The former working royal's source said, "It's the oldest marketing trick in the book: get a big name to read a script, then leak that you’re 'in conversation' with them when, in reality, nothing is particularly far along."
But an industry insider declined such reports, as per The Times.
Now, commenting on the whole situation, gossip columnist Rob Shutter claimed that Meghan faced a new row with one of Britain’s most powerful directors.
The source shared, "Meghan was delighted when everyone thought Guy Ritchie wanted her.
"She enjoyed every headline. But once it became clear there was no role, the story suddenly changed from Hollywood comeback to Hollywood betrayal!"
