Meghan Markle rejected Daniel Craig’s next Bond Girl role after romance with Harry

Meghan Markle was once shortlisted to be a Bond Girl, The Sun reports.

The actress, 36, caught the eye of 007 producers in her role as Rachel Zane in US legal drama Suits last year.

Bosses wanted a glamorous actress for the upcoming films and thought Meghan would be a perfect fit.

Also on the shortlist was Baywatch stunner Ilfenesh Hadera, 32, who they thought could become one of Daniel Craig’s love interest in the upcoming 007 film Bond 25, which will be released in 2019.

But Meghan’s then-fledgling relationship with Prince Harry, 33, ruled her out of the role, as producers believed she would be unattainable.

She would have joined the long list of previous Bond girls, including Lea Seydoux, 32, and Eva Green, 37.
