When asked why Meghan Markle hadn’t joined the Suits reunion, one of the stars of the show gave a pretty brutal answer.
Markle's time on the hit legal drama marked her last acting role, as she ended up going from Rachel Zane to being a member of the British royal family - although, she is reportedly making a return to her acting roots, having been spotted on the set of Amazon MGM Studios’ film Close Personal Friends.
Markle never completely left the industry, from her Netflix series to her voice over roles over the years, but fans have never had her back as the witty former associate and paralegal Rachel Zane, that’s for sure.
The 44-year-old left the series at the end of its seventh season and when she left, she, like, really left, it seems.

With fans absolutely buzzing, a whole load of the cast of Suits reunited at the Golden Globes in January 2024 but they were missing (you guessed it!) Markle.
And when one of her former cast mates was asked about her absence, they didn't mince their words.
Actress Gina Torres, who played the tough-talking managing partner Jessica Pearson at the fictional law firm, was chatting to reporter Marc Malkin and said that the Suits squad have a group chat which is still thriving.
She explained that they were all 'texting each other' incessantly after being asked to present an award together at the Golden Globes, adding: "Our text thread is insane right now, it's exciting."

Malkin then asked who had got in touch with Markle to request her presence - and Torres gave a brutally honest answer.
She responded: "We don’t have her number. We just don’t."
Elaborating on the Suits cast's lack of communication with the Duchess of Sussex, the Firefly actress added: "She'll see, she'll watch. She'll be happy that we're here."
So, no bad blood - it just sounds like Markle has stopped updating her old pals when she gets a new phone number.

Patrick J. Adams, who played her on-screen love interest for the best part of seven years, pretty much confirmed this fan theory during an episode of his new podcast called Sidebar.
He revealed that since she got hitched to Prince Harry, Markle has been on a 'very different' path in life to the rest of them, so they are 'not really in touch' these days.
However, she did hit Adams up to congratulate him on Sidebar when she got wind of his latest venture and offered to 'help in any way' she could.
