A recent on-set appearance by Meghan Markle has sparked a wave of online commentary, with public opinion sharply divided over her professional comeback.
The former actress was reportedly seen filming a minor role for the upcoming project Close Personal Friends in California this week. The film boasts a cast including several well-known Hollywood figures. This marks her first involvement in a filmed production in nearly a decade, a move described by an unnamed source close to the project as a significant personal step.
“Everyone on set is very enthusiastic, and the atmosphere has been positive,” the source noted, suggesting the role represents a tentative return to the industry.
However, the news has been met with a polarized response from observers. Critical voices on social media have been particularly vocal, with some questioning her acting abilities and expressing fatigue with her public presence. “The performance always seems one-dimensional,” commented one user, while another bluntly stated, “acting was never her strong suit.”
Conversely, other supporters celebrated the move, interpreting the cameo as a mark of her enduring cultural relevance. “Landing a role as yourself is a statement in itself. Looking forward to it,” wrote one supporter online.
This professional development follows a challenging period for the entrepreneur, whose new lifestyle brand recently faced significant consumer criticism. The holiday-themed collection, which includes various gourmet items, incorporated subtle personal references that have reportedly caused some private friction. According to insiders, these branded nods to family life were not universally appreciated within her own household, drawing comparisons to other figures known for leveraging their past associations.
The unfolding public narrative continues to highlight the intense scrutiny surrounding her post-royal career choices, blending professional ambition with ongoing personal brand management.
