Meghan Markle's acting U-turn exposes 'lingering problem' after six years of reinventions: experts

Meghan Markle spent years trying to reinvent herself after leaving royal life — but her latest move could bring her right back to where she started.

With Season 3 of "The Gentlemen" officially greenlit, the Duchess of Sussex remains in talks to join Guy Ritchie's hit drama, People magazine reported, contradicting earlier reports that the potential deal had fallen through.

Doug Eldridge, founder of Achilles PR, told Fox News Digital that Meghan's potential Hollywood comeback could expose the challenge that has followed her for years: finding an identity once the camera stops rolling that sticks.

"This has been the lingering problem for Meghan all these years: what is her identity?" he said.
