Meghan Meghan\u2019s return to acting could be a huge mistake. Not because it diminishes her royal stature \u2013 that ship sailed long ago. But her first paid acting role in the nine years since she met Prince Harry<\/a> may be the final nail in the coffin of her never-stellar thespian career.<\/p>\n

Meghan is playing herself in a cameo in the coming movie Close Personal Friends, which is not exactly acting any more than her earlier role opening Suitcase No.24 on television game show Let\u2019s Make A Deal. It\u2019s a mark of Meghan\u2019s desperation to remain relevant in a Hollywood<\/a> that has grown weary of her and Harry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Historians may look back on this as the moment Meghan \u2018jumped the shark’ \u2013 going from an actress known for her somewhat limited thespian skills to becoming known simply for being famous: a modern version of Zsa Zsa Gabor, who like Meghan was also married to a minor prince of Germanic extraction.<\/p>\n

She follows in the dubious footsteps of many stars who have played themselves on screen and botched the job, including Paul McCartney in Give My Regards to Broad Street, Mariah Carey in Glitter and Gordon Ramsey in Love\u2019s Kitchen.<\/p>\n

Cary Grant famously said: \u201cEveryone wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But not everyone wants to be Meghan Markle<\/a>, and Hollywood has tired of her and Harry\u2019s fading efforts to cash in on the royal titles they exploit and simultaneously eschew.<\/p>\n

After the success of their Harry & Meghan series on Netflix<\/a> and Harry\u2019s bestselling memoir Spare, the couple have seen their efforts falter. Netflix ended their $100 million contract in September, offering only a \u201cfirst look deal\u201d with no payment guarantees, and Spotify dumped Meghan\u2019s podcast deal.<\/p>\n

Meghan has been acting the domestic goddess with her Netflix series With Love, Meghan, and her As Ever comestibles,\u00a0 even though her seemingly hand-crafted home-cooked jams actually come off a factory production line in Illinois.<\/p>\n

While reality shows like Real Housewives and Celebrity Big Brother may clamour to hire her, there are few studios offering Meghan a real acting role. After seven years playing the role of a Duchess \u2013 with questionable success \u2013 is there any future for Meghan in Hollywood, except as a parody of herself?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
