Patrick J. Adams and Meghan Markle’s romantic connection between their characters came easy because they were good friends offscreen. Speaking about their steamy scenes, Meghan told Entertainment Weekly in 2013, “We obviously talked a lot about it, and we’re really good friends. Once you develop a comfort level with someone, that translates on camera.”
In 2018, Adams told The Hollywood Reporter what he thinks made his relationship with Meghan different. He said, “Meghan and I were the closest because we were the youngest people in the cast and both came in with the least experience. We grew up together over the course of the show,” he continued, “There was this natural sense that we both knew that the time had come for both of us. It went unspoken and we just enjoyed the hell out of the last few episodes that we got to shoot.”
Since “Suits” ended, and with Meghan’s life changing drastically, Adams has been more vocal about their friendship. As noted by People, in a since-deleted tweet from 2021, Adams defended the royal from bullying allegations, sharing, “From day one she [Meghan] was an enthusiastic, kind, cooperative, giving, joyful and supportive member of our television family. She remained that person and colleague as fame, prestige and power accrued.” Clearly, Meghan and Adams made a lasting bond during their time on “Suits,” even if they might not see each other as often.
