Duchess of Sussex laughs off comment about her acting past
Meghan Markle had a slightly uncomfortable moment during the latest season of her Netflix series With Love, Meghan, when a guest dismissed her breakout show Suits — right to her face.
In the seventh episode of season two, which premiered on August 26, Meghan welcomed mixologist Payman Bahmani-Bailey to talk about his unusual career path from law to cocktails. Midway through the chat, Meghan couldn’t resist bringing up the legal drama that launched her acting career.
“Did you watch Suits?” Meghan asked enthusiastically. But Bahmani-Bailey’s blunt response — “No, no, I don’t watch basic cable” — caught viewers by surprise.
Meghan, 44, handled it with a laugh, though the exchange didn’t end there. The guest doubled down, adding, “I like shows with curse words and stuff,” to which Meghan replied with a smile, “Great, I love it.”
Meghan starred as paralegal Rachel Zane for seven seasons before leaving the series in 2017, just as her relationship with Harry became public. At the time, she explained her decision as a natural shift: “I don’t see it as giving anything up. I just see it as a change… I feel very proud of the work I’ve done there, and now it’s time to work with [Harry] as a team.”
Even if her guest wasn’t a fan, Meghan’s Suits legacy has only grown. The show enjoyed a massive streaming resurgence in 2023, topping charts years after its finale.
