Meghan Markle rules out Suits finale return because she will be ‘too busy as a new mum’
BEFORE she was the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle was better known as Rachel Zane, the paralegal turned hot- shot lawyer on US drama, Suits.
With news this week that the telly series was being axed, Hollywood has been abuzz with rumours the royal might make a final return to the show for its swansong this year.
However, I can reveal Meghan will not return to her former acting profession, even for a final sojourn.
Instead, she will stay entirely focused on her new role, which involves extensive charity work and looking after her new family in the UK, with her baby due in April.
Meghan remains close friends with many of the Suits cast and will send them her well wishes privately, but understands any cameo appearance would be an unnecessary distraction at this point in time.
Meghan featured in seven series, starting with the debut in 2011 and departing in April last year, shortly before her wedding to Prince Harry.
For the past 48 hours, rumours have abounded Stateside that Meghan and her onscreen husband Patrick J. Adams and co-star Gina Torres could make a shock return for the final episodes.
There has even been talk that bosses will tempt Meghan back by paying a huge fee to charity.
Speaking about the possibility of the royal reprising her role, Suits creator Aaron Korsh said: “As of this minute, I don’t know which of our old original cast will be back and which won’t because we’re so early in the season.
“I can tell you that those things in the papers, I have no idea what they’re talking about.
“I have not arranged for millions of dollars to be donated to anything on behalf of anyone, so that I can tell you.
“But as far as the original people coming back, including Jessica (Gina’s character), we’re so early in the season that we haven’t formulated what we want to do, so we can’t reach out to people before we know what we want to do.”
As things stand, I hope Aaron isn’t writing Rachel Zane into his final episode.
