'Scared' Meghan's co-star admits he has 'pure fear' over speaking to Duchess
One of Meghan Markle's Suits co-stars has revealed his "pure fear" at reaching out to the Duchess of Sussex due to her rise in fame.
Patrick J. Adams, 42, starred in the series alongside Meghan - who played Rachel Zane for seven seasons - and the pair had an on-screen relationship. They worked together from 2011 to 2018 when Meghan left Suits after marrying Prince Harry.
The Canadian-American actor was among the guests at Harry and Meghan's wedding in May 2018 and he then admitted that the pair exchanged messages and "gifts" when their children were born. But the actor admitted there has been "zero communication" between him and Meghan as he felt "intimidated".

No, no communication." Back in 2020, the actor told Radio Times: "Quite frankly, I think I'm intimidated. I have no doubt I could pick up the phone and call her at any moment, but I don't know what I would say.

"After our children were born, there were some texts sent and gifts sent, but I guess I'm a little scared. I think it's pure fear. I guess I'm scared about the idea of breaking through whatever walls exist to have that conversation."
He also said it was "wild" to watch how Meghan's life changed since she left acting to marry Harry and join the Royal Family. Less than two years after their marriage, in January 2020 the Sussexes announced they would be stepping down as senior royals. Since then, they have lived in California.
Mr Adams admitted he and the Duchess of Sussex spoke and texted "a couple of times" but said they do not spend any time together as her life is "incredibly full". The Hollywood Reporter also asked another of Meghan's co-stars, Gabriel Macht, about whether he has kept in touch with Meghan.
He replied: "I have not communicated with her other than seeing her big support for the resurgence, and that has been really nice." And Mr Adams then took a moment to make a joke as he pretended his phone was ringing, saying: "Oh, hold on. There she is. Oh, got to go."

He said: "I miss my friend, but I'm very happy she's doing well. I don't really have any regular contact."
Meghan has spoken fondly about her time on Suits and even referred to the cast as her "family". During a 2017 appearance at the ATX Television Festival, she said: "We were in a group email the other day, and I was saying we'd all lived in the same corporate housing - so on top of working together, we were living together - which makes a whole different dynamic, I think. We just became this whole family right out the gate."
