Does Meghan Markle Still Keep In Contact With Her Suits Co-Stars?

Many people have been curious about the current relationship between Meghan Markle and her former Suits co-stars. Leaving a hit show to marry a British prince and become one of the most famous women in the world would likely affect anyone’s relationships, and rumors have circulated that Meghan may have become arrogant toward her former colleagues since joining the royal family.

However, many of her former co-stars have come forward to defend her and dispel these rumors.

Patrick J Adams, who played Meghan’s love interest on Suits, defended Meghan amidst her complicated relationship with the British press, expressing on Twitter:

“Meghan Markle and I spent the better part of a decade working together on Suits. From day one she was an enthusiastic, kind, cooperative, giving, joyful and supportive member of our television family. She remained that person and colleague as fame, prestige and power accrued … It sickened me to read the endless racist, slanderous, click baiting vitriol spewed in her direction from all manner of media across the UK and the world, but I also knew that Meghan was stronger than people realized or understood and they would regret underestimating her.”
