Resurfaced Get Him to the Greek Clip Highlights Meghan Markle’s Brief 2010 On-Screen Appearance Alongside Russell Brand Following His Prison Sentence
Long before Meghan Markle rose to global prominence on Suits and married Prince Harry to become the Duchess of Sussex, her early Hollywood resume included a brief, uncredited appearance alongside Russell Brand in the 2010 comedy Get Him to the Greek.
The obscure screen moment—along with a 2018 television interview in which Brand discussed filming a scripted kiss with Markle—has unexpectedly resurfaced online following Brand’s conviction and 10-year, six-month prison sentence for rape and sexual assault.
A Brief, Uncredited Cameo in Get Him to the Greek
Released in June 2010 and starring Brand as eccentric British rock star Aldous Snow opposite Jonah Hill as record label employee Aaron Green, Get Him to the Greek featured Markle during her years taking smaller Hollywood roles:
-
The Role: Markle appeared uncredited as Tatiana, a party guest who shares a brief, scripted kissing scene with Brand’s character during a party sequence.
-
Brand’s 2018 Loose Women Remarks: The fleeting cameo drew headlines ahead of the May 2018 royal wedding when Brand appeared on ITV’s Loose Women and was asked about the unexpected link to Prince Harry’s fiancée. Confirming the scripted scene, Brand remarked at the time:“I don’t remember the movie very well. I think I kissed her in one scene.”
Renewed Scrutiny Following Brand’s November 2026 Sentencing
Interest in Brand’s past film appearances and interviews surged again after a jury at London’s Southwark Crown Court convicted the 51-year-old comedian on November 5, 2026, of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault involving four women between 2004 and 2009. On November 9, 2026, he was sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison.
Meghan Markle’s Path from Early Cameos to Suits
Prior to landing her breakout role as paralegal Rachel Zane on USA Network’s legal drama Suits in 2011—a part she played until stepping away from acting in 2018 ahead of her royal marriage—Markle built her early career through guest spots and supporting film parts, including:
-
Television Guest Roles: General Hospital (2002), CSI: NY, 90210, and Without a Trace.
-
Feature Film Appearances: Supporting turns in Remember Me and Horrible Bosses alongside her brief appearance in Get Him to the Greek.
