Meghan Markle left out of Suits reunion as co-stars make confession

Meghan Markle has been left out of reunion plans for her former Netflix show Suits.

The Duchess of Sussex played main character Rachel Zane on the show, and during the show's finale, tied the knot with Mike Ross (Patrick J Adams). Gina Torres, who portrayed Jessica Pearson on the show, revealed that while a Suits reunion could be in the works, not everyone will be a part of it.

She told interviewers on the red carpet that she "doesn't have Meghan's number" and as a result, the former royal is seemingly not included in plans for the reunion.

"Our text thread is insane right now," Gina said of her conversations with her former Suits co-stars, but when she was asked whether anyone had invited Meghan along with them to the Golden Globes, she admitted: "We don’t have her number.

"We just don’t, so… She’ll see, she’ll watch. She’ll be happy that we’re here," Gina added. Before making her appearance in Suits, Meghan had mainly been minor roles in films.

She had a cameo as a barmaid in the movie Remember Me, which featured Robert Pattison, as well as small parts in Horrible Bosses, Get Him To The Greek, Random Encounters and Dysfunctional Friends. She also had a small stint as a Briefcase Girl on Deal or No Deal.

But once she made it onto Suits, she hit it big time and was handed a large (and well-deserved) salary. The actress recorded more than 100 episodes of Suits, starring in over seven seasons of the hit USA Network show, which is now on Netflix, as Rachel Zane. She reportedly earned £37,000 per episode, putting her annual salary at £333,000.

And as part of her contract with the show, Meghan is still earning royalties from her appearances. According to Marie Claire, Meghan and the show's other stars get cash every time the episodes air in the US or on the NBA Peacock streaming service. They also report that Meghan will get cash from Netflix, which is good news for her as the show is still regularly in the most popular streams on the platform.

According to sources, it was these royalties that helped Meghan and Prince Harry buy their stunning Montecito home after they quit their royal roles and left the UK back in 2020.
