Meghan Markle's 'The Gentlemen' Casting Withdrawn Amid UK Backlash

Meghan Markle's reported casting in the upcoming third season of Guy Ritchie's Netflix series, "The Gentlemen," has reportedly been withdrawn. The Duchess of Sussex was believed to be under consideration for a role in the crime caper.

According to Tina Brown, former editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker, the decision to withdraw Markle's casting was made due to intense backlash in the UK. Brown stated that the negative reaction made it "untenable to go forward" with her involvement in the series.
