The shot seemingly showed the Duchess of Sussex behind the scenes on set.
Meghan Markle’s former costar Patrick J. Adams is looking back at their time together on Suits.
On Oct. 29, Adams, 43, posted nine pictures to Instagram, including a previously unseen shot of the Duchess of Sussex, seemingly taken on the set of Suits. Before she married Prince Harry in May 2018, Meghan, 43, played plucky paralegal Rachel Zane in the first seven seasons of the hit legal drama. The first seven seasons aired on USA Network from 2011 to 2018 and smashed streaming records when it debuted on Netflix in June 2023.
The never-before-seen photo of Meghan showed her wearing a dark v-neck top with a wishbone charm necklace, smoky eye makeup and her hair loose as she looked downwards. A camera crew and equipment in the background hinted that the snap was captured behind the scenes of Suits.
“Well @iamsarahgrafferty and I have petitioned to have Tuesday officially renamed Sidebar day. Turns out it’s complicated and there’s a little paperwork but I’ll keep the faith,” Adams wrote below the photos, tagging Suits costar Sarah Rafferty and referring to their podcast, Sidebar: A Suits Watch Podcast.
“Until then enjoy our newest @suitssidebar episode Dirty Little Secrets where we talk college pizza, clear up some misunderstanding about my towering height and tackle the mystery of why Jessica has no assistant. And I may or may not do a spot on William Wallace impression,” Adams wrote, tagging SiriusXM Podcasts and SiriusXM.
The actor’s carousel opened with a shot of him standing beside Suits costar Gabriel Macht and rolled to show images including Adams both with a camera and popping out from behind the door of what appeared to be an on-set trailer.
Adams shared the shots on the same day that he and Rafferty dropped a new episode of their Suits rewatch podcast, which debuted in late September.
Adams and Meghan filmed many scenes together across the first seven seasons of Suits, as a central storyline was their character’s office romance which — spoiler alert! — eventually ended with a wedding. On Oct. 21, he told The Hollywood Reporter that the Duchess of Sussex sent “a lovely text message” when Sidebar: A Suits Rewatch Podcast was announced and said in the podcast’s second episode that it was “pretty clear” Meghan would get the Suits role from the start.
On the Oct. 1 episode, the Accused actor said that he and Meghan “had done a pilot before” which didn’t get picked up, and “never saw each other again” until they were called in for a chemistry read for Suits.
“I think just knowing each other and getting to calm down and not have those nerves of just getting to know one another really helped that chemistry read,” Adams said. “We had an easygoing thing when we went into that room. And it was pretty clear that she was gonna get the part from the minute we did the chemistry read.”
“It was just so much easier than it was with anybody else — she crushed it and she crushes it in the show,” he added.
The Duchess of Sussex invited her Suits costars Adams, Rafferty, Macht, Rick Hoffman, Gina Torres and Abigail Spencer to her 2018 royal wedding to Prince Harry at Windsor Castle, and last year, Adams refreshed his Instagram bio to include a cheeky nod to the Sussexes.
“The guy from that show you’re watching on that app because that girl married that prince,” his bio line reads.
Though Meghan confirmed in her engagement interview with Prince Harry in November 2017 that she would no longer be acting, Deadline reported in April that the couple had two new nonfiction series in the “early stages” of production at Netflix.
A series curated by the Duchess of Sussex will “celebrate the joys of cooking and gardening, entertaining and friendship,” while the Duke of Sussex’s show POLO, about the equestrian sport he plays, will premiere in December.
Meghan and Prince Harry, 40, signed a multiyear deal with Netflix after stepping back from their royal roles in the U.K. and relocating to her home state of California in 2020. The New York Times reported that the couple’s production hub, later named Archewell Productions, would exclusively produce documentaries, docuseries, feature films, scripted shows and children’s programming for the streamer.
Previous projects have included Harry & Meghan, Live to Lead and Heart of Invictus.
