Suits Exec Reveals Megan’s Exit from Show Preceded Relationship with Prince Harry

In a surprising turn of events, it has been revealed that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, was actually written out of the hit TV show Suits before she even started dating Prince Harry.

This revelation comes amidst the extensive coverage of Suits breaking streaming records on Nielsen.

Oddly enough, despite being a supporting actress for seven out of the nine total seasons, Megan has garnered more attention than the lead actors in various Puff PR articles and social media posts by entertainment industry outlets.

The recent surge in viewership on streaming services like Netflix and Peacock, a major US network's streaming platform, has only added to the show's popularity.

Jean Klein, who served as a non-writing producer throughout the entire nine-season run, surprisingly didn't mention the Duchess of Sussex when discussing the factors contributing to the boost in viewership.

According to TVLine.com, citing the Nielsen streaming chart, Suits is currently one of the biggest shows globally.

During an interview, when asked about his thoughts on the show's unexpected success, Klein expressed his surprise and pride.

He admitted that while he anticipated a surge in viewership when Suits became available on Netflix, he never expected it to reach such heights.

The fact that the first three seasons made it to the Nielsen weekly top 10 further solidified his belief that people are sticking with the show and enjoying it.

When questioned about the reasons behind the show's enduring popularity even after being off-air for years, Klein suggested that there are two factors at play.

Firstly, the show itself possesses qualities that captivate audiences.

Secondly, the power of the streaming platform has played a significant role in attracting viewers.

While he acknowledged that some people may have initially tuned in due to Meghan's notoriety, he made it clear that her involvement was not a determining factor for the show's success.

Interestingly, reports have confirmed that Meghan Markle was written out of the next season of Suits, prompting her to search for an English partner.

This decision was made by the series creator, Aaron Kors, even before Meghan met Prince Harry.

Kors revealed that he had already written her character off a year in advance, as he wanted to respect her privacy and not interfere with her personal life.

Therefore, the creators collectively decided to create a natural exit for her character, Rachel Zane, who got married to Mike Ross, played by Patrick J. Adams, in the seventh season.

The couple then moved to Seattle to open a legal clinic.

Coincidentally, Adams also left the series at the same time.

It is worth noting that Meghan hadn't even started dating Prince Harry when she left the show.

This fact was evident during Harry and Meghan's wedding, where Suits cast members were invited to the church ceremony but not the evening reception.

Instead, they had a karaoke session in London.

The limited number of guests at the evening event meant that many others, including some of Harry's oldest friends, did not receive an invitation.

While none of Meghan's family attended, George and Amal Clooney were present, despite George admitting that he didn't know Meghan very well.

In conclusion, the news of Meghan Markle's departure from Suits before her relationship with Prince Harry adds an intriguing layer to the show's ongoing success.

Despite initial speculation, it is clear that her involvement was not the sole reason for the show's popularity.

Suits continues to captivate audiences worldwide, proving its enduring appeal even after years off-air.
