00:13thinks Meghan Markle should be as genuine as possible
00:16while playing herself in the upcoming Amazon Prime comedy Close Personal Friends.
00:21Will she double down on that overly polished,
00:23perfect housewife image we saw in the Netflix series,
00:26With Love, Meghan, or the weird podcast version?
00:29She questioned in an interview with Daily Express.
00:32Because those versions of her have become a bit of a cultural punchline.
