In a shocking turn of events, Meghan Markle faced an embarrassing professional setback on the set of her highly anticipated acting comeback.

Sources reveal that Isaac Aptaker—the celebrated producer known for his sharp storytelling—made the controversial decision to cut Meghan from several key scenes in the upcoming Amazon MGM comedy *Close Personal Friends*. Insiders describe the move as a brutal blow to Meghan’s confidence and public image.

Filming took place in California, where Meghan had been eagerly preparing for this major return to acting after nearly eight years away from the screen. While initially optimistic, crew members report tension mounting on set as Aptaker expressed growing doubts about Meghan’s performance and suitability for the role.
“The producer was very clear,” says an insider. “He felt she wasn’t delivering the lines with the depth and charisma the role demanded. They started reworking scenes and ultimately decided to minimize her screen time.”
This shocking turn has left Meghan “choked” with disappointment and frustration, sources say, especially given her hopes that this project would re-establish her as a serious actress beyond her royal persona. Industry insiders indicate the decision might affect the promotional push surrounding the film’s release, amplifying speculation about Meghan’s “no talent” label in entertainment circles.
Directed by Jason Orley and written by Aptaker, *Close Personal Friends* stars powerhouse actors like Brie Larson, Lily Collins, and Jack Quaid—intensifying pressure on Meghan to hold her own. But according to the latest leaks, the Duchess struggled to shine amid this heavyweight cast, prompting creative changes that sidelined her parts.
Meghan’s team has yet to officially comment, but behind closed doors, discussions are reportedly underway about next steps and damage control for her career revival hopes. With rival projects and public expectations high, the stakes are anything but small.
This development is already fueling fierce debates online about Meghan’s future in Hollywood and whether her royal past will continue to be a barrier or a launchpad.
As fans and critics speculate on what this means for Meghan Markle, all eyes will be on the film’s release and how this setback plays out in the court of public opinion.
