Meghan Markle's ex Suits Her co-star has revealed what she told him before her royal wedding to Prince Harry.
The Duchess of Sussex rose to fame playing paralegal Rachel Zane on the USA network legal drama. Wendell Pierce, who played her father, Robert Zane, on the series, revealed in an upcoming episode of Who's talking to Chris Wallace? what he said to Markle after their final scene.
“It was the last night of work and I told her, 'Meghan, your life is going to change and you're going to be in a bubble, but always remember, no matter what, I'm your friend, you have a lot of friends,'” she recalled to host Chris Wallace, in a preview obtained by People.
Pierce continued: “'We're always thinking about you, we'll always be there for you. And you know, no matter where you are, you should always know that you have a friend in me.'”
At another point in the episode, Pierce was asked what Markle is like as an “actress” and “person.”
“She's wonderful. She's wonderful at both. She's the kindest person ever,” he said. “And actually, what bothers me the most right now for Meghan is the fact that I know she would love to act again.”

During his appearance in Who's talking to Chris Wallace? Pierce was also asked about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's departure from royal life in 2020 and the tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
“Controversy and the life that is lived before the public always takes on a life of its own. And it's almost one of those things that sometimes you can't control,” Pierce said. “And then the suggestion I make in public interviews like this is to always trust your love. You love this man. “You love your two children.”
This is not the first time that a Suits The cast member has opened up about Markle's real life. Rick Hoffman, who played Louis Litt on the show, appeared on a recent episode of the Girls in the office podcast, where he talked about being caught on camera during the 2018 royal wedding with what he described as a “horrible face.” Rather, it was a reaction to something he smelled during the ceremony.
“As time goes by, I start to smell something really terrible and disgusting, and I'm very sensitive when it comes to that, so I start trying to do this,” Hoffman said, while covering his face. “Because I have a coconut and vanilla moisturizer and I like to try to cut it. How can I avoid getting away from this stupid face?
The actor recalled sitting next to another. Suits student, Sarah Rafferty, as she mentioned that he liked to make fun of her. At one point, he was “doing something ridiculous” to provoke a reaction from Rafferty, before she told him “enough is enough.”
However, Hoffman recalled turning to his friends after he could no longer stand the smell. “Because I don't want them to think that it's me, that I'm very demanding about hygiene,” he jokes.
“So I said, 'Do you smell that?' And they say, 'No.' So now I'm literally alone and I just say, 'Mother…'” Hoffman said. “And that's what they got [on camera].”
“Guess who knew the most in the cast that had issues with other people's hygiene?” Hoffman asked, before answering himself: “Meghan! “I always knew and would always laugh at how sensitive he was.”
