Meghan Markle has a lofty message to any future actresses who might play her on-screen: they must dig deep into her many layers.

“I hope that in preparing for that role, she finds the softness and the playfulness and the laughter.”

“The silliness. I just hope she finds the dimensions. Also, she can call me!”
The Duchess of Sussex, 41, was an actor for years before she married Prince Harry in 2018, most famously starring in the US legal drama “Suits.”

“Anyone talking about me or casting an actor to play me, that will be a caricature of me that has been created for a business that makes people a lot of money."

"Once you can separate that out, it’s much easier to go: ‘OK. That actually has nothing to do with me’ … It’s a hard lesson to come to grips with.”
Markle recently complained on her “Archetypes” podcast that her breakout role as a “suitcase girl” on “Deal or No Deal” made her out to be a “bimbo.”
Markle, who recently had a Netflix docuseries reportedly postponed after backlash relating to “The Crown,” has already been depicted on-screen by several actresses, including Parisa Fitz-Henley and Sydney Morton. Both films were Lifetime movies.
Nobody will play Markle in “The Crown,” however, since that series will end with six seasons.
