Cast members decline to confirm Meghan Markle joining Netflix series

Cast members of Netflix's The Gentlemen attended the show's series two premiere in London on Wednesday. Reporters asked them about rumours that Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, might join the cast. The reports appeared about two weeks before the event. Actor Theo James called the speculation "a lot of hot air." Co-star Maya Jama said she would "be the last person to know." Nobody confirmed or denied anything. The premiere took place at Guildhall and included stars such as Hugh Bonneville, Ray Winstone, and Kaya Scodelario. Netflix UK's scripted chief said "All bets are off" when asked about Meghan's possible involvement. The Gentlemen is a Guy Ritchie comedy action series about a duke who becomes a drug baron.
