Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex and actress, had been away from acting for the past 8 years.

However, the Suits actress was recently seen on the sets of an upcoming film called Close Personal Friends starring Brie Larson, Jack Quaid, Lily Collins, and more.

The news was first reported by The Sun. The outlet also reported a statement made by a studio source saying that,

"This is a massive moment for Meghan and signifies a return to doing what she truly loves. She has been swamped with offers but this one felt right. It is Meghan’s way of gently putting her toe back in the water and seeing how she enjoys being back on set."

The actress gained major recognition with her portrayal of Rachel Zane in the TV series Suits, but has appeared in several films too. And now that she is back in acting, you can watch these 5 movies featuring her as fans await the release of Close Personal Friends.

5. Remember Me

The first film in this list is the Robert Pattinson-led 2010 film Remember Me. Meghan Markle played Megan in the film. She is a bartender busy chatting with Pattinson's Tyler Hawkins and his best friend Aidan Hall, who is clearly into her. Though the film didn't sit well with the critics, it made $56 million against a $16 million budget.


4. Dysfunctional Friends

Meghan Markle is again seen in a blink-and-miss encounter in Dysfunctional Friends, where she plays a photographer. The film is about a group of friends who reunite at the funeral of one of them. While this appears as a simple reunion, things take a twist when they are told that they might be in for a big inheritance if they can spend five days at an estate. It sounds easy, but watch the film for yourself to see the tension in it.


3. Random Encounters

Random Encounters, also known as A Random Encounter in Britain, is a story about Laura (Abby Wathen), a struggling actress, and a screenwriter called Kevin (Michael Rady). While they meet in a random encounter (the aptly named title), their story begins. Here, Meghan Markle plays an energetic party girl and Laura's best friend, who tries to sort out her love life. But then that doesn't really work out. So how do things really work out? Well, you have to see the film to know it for yourself.


2. Horrible Bosses

Horrible Bosses is undoubtedly the funniest movie you will watch on this list. As the name suggests, you will see some of the most horrible bosses there are. Meghan Markle plays a FedEx employee here, and she's just trying to do her job while people try to hit on her. Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell, and Kevin Spacey also co-star in the film.


1. Anti-Social

In the final movie in this list, Meghan Markle plays an American model named Kirsten, who is the love interest of the film's protagonist, Dee (Gregg Sulkin). He is a street artist, but some things lead him to get involved with his brother, who's involved in some criminal dealings.
