“Yes, Fergie is joining," he said, referencing Sarah Ferguson. He then joked that she'd be playing his love interest. James said that the speculation of Markle's involvement is "a lot of hot air."
“At the moment, we’re just trying to get as many eyes on Season 2, and then Season 3 will happen soon," he added.

Over the past year, Meghan Markle has been rumored to be staging an acting comeback. Back in 2017, Markle announced her retirement from acting, concluding her run on the TV show "Suits" to focus on her royal duties. She played the role of Rachel Zane for seven seasons.
Recent reports suggested she might have been involved with "The Gentlemen," with a Netflix representative saying, encouraging the commentary. "All bets are off," said Manda Levin, Netflix's UK scripted chief. It seems like James has shut those rumors down.

She was spotted on the film's set in November of last year. A source told PEOPLE that Markle was "very relaxed and happy" on set. “She introduced herself to everyone and was very sweet and down-to-earth,” they said.
A separate source told The Sun that Markle's involvement with the project is meaningful, representing "a return to doing what she truly loves.”
“It is Meghan’s way of gently putting her toe back in the water and seeing how she enjoys being back on set,” they added.
