Meghan Markle may not be watchingSuitsafter leaving the USA network series, but if she happened to tune into Thursday’s episode, she would have seen a cute nod to her new royal life.
In a hilarious bit of dialogue, theDuchess of Sussex‘s onscreen husbandPatrick J. Adamsupdated viewers on how her character, Rachel Zane, has been doing since the pair moved to Seattle to start their own law firm.
Asked, “How’s Rachel?” Adams (as lawyer Mike Ross) said, “Good. In fact, if I told you how good, you probably wouldn’t believe me.”
It’s been over a year since Meghan last appeared onSuits.
Though she was one of the original cast members on the show — which first aired in June 2011 — and was featured in 107 episodes, Meghanexited her role in April 2018at the end of the show’s seventh season with an onscreen wedding beforetying the knotwithPrince Harryin real life.
She also confirmed that she would no longer be acting.
“I don’t see it as giving anything up. I just see it as a change,” she said in herfirst joint interviewwithPrince Harryin November 2017.
“It’s a new chapter, right? And also, keep in mind, I’ve been working on [Suits] for seven years. We were very, very fortunate to have that sort of longevity on a series,” she said, adding, “I’ve ticked this box, and I feel very proud of the work I’ve done there, and now it’s time to work with [Harry] as a team.”
“I think what’s been really exciting as we talk about the transition out of my career and into my role is the causes that are really important to me that I can focus even more energy on,” she said. “Very early out of the gate, I think you realize you have access or a voice that people are willing to listen and with that comes a lot of responsibility, which I take seriously.”
