2, which premiered in September 2026.
"Some people in her camp feel she was used to help promote season two, because they knew it wasn’t as good as the first season and had already commissioned a third," they said.
The pal continued, "It's the oldest marketing trick in the book: get a big name to read a script, then leak that you're 'in conversation' with them when, in reality, nothing is particularly far along. The whole thing left a bit of a sour taste in the Sussex camp's mouth. Needless to say, Netflix got what it wanted: huge viewing figures for season two and a lot of publicity."
Meghan Markle’s business venture in the UK
