The Suits cast united to present an award at the 2024 Golden Globes ceremony, but were asked about the Duchess of Sussex on the red carpet.

One reporter spoke to Gina Torres, who played Jessica Pearson on the show, and said: “Suits reunion!

“Everywhere I look, there’s a star from Suits! Did you plan this? Are you all texting each other?”

Gina answered: “Yeah, our text thread is insane right now!”

The interviewer asked why royal mum-of-two Meghan was absent and if they had “texted” her to join them.

Gina replied: “We don’t have her number.

“We just don’t, so… She’ll see, she’ll watch. She’ll be happy that we’re here.”

The Duchess of Sussex did not attend this year’s ceremony, but it is understood that she was invited.

Patrick J. Adams, who played Meghan’s love interest Michael Ross, praised his former co-star on the red carpet.

He said: “I think Meghan is a fantastic actress so we’d be lucky to have her back in the industry.”

Upon being asked if he would do a Suits reboot or spin-off, Patrick said: “Let’s go, I’m ready. Mike and Rachel in Seattle.”

In September, the actor shared a number of unseen photos from their time together on set, sparking rumours of a new season.

The snaps included the former actress lying seductively on the set floor and lounging on a sofa in a pair of stilettos – and Patrick added he “misses his friends”.

Patrick also included a number of black-and-white portrait-style shots of the rest of the cast, including Meghan’s friend and co-star Sarah Rafferty, who starred as legal secretary Donna.

Meghan played paralegal Rachel Zane on Suits for seven seasons, but left in 2017 after she started dating Prince Harry.

The Duchess of Sussex’s former showbiz agent, Gina Nelthorpe-Cowne, told the Daily Mail that she thought Meghan would return to her former career.

She told the Mail: “I’m sure she’ll make a movie again… I really do think that.”

Meghan worked for over 15 years in the acting industry before meeting Prince Harry, including starring in Horrible Bosses, Remember Me and 90210.

In 2020, she narrated a Disney+ documentary ‘Elephants,’ in her first post-Megxit media project after her husband was filmed suggesting her for a job at the Lion King premiere.

Creator Aaron Korsh was asked by The Hollywood Reporter in August if a Suits revival was on the cards and he said he would “consider” it if he had an idea and “the cast was into it:”

However, he added on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Let me say right off that there is no #Suits reboot or anything in the works.”

Meghan invited the Suits cast to celebrate her royal wedding in 2019 at Windsor Castle, and they shared behind-the-scenes pictures from the lavish reception.

Meghan’s final episode aired in April 2019, just a month before the royal wedding.

The legal drama revolved around Mike gaining a position at a swanky lawyer’s office in New York city.

Throughout the show, Mike and Rachel became romantically involved and then went on to marry and set up their own legal firm in Seattle.

Patrick, who is married to Pretty Little Liars star Troian Bellisario, welcomed his first daughter, Aurora, in 2018 and they had a second daughter, Elliot, in 2021.

He joked that he would be happy for his kids to have a playdate with Meghan and Harry’s kids, Archie, four, and Lilibet, two.

The actor said: “Maybe at her house, it’s a little bigger.

“We’ve shared exactly zero tips with her, because I don’t think Meghan needs any tips about anything.”
