Meghan Markle still in talks for Netflix's The Gentlemen

Meghan Markle remains in talks to star in The Gentlemen despite a claim she was ditched from the Netflix series amid a public backlash. A formal agreement has not been reached, but bosses at the streaming giant are reportedly keen for the Duchess of Sussex to make a comeback.

A source told The Sun: "Her return to acting is expected to draw a large audience of both her supporters and critics, and is likely to make a lot of money. It will be seen as a major coup for whoever signs her."

The update comes after royal author Tina Brown wrote in her Substack on Saturday (August 22) that the deal with Meghan, 45, was off.
