Former Suits star, Gina Torres, opened up about the strict protocol at 's wedding to .

Torres played law firm partner Jessica Pearson on the hit legal drama for seven seasons, while Meghan played paralegal Rachel Zane.

Meghan left the show to marry into the royal family, while Torres went on to star in her own spin-off show called Pearson.

Torres was among the main cast invited to Meghan's wedding to Harry in May 2018.

She stunned in a red and white floral dress and cream hat.

However, in an interview for Variety, Torres revealed there was a restrictive dress code with many rules to stick to and she was worried because her dress broke some of them.

Trending:

Guests had to give up their phones and only got them back after the ceremony.

Torres bought the frock off the internet, thinking that she would not get any camera time at all, given that hundreds of the world's dignitaries and A-list celebrities would be in attendance.

This turned out to be incorrect, as her outfit garnered much attention and featured in several best-dressed lists.

She recalled how she and other women who were going discussed their clothes ahead of time, worried that their outfits would break protocol.

“We had to give our phones, but when we all got back on our bus to be taken back to the hotel we would give our phones back and the bus had moved out of the dead zone, you could hear all the cell phones ringing in the bucket, this cacophony of pings and all of these websites and people sending me pictures of me on 10 best-dressed lists,” Torres said.

While Torres and Meghan got on while they worked on suits together, they are no longer in contact.

Torres insisted there was no falling out at all, but she has worked with hundreds of people in her career and one can never keep in touch with everyone.

She said she and Meghan were on different trajectories in their lives and careers even before she met her prince.

Gina said she enjoyed working with Meghan and they had a great time on the show, but no longer speak.

Torres was not the only one to be taken aback by the sheer amount of protocol associated with a royal wedding.

Carrie Mulligan and her husband Marcus Mumford were both invited to the ceremony and arrived very early, so we're waiting around for hours.

In other news, has been called out for her alleged attempts to keep trading Duchess title for the American dream.

US commentator Lee Cohen made this shocking claim just recently.

He was quoted telling Express UK, “They performed exactly as one would expect for who they are.

In that role, that's probably an appropriate place for them.

But where the Sussex is the couple and in particular Ms. Markle wrangle many here in the US as well as in Britain is when she uses her royal title.

As a scholar and enthusiast of the British monarchy, I hold a view of the monarchy's benefits that many American countrymen don't share.

Nevertheless, most of us can spot opportunists and it is plain when Ms. Markle offers political opinions using her platform of fame, she is trading off the title that she gained through marriage but then stepped away from.

She and Harry rejected real and meaningful royalty for superficial Hollywood fame.”

Everyone is always asking about a Suits reunion and then trying to figure out if there was one if Meghan would do it, too.

Meghan Markle's wedding to was a grand affair, but it came with its own set of rules and regulations that guests had to follow.

With the recent revelations from Torres, it is clear that the dress code was particularly strict and guests had to give up their phones.

Despite this, Torres still managed to make it on the best-dressed lists, showing that even with strict rules, fashion can still be fun.

As for Meghan's alleged attempts to keep trading her Duchess title for the American dream, it remains to be seen what the future holds.

However, it is clear that Meghan and Harry have made a name for themselves outside of the royal family and are continuing to make headlines with their various ventures.

While Torres may no longer be in contact with Meghan, she still has fond memories of working with her and being a part of her special day.
