Meghan Markle, now known as the Duchess of Sussex, rose to fame through her role as Rachel Zane on the popular legal drama Suits. However, despite her successful run on the show, Meghan has openly admitted that she believed she had one of her “worst” auditions for the role. She almost missed out on the opportunity to play Rachel Zane, thinking she had messed up the audition. It wasn’t until she was brought back for further testing that she realized the casting team saw something in her that she had doubted.
A New Experience
Prior to Suits, Meghan had appeared in smaller roles in various films and TV shows. The fame that came with being a part of the legal drama was a new and overwhelming experience for her. The transition to the high-profile world of television brought with it security, police, and fans, a stark contrast from her previous projects that went unnoticed. Meghan expressed gratitude for the wild ride that Suits provided for her and the entire cast.
While the characters of Suits often butted heads on screen in the high-stress legal world, Meghan emphasized the strong bond she shared with the cast and crew off-camera. She described them as a “family”, living together in corporate housing while working on the show. The dynamic of the group contributed to the success of the series and created a supportive environment for everyone involved.
A Reflective Departure
After seven seasons on Suits, Meghan made the decision to depart from the show as she prepared to marry Prince Harry and transition into her role as a member of the royal family. Reflecting on her departure, Meghan emphasized that she didn’t see it as giving anything up, but as a new chapter in her life. She spoke about the importance of focusing on causes that were close to her heart and working with Harry as a team in their new journey together.
Emotional Reflections and Evolutions
Throughout her time on Suits, Meghan’s character, Rachel Zane, underwent significant growth and development. Meghan admired how her character evolved from failing the LSAT to becoming a successful lawyer, showcasing a strong work ethic and determination. She shared insights into the thought process behind the clothing choices for Rachel, noting how they reflected the character’s emotional state in various scenes. Meghan’s departure marked the end of an era for her involvement with the show, but Suits will always hold a special place in her heart.
Despite leaving Suits behind, Meghan continues to celebrate the show’s achievements and success. She expressed joy upon hearing about the renewed popularity of the series after it was featured on Netflix.
