Another said simply: "Louis Fitt," as another marvelled: "Wow, I didn't recognise him for a sec!"
Hoffman previously he shared how he warned Meghan Markle about getting involved with Prince Harry.
Speaking on the Today show ahead her marriage, he recalled: "I had gotten the news early, and I was like, 'You got to be kidding me'. And it was like, both of us in the trailer like, 'Oh my. You're going - you're dating a prince?'"
He said he tried to give Markle some advice: "I was just like, 'Well, take it slow. Be careful. Don't let him hurt you'."
Suits carried on for two more series before ending in 2019 after she left, and even had a reunion, but Markle was nowhere to be seen.
Co-star Gina Torres confessed: "We don’t have her number. We just don’t."
She insisted there was no hard feelings: "She'll see, she'll watch. She'll be happy that we're here."
