Markle's reported 'The Gentlemen' casting withdrawn amid U.K. backlash, says Tina Brown

Tina Brown reported in a Substack column on 22 August that Meghan Markle's reported casting in Guy Ritchie's Netflix series 'The Gentlemen' was withdrawn after intense U.K. backlash. Brown, former editor of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker, stands by the report. Netflix declined to comment. Markle was in advanced talks for season three, which has not been renewed. The role would have marked her first acting work since 2017.
