Meghan Markle No Longer Being Considered For Netflix’s ‘The Gentlemen,’ Report Says
Tina Brown said the offer was pulled after intense U.K. backlash, and Deadline had reported Meghan Markle was in early talks for the role.

- Observers remain skeptical, as Ritchie's series has not yet aired its second season and Sykes noted the 'level of general hostility' toward Meghan is 'off the charts' in the U.K.
