Patrick J. Adams is not in regular contact with Meghan Markle, but the Duchess of Sussex recently contacted her former colleague, and the actor feels the love.
The Suits star, 43, responded to fans’ comments and questions on a Reddit thread on Sunday, Oct. 6, including a pointed question about how his relationship with Meghan, 43, has changed since she left the show in 2018 to marry Prince Harry.
“Is it weird now that your costar is now royalty? Are you still in touch?” a fan asked, with Adams admitting that he and the Duchess of Sussex “don’t really keep in touch” as he clarified that she “leads a very different life now for obvious and important reasons.”

However, after hearing the news that Adams and Sarah Rafferty were launching a podcast to rewatch the much-loved show, the actor said Meghan reached out.
“When I heard about the podcast, I got a nice message saying how excited she was for us and asking how she could help in any way,” Adams wrote.
He said it was “so nice to still have such support and friendship after so many years apart”.

Meghan and Adams’ characters – Rachel Zane and Mike Ross – were love interests on the show and eventually married on screen. In the second episode of his and Rafferty’s Sidebar: Suits Watch Podcast, Adams recalled working with the Duchess even before the pilot for Suits.
He revealed that they “used to do a pilot” but it wasn’t picked up, so they “never saw each other again” until they were invited to Suits chemistry to read.
“I think knowing each other and being able to settle down and not have the nerves of just getting to know each other really helped with that chemistry,” Adams said. “We felt relaxed when we walked into that room.”

He also recalled that Megahn was immediately cast in the role. “And it was pretty clear that she was going to get the part from the moment we started reading the chemistry. It was much easier than with anyone else — she crushed it and she’s going to crush it on the show.”
