\n\tReports of Meghan Markle\u2019s return to acting in the U.K. prompted numerous quips and memes over the weekend that the Duchess of Sussex was planning to make an appearance on long-running BBC soap \u201cEastEnders.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNow it seems \u201cEastEnders\u201d producers have gotten in on the joke, as BBC Studios have put out a casting call for a new series regular called \u201cMeghan\u201d who they describe as \u201cconfident, gorgeous and ready to cause chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tA member of the newly-arrived Hawkins family, \u201cMeghan\u201d will work as a \u201csenior member of the team behind a bar\u201d \u2013 presumably the show\u2019s iconic pub, The Old Vic, whose indomitable landladies have included Peggy Mitchell (Barbara Windsor) and Pat Butcher (Pam St Clement).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe casting call, which is looking for a female aged around 30 years old, describes the character\u2019s arrival into Albert Square akin to \u201can Essex bombshell walking into the \u2018Love Island\u2019 villa\u201d and describes her as \u201cfunny, fearless and fiercely loyal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cQuick-witted and impossible to intimidate, Meghan never backs down from a confrontation, she has spent her whole life proving she can handle whatever is thrown at her,\u201d the breakdown reads.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMeghan knows what she wants in life and has never relied on anyone else to get by. She\u2019s worked every job imaginable over the years, grafting hard to build a life for herself and earning every penny she\u2019s made\u2026 a trait that has made her family very proud of her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile \u201cMeghan\u201d can be \u201cwarm, charismatic, effortlessly charming,\u201d those who cross her beware, because she\u2019s \u201cequally capable of throwing someone out on their ear if they cross a line.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMeghan will be part of the Hawkins family, the majority of whom arrived on Albert Square last week. Introduced as the estranged family of Nicola Mitchell, they include Gemma (Patricia Potter), husband Ned (Jamie Bamber) and son Ryder (Felix Uff). Meghan is Gemma\u2019s daughter.<\/p>\n

\n\tMeghan\u2019s isn\u2019t the first royal presence on the long-running BBC soap, albeit in a fictional form. Her father-in-law King Charles and Queen Camilla made a surprise cameo on the show in 2022, interacting with residents during a Platinum Jubilee street party. King Charles\u2019 mother Queen Elizabeth II also visited the set in 2001, although she did not cameo in an episode.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor actors interested in throwing their hat in the ring, the casting call closes Sept. 1.<\/p>\n
