Suits star had brutally honest answer when asked why Meghan Markle didn't join cast at final reunion
Suits has been off the air for the last five years when it ended in 2019, but fans were still confused when Meghan Markle didn’t turn up to the reunion.
As the most-watched Netflix series of 2023, the law drama was watched by fans for around 57.7 billion minutes, which even beat out The Office's record in 2020 of 57.1 billion.
The USA Network show has been on the streaming platform for a while now, and it’s magical to see new fans come and get hooked on the delicious plot and twists.
Having aired from 2011 to 2019, it took viewers through the journey of college dropout Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), who begins working as a law associate for Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht), even though he never received his degree.

Markle was also cast as Rachel Zane, along with Gina Torres as Jessica Pearson, Sarah Rafferty as Donna Paulsen and Rick Hoffman as Louis Litt.
When the cast reunited at the Golden Globes in January of this year, many noticed that the Duchess of Sussex wasn't there.
During a conversation with reporter Marc Malkin on the red carpet, Gina Torres said: "Well, when it all came through, we were texting each other. Our text thread is insane right now, it's exciting."
The interviewer asked about Markle, who announced she would not be reprising her role of Rachel Zane before announcing her engagement to Prince Harry in 2017.
Malkin asked: "Who texted Meghan and said 'you've got to come to the Golden Globes!'"
Torres was brutally honest, and didn’t mince her words when she responded: "We don’t have her number. We just don’t."
Adams and Macht presented at the ceremony and were joined on stage by Torres and Rafferty to deliver the award for Outstanding Drama Series.
HBO’s Succession took home the prize, and it was well-deserved.
Even though Markle wasn’t in attendance, the actress added: "She'll see, she'll watch. She'll be happy that we're here."
Adams also shared insights about the cast's texting habits while at the Golden Globes.
He said: "Mostly, I’m just trying to get Gabriel to respond. Honestly, he’s slow on the text and he has like six different numbers now because he lives in England.
"So, we’re just trying to find out which number works."
Jo Koy's controversial opening monologue also took aim at the Royal family, and it received some mixed reviews at the time.
He made a jab at the 'rich, white and dysfunctional' Royal Family, before going in on the couple.
Koy told the crowd at the event: "Succession has nine nominations. Just a great series about a rich, white, dysfunctional family, all scheming... oh, wait, that's The Crown. I'm sorry."
The comedian then took aim at the Sussexes about their Netflix deal, saying: "Harry and Meghan Markle got paid millions for doing absolutely nothing.
"And that's just by Netflix."
Even though there were some who felt his joking was a little too much, there wasn’t much drama after that and awards were handed out to the most deserving of shows.
