Prince Charles could follow in Meghan's footsteps in next Bond film

The future King visited the set of the film in June

The name's Bond, Charles Bond! Meghan Markle soon may not be the only member of the royal family who appears on screen. The Duchess of Sussex’s father-in-law is reportedly considering a role in the latest installment of the 007 franchise. Prince Charles was offered a role when he paid a visit to the set of the film in June, according to the Sun; the idea of having the 70-year-old royal make an appearance in the film would generate as much buzz as his mother, the Queen’s short video with lead actor Daniel Craig.
