Meghan Markle<\/a>\u2019s shocking return to acting<\/a> after eight years was described as a desperate call for \u201cattention\u201d by a PR expert. The Duchess of Sussex was spotted on set in Los Angeles, filming a movie that will feature other Hollywood<\/a> A-listers.<\/p>\n

Meghan is set to play herself<\/a> in Jason Orley’s Close Personal Friends, which boasts Lily Collins, Brie Larson, Jack Quaid \u2014 son of Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid \u2014 and Brit Henry Golding among its cast. The film is about two couples\u2014one famous and one not\u2014who meet in Santa Barbara and become fast friends, and Meghan is reportedly going to make a cameo appearance.<\/p>\n

Now, a PR expert was cautious of Meghan\u2019s next move<\/a> and said it can be confusing to her fans as it doesn\u2019t necessarily align with the image she has been trying to promote in the last couple of years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Duchess has ventured out in the business world in the last year, launching her lifestyle brand As Ever and promoting herself as a female founder.<\/p>\n

Renae Smith, founder of The Atticism, told the Express: \u201cWhat makes it risky is the tone. Will she lean into self-awareness and play an exaggerated, cheeky version of herself?<\/p>\n

\u201cThat could actually work (to a degree) as people love it when celebrities show they can take a joke. Or will she double down on that overly polished, \u2018perfect housewife\u2019 image we saw in the Netflix<\/a> series, or, heaven forbid, the weird podcast version?<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause those versions of her have become a bit of a cultural punchline. If she goes that route, it\u2019ll only confirm what critics already think: that she\u2019s not relatable and doesn\u2019t get the public mood.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The PR expert added that her latest move risks blurring the line when it comes to the narrative she wants to project, saying that it could end up making it look like a desperate call for attention.<\/p>\n

Ms Smith explained: \u201cStrategically, it\u2019s confusing too. She\u2019s spent the past couple of years trying to reposition herself as a businesswoman and philanthropist, then as an influencer\/lifestyle brand – but definitely not a performer.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo this move muddies the narrative: is she building a brand, or chasing relevance? My guess is she\u2019s going for \u2018anything that will get attention\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
