It has been almost two weeks since reports emerged that the Duchess of Sussex was in talks for a role in The Gentlemen.
At the world premiere for series two of the Netflix show on Wednesday night, stars including Maya Jama, Hugh Bonneville and Theo James remained tight-lipped about the prospect of Meghan joining the cast.
“It’s fascinating to watch, but ultimately it’s a lot of rumour,” James told BBC News, while Jama said: “I’d be the last person to know!”
The show’s executive producer said he didn't want to say yes or no to the reports about Meghan, but added they were looking forward to “more energy and surprises” to come.
The Gentlemen, a comedy action series about a duke turned drug baron, created by Guy Ritchie, was a major hit when it first dropped in 2024.
