Meghan Markle was apparently offered some stern advice from her Suits co-star

One of Meghan Markle’s Suits co-stars gave the former actress a warning after discovering she was dating Prince Harry.

Before she was known as the Duchess of Sussex, Markle was an established actress who was playing the role of Rachel Zane on the legal drama – which is currently undergoing a revival since being added to Netflix.

When Markle was first linked to the Prince in 2016, several people around the world were left shocked at a member of the Royal Family was dating an American actress – and that included the cast of Suits.

Several of Markle’s Suits co-stars had learned about the relationship before the rest of the world, however, this didn’t stop them from being surprised by the revelation.

Revealing their reactions on the Today show ahead of Meghan and Harry’s Royal Wedding in May 2018, Rick Hoffman, Sarah Rafferty and Gina Torres shared the words of advice they gave their former co-star about her new relationship.

Rick, who played Louis Litt on the show, said it was a surprise when he first found out.

“I had gotten the news early, and I was like, ‘You got to be kidding me’. And it was like, both of us in the trailer like, ‘Oh my. You’re going – you’re dating a prince?'”

After the initial news sunk in Rick was quick to share his advice, telling Markle: “I was just like, ‘Well, take it slow. Be careful. Don’t let him hurt you’.”

Meghan and Harry first started dating in 2016 after being set up on a blind date by a mutual friend, before the news eventually made it into the press the following October.

Harry later proposed to the actress in November 2017, which saw her leave her role as Rachel Zane after seven seasons.

“[She said] that he’s lovely. You know, they’re a great match,” Sarah added. “We worked so many years together on a show.

“We were with each other for longer than we went to college or high school. We became family in a way. We’re still family. This is a wonderful family affair.”

“We knew she was excited. And there was reason to keep it, you know, close to the vest,” Gina added.

Suits would run for two more seasons after Meghan left, before ending in 2019.

The series has been a hit amongst fans on Netflix since it landed on the streaming site, with the show topping the top 10 most watched list for a month in 2023.

Fans were also recently given hope for the idea of a Suits reunion movie, after series star Patrick J Adams refused to rule out the idea of the cast reprising their roles for one last time at a recent panel on 2 June.
