Maya said of director Ritchie: “He doesn’t feel as intimidating as you’d think, being who he is. “He’s very personable and he would be like, ‘Yeah, you’re doing well’, and reassure me, which was really nice. “He’s just really involved and kind of a genius to watch, because everyone’s practising their lines and then he says something that’s way better than the original.” Most read in TV Theo James, who plays drug-dealing aristocrat Eddie Horniman in the show, believes getting the Duchess on board is ‘impossible’ Credit: Netflix Guy Ritchie directed Netflix series The Gentleman Credit: Splash The Sun revealed last month that former Suits actress Meghan was in talks to get a future role as a temptress. It is understood the discussions are one of the factors that helped her and husband Prince Harry decide to move back to Britain with kids Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five. But Theo James, 41, who plays drug-dealing aristocrat Eddie Horniman in the show, believes getting the Duchess on board is “impossible”. He said: “I think she’d fit in well because she’s actually from part of the Royal Family. But no, I think the practicalities of that are impossible.” Netflix were approached for comment. Comment now
