According to them, it’s a gentle re-entry of the Duchess into the entertainment world. Meghan will be playing a version of herself. Prince Harry’s wife is offering a witty nod to her global status. Now, she leans into a genre that focuses on humour and modern celebrity culture.
Meghan Markle‘s Professionalism On Set
The production happened across London and Los Angeles last year. During production, the Duchess had a grounded energy at the workplace. Sources described her as being “very relaxed and happy” throughout the process. Also, she took time to introduce herself to every cast member.
Insiders say her presence was “very sweet and down-to-earth”. It was a more refreshing creative outlet for her as compared to her more serious recent documentary work. Even the supporting cast had so many talented people. This included Anna Konkle and Natasia Demetriou.
Also, Meghan had tried to keep a low profile regarding fiction roles for eight years. However, now with this project, she is able to enjoy the creative process again. The Duchess is in high spirits throughout. And so the crew and her fellow performers had a positive impression of her as the project wrapped.
