Meghan Markle’s potential The Gentlemen casting is still unknown to the show’s stars.
“I, unfortunately, have no decision-making abilities,” Kaya Scodelario, who plays Susie Glass, said on the Wednesday, September 9, broadcast of Today when asked about the rumors of Meghan’s appearance. “I wish I did because I would love to cast the show myself; I’d put all my friends in it.”
Us learned in August that Meghan, 45, was in early talks to appear in The Gentlemen season 3, which Netflix recently renewed. (It is not known whether the Suits alum, who retired from acting upon her 2018 royal wedding to Prince Harry, will officially appear on the show.)

“At the moment, we’re just trying to get as many eyes on season 2, and then season 3 will happen soon,” James, 41, said in a September 2 profile. “But in terms of story, we have the overarching ambition of where we’re going to go. We’re going to expand the world, go to different countries. But in terms of the minutiae, I mean, it’s still very much up in the air.”

Meghan and Harry, 41, recently relocated back to England from California. (The couple, along with their two children, lived in Montecito after stepping down from their duties as senior working royals in 2020.)
“They like the idea of having the best of both worlds,” a source said in Us‘ latest cover story of the move, noting that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex wanted son Prince Archie, 7, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 5, to have “a stronger connection to the U.K. as they get older.”
